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.

Congratulations on purchasing the Top Gun F-4E Phantom RTF
