Important Safety Precautions

First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer is  

  

absolutely necessary.
Pre - flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly 

adjusted aircraft.

pre - 

Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get 

too close to a running propeller.
If you find wrinkles on the covering as a result of weather changes, you can use hot iron 

to remove the wrinkles.  Please begin with lower temperature setting and gradually raise 

the  temperature until the wrinkles are gone.  Too hot an iron may damage the covering.
Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if applicable. 

SPITFIRE 160

 is specially designed to be powered by 

1.60 2

-stroke glow engine, using 

a more powerful engine does not mean better performance.  In fact, over powered engine 

may cause severe damage and injuries.

 

Warning!

When Flaps are lowered, nose of model will rise. The nose-up varies with the speed at which

the model is flying when you lower the flaps and the extent to which they are lowered.  Check

effect of flaps at higher altitude to avoid surprises during landing.  You may apply down trim

of the elevator to compensate for the nose-up effect when lowering the flaps.  Taking off with 

flaps lowered is not recommended, as the increased drag may require a longer runway and

more engine power for the model.

  

Measure C.G. with the wheels in retracted position.

http://www.theworldmodels.com/para/instruction/instructionManuals.php

The ideal C.G. position is 

116mm (4.6 in)

behind the leading edge measured 

at where the wing meets the fuselage.  In order to obtain the C.G. specified, 

add weight to the fuselage or move the battery position.  Check the C.G. before

 flying.

If you are converting this model to electric, please move the C.G. forward  10% of 

current C.G. distance from leading edge to compensate for weight of fuel.
