INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing this plane.
Xact is not recommended as the first plane as
it does not have excessive stability, typical for
a trainer. Instead, Xact offers impressive
aerobatic performance due to its light weight
and low inertia. Its structural design is based
on the best F3A pattern ships, but its smaller
size allows for the use of inexpensive engines
and standard servos. Despite the light weight
of the plane, all the high stressed areas, like
wing and gear mounts, were designed with
large safety factors—they will withstand
excessive loads without damage. High degree
of pre-fabrication reduces your building time.
We hope you will enjoy flying this plane!
SAFETY
1. If your Xact is not assembled and operated
correctly, it could possibly cause injury to
yourself or spectators and damage to
property.
2. You must use R/C radio on a legal
frequency and in good operational
condition. It is a good idea to send your
radio for service in one of the certified
service centers (e.g., Futaba is serviced by
Great Planes / Tower Hobbies and their
prices are very reasonable; Hitec has very
long warranty and often fixes everything
free of charge).
3. You must correctly install all R/C and
other components, so that the model
performs flawlessly on the ground and in
the air.
4. You must check the operation of the mo-
del before every flight to insure that all
equipment is operating and that the model
is structurally sound. Be sure to check
clevises and other connectors often and
replace them at first signs of wear.
