Flying your AIR HOGS™ Plane
ALWAYS FLY YOUR PLANE IN A WIDE OPEN GRASSY AREA; THIS WILL ENSURE A LONGER LIFE FOR YOUR PLANE. ALWAYS USE CAUTION
WHEN FLYING YOUR PLANE! ALWAYS POINT YOUR PLANE AWAY FROM YOUR FACE AND OTHER PEOPLE WHEN LAUNCHING!
DO NOT FLY THE PLANE IN VERY WINDY CONDITIONS. DO NOT FLY THE PLANE IN TEMPERATURES BELOW 45°F/7°C. THE WINGS WILL
BECOME BRITTLE AND MAY BREAK, AND ENGINE PERFORMANCE WILL DECREASE.
ATTACHING PLANE TO PUMP
1
Attach the plane to the PUMP as shown. Gently push the
AIR HOLE (under the engine) onto the NOZZLE of the PUMP
station. Make sure you push the AIR HOLE all the way down
onto the NOZZLE. The NOZZLE CLIP should be secure to
the nozzle. If the plane is not pushed securely onto the
NOZZLE, the tank will not fill with air, and the plane will not fly.
2
POSITIONING FOR PUMPING
Put the pump on the ground and place one foot on each
side of the base.
PUMPING UP THE PLANE
3
Pump up the plane until you feel a lot of pressure and it
becomes very difficult to pump. It will take 40 to 60 pumps
to pressurize your plane (Tip: For maximum performance,
try 60 to 80 pumps.). When pumping, make sure you push
the pump handle all the way down.

straight before every flight to ensure maximum performance!
Hold the plane by the fuselage in your throwing hand.To
start the engine, flick the propeller firmly in the direction
shown by the arrow on the nose cone. If the propeller is
turning the wrong direction, the plane will not fly.

AND THE PLANE WILL NOT FLY.
PREPARING FOR TAKEOFF

Before flying your plane, check the wind direction. You
should always toss your plane against the wind for best take
off and flight results. If you can feel the wind against your
face, you are facing the correct direction. If the wind is at
your back, turn around until you feel the wind on your face.
You are now ready to fly your plane.

If you throw your plane in the same direction as the wind,
the plane will not perform well.
