Warning!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 pre-adjusted aircraft.#P-38 lightning is specially designed to be powered by 46(2C ) engine,using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance.In fact, over powered engine may cause severe damage and injuries.#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 wrinkls 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.

The ideal C.G.position is 130mm(5.1in)behind the leading edge measured at top wing centre line.In order to obtain the C.G.specified ,add weight to the fuselage or move the battery position.Check the C.G.before flying.
