SAFETY WARNINGS

Please read these before operating your Cosmic Flyer.

General

• Do not fl y your airplane if other models are being operated on the
same frequency in the area.

• Do not attempt to disassemble any of the airplane’s components or
allow them to get wet. Electrical damage may occur.

• Never fl y your airplane from roadways or after dark.

• Always fl y your airplane in a wide open area, free from wires,
trees and other obstructions.

• When operating/fl ying, always be aware of the spinning propeller.
Be careful not to let it come close to your body, other people or loose
clothing. Keep spectators behind you when fl ying.

• Since your airplane is controlled by a radio link, it is very important
to always use fresh dry cell batteries in the transmitter.

• Before fl ying, make sure you perform a range check and can
maintain control at least 25 feet from transmitter to plane with the

transmitter antenna collapsed.

• No solvents or liquid cleaners should be used to clean this model.
Doing so may damage the plane. Use a dry, soft cloth for cleaning.

Please read these before operating your

Batteries

• Never leave the fl ight pack battery unattended while charging. It can get
very hot. Only charge the fl ight pack battery until it becomes warm, not too
hot. This should take 1-2 hours.

• To prevent damage to your fl ight pack battery from overheating, allow the
pack to cool completely after each fl ight before recharging.

Radio

• Safe radio operation tip: The transmitter should always be the fi rst thing
you turn on - and the last thing you turn off.

• The transmitter’s antenna must be fully extended for optimum radio link
during fl ight.

• The fl ight pack battery should never be left in the plane while not in use.

• Do not trim the airplane’s antenna. It is cut to a specifi c frequency length.
To do so would drastically affect radio range.

• Never-never-never disassemble any of the radio components or expose
them to moisture.

Safety Warnings

Caution: Never mix old and new batteries. Only use fresh alkaline

(non-rechargeable) batteries in the transmitter to assure best radio
signal link. The transmitter requires 8 “AA” batteries.

• Install the transmitter antenna by screwing it
into the hole in the top of the transmitter as
shown.

• Remove the battery compartment hatch on the
back of the transmitter.

• Install 8 fresh “AA” alkaline batteries, paying
careful attention to proper “+” and “-” polarity.

• Slide the battery hatch cover back into place
until it locks.

• Turn your transmitter on by sliding the “on”
switch on the front of the transmitter. Both the

green and red lights on your transmitter should
be illuminated. If they are not, make sure you are using all fresh alkaline
batteries and recheck that the batteries have been inserted using the proper
polarity. If you still have problems, contact Megatech.
