WA R NI N G:
Thank you for purchasing the StarMax's F-35 Electric R\C airplane, F-35 is an Electric Ducted
Fan Jet which is ideal for the intermediate or advance flyer.
The F-35 will perform most maneuvers you will want to try, and the nice thing about it is if you
happen to meet the ground sooner than your had planned, there is a good chance the plane
will survive for another flight, although you may want a tube of goop or epoxy close by just to
be sure you can fix minor tears if they occur.
In order to fly the F-35, please make sure you read through the instructions carefully before
attempting to operate the model for the first time.
You alone are responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled model. Young people
should only be permitted to operate this model under the instruction and supervision of an
adult who is aware of hazards involved in this activity.
Please keep these operating instructions in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be
sure to pass the instructions on to the new owner.
If you have any questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model aircraft, please
contact your local model shop for professional advice.
Radio-controlled models are very demanding and potentially dangerous machines, and call for
a high level of technical knowledge and skill from the operator, together with a responsible
attitude.
Please always keep this instruction manual ready at hand for quick reference, even after
completing the assembly.

Problem Solving
Take-off:
1. Face into the wind, hold the plane horizontally and launch with a pushing motion.
2. Extend transmitter antenna all the way and check plane responds properly to transmitter
signal.
3. After launching,Climb 10-20°at full throttle. If plane doesn't climb accordingly, adjust
elevator control. After reaching an altitude of about 40m, begin making circular circuits with
the plane. You can also take off from the ground, gradually move the throttle stick to full
power, keep the plane straight by adding rudder stick when necessary.
Once plane is at full power into wind and has sufficient air speed gradually add a little
elevator until plane slowly lifts off the ground. Be careful not to over control the plane, just
keep steady and straight and climb to a safe height. At this point you should start to make
circular climbs and then into level flight.
Flight:
1. The plane should fly level at around 50% of full throttle.
2. The flight time will be prolonged if you allow the plane to sometimes glide at a safe altitude.
Landing:
When the battery runs low, the auto-cut relay may stop the propeller from rotating or you
should place the throttle to minimum. When the propeller stops rotating, decide your landing
route based on wind direction and landing area. Turn wide into wind. From altitude of about
1m use the elevator to land the plane horizontally, these ensure a safe landing.
