INSTRUCTION MANUAL

RTF MODEL

Top Gun Park Flite are proud to present this high performance
ducted fan sport scale model of the F4 Phantom. Supplied in
three versions, TGP0200 is a Ready to Fly package with
transmitter, receiver, LiPo flight battery and charger, TGP0201 is
an Almost Ready to Fly package without transmitter and
receiver and TGP0202 is an Airframe only with ducted fan and
motor.

This model has been designed with the utmost care and
attention to detail to produce a light weight, strong, and
realistic looking model aeroplane with excellent flying
characteristics.
We feel that this model emulates the style, performance and
character of its full size counterpart.
This model is a high performance miniature aircraft that allows
intermediate to advanced model pilots to perform both scale
and aerobatic manoeuvers. The light weight, large wing area
and powerful ducted fan motor assembly allow the model to fly
both fast and slow, with high speed rolls and tight turns while
maintaining full control.
These instructions assume a reasonable level of competence
for both building and flying and we recommend that the model
is flown at a recognised club with frequency control measures
and suitable third party insurance.

The owner – pilot of this model should take note of regulations,
and local bylaws before flying this aircraft.
Please take time to read through these instructions before
commencing assembly. We list operations in order of works to
reduce the risk of damage during assembly.

PLEASE READ THROUGH ALL WARNINGS AND
GUIDELINES FOR LIPO HANDLING AT THE
BACK OF THE MANUAL BEFORE USE.

An 11.1V 1300 mAh lithium polymer (LiPo) battery and charger
is included as part of this package and these cells must be
operated with care to prevent the risk of fire.
LiPo Batteries are soft cased and can be easily damaged by
sharp items, puncturing of the soft casing can cause fires and
we recommend that they are stored and handled carefully.

Use only a LiPo rated charger, set to a maximum of 3 cells
(11.1v) and no more than 1 amp charge current.
Remove battery from the aircraft and charge on a non
flammable, non conductive surface

Due to continual and ongoing product development the parts
shown in the manual may differ from those supplied.
