SAFETY NOTES
Before assembling and flying this model, read carefully any
instructions and warnings of other manufacturers for all the
products you installed or used on your model, especially radio
equipment and power source.
Check thoroughly before ever flight that the airplanes’
components are in good shape and functioning properly. If you
find a fault do not fly the model until you have corrected the
problem.
Radio interference caused by unknown sources can occur at any
time without notice. In such a case, your model will be
uncontrollable and completely unpredictable. Make sure to
perform a range check before every flight. If you detect a control
problem or interference during a flight, immediately land the
model to prevent a potential accident.
Youngsters should only be allowed to assemble and fly these
models under the instruction and supervision of an experienced
adult.
Do not operate this model in a confined area.
Do not stand in line with, or in front of a spinning propeller and
never touch it with any ob ject.
IMPORTANT: PRIOR TO ANY ASSEMB LY
Please Note: after removing kit from shipping box,
lay each piece flat on a hard surface, this will
allow the airframe to straighten out if lightly bend
from shipping. Do not worry since EPP is very
pliable and can be bend back if bend out so shape
easily.

Preght Checks Preght Checks
Motor: Should run smoothly at all stick
positions, and transition smoothly from low
to high RPM. If the motor is turning
backwards, reverse two of the three wires
between the motor and ESC. Check that the
screws holding the motor to the airframe are
tight and secure.
Flight Controls: Set all to neutral or level
positions with sticks in the neutral positions.
Ensure that all controls and linkages move
freely. Double check that all hinged areas
are free from rips or tears. Verify proper
control surface directions. Right Roll is –
right aileron up, left aileron down, Left Roll is
left aileron up and right aileron down.
Batteries: Should be fully charged prior to
each flight. Watch transmitter battery level
and follow manufactures recommendations.
Motor battery should not be drained any
f u r t h er t ha n r e co mm en de d b y t h e
manufacture, use a timer to prevent an over
discharged condition.
The first flights should be done with the CG
at the recommended position, and reduced
control rates until comfortable with your
handling of the aircraft. As your experience
with the aircraft grows experiment with
different CG points and control rates. After
all flights, check the aircraft over for damage
and/or other items that may adversely affect
flight performance.
This EPP Pylon Racer is a full performance
a i r c ra f t a nd w i l l p r ov i d e h o u rs o f
entertainment, including the occasional
crash. If, as the result of a crash, the foam
tears, simply glue with Welders or CA.
Many pilots prefer Welders because it
remains flexible after drying. CA however, is
more suited for the “quick” repair.
This aircraft can be flown indoors or
outdoors. It is however designed specifically
for outdoor flying and will be right at home in
the local park or other similar sized venue.
Radio: All trims should be set to neutral and
throttle in the low position. Check that rate
switches and mixes are set properly.
Range Check: With and without the motor
running per radio manufactures instructions.
If there is insufficient range or significant
reduction with the motor running, resolve
and re-test before flying.
Be safe and enjoy, thank you again for purchasing a Twisted Hobbys’ Product!

Storage
This EPP plane should be stored resting it's
landing gear or hung from the prop. Storing
in other fashions that put stress on the
airframe could cause the airframe to distort.
Storage in a hot car could also cause
damage.
