PREFACE
Congratulations on your purchase of the new CYCLONE XT.
The CYCLONE XT is a thermal motorglider with a dynamic ight envelope. It can be own within in
a broad speed range. There are various ways of constructing the model, depending on your prefe-
rences. Therefore the solutions stated in this manual should only be considered as recommendations.
For the most parts, the PNP (plug and play) version is already prefabricated.
The ARF version (almost ready to y) requires modeling experience and basic technical knowledge in
construction. Thus there are different ways to achieve a model with good ight skills. This is why most
alternatives are in fact explained in the manual but not necessary shown in the pictures.
Please read this manual carefully before you start assembling the model.

FLIGHT INSTRUCTIONS
• Before the rst ight, observe the instructions in the „Safety Instructions“ section.
• When ying the model, you should choose a day with as little wind as possible
• A large, at area without obstacles (trees, fences power lines etc.) is suitable for the rst ights.
• Please carry out a functional test of the drive train / power set and remote control.
• After assembling the model on the aireld, check once again that all model components such as
wing, tail units, wing mounts, engine, linkages, etc. are rmly and properly fastened.
• For a hand start a helper should be present, who can throw the model with enough thrust into the
air.
• The start usually takes place against the wind.
• Do not stall the model near the ground
• Do not initiate tight turns in the immediate vicinity of the ground.
• Check the reactions of the model to the rudder deections. If necessary, adjust after landing to
increase or decrease the deections accordingly.
• The minimum ight speed must be at an adequate safety altitude.
• Initiate the landing with sufcient speed
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR RECHARGEABLE BATTERIES
• Do not immerse the battery in water or other liquids.
• Do not heat, throw into re or microwave.
• Do not short-circuit or charge with reversed polarity
• Do not expose, deform or throw the battery
• Do not solder directly on the battery
• Do not change or open the battery
• Only charge the battery with suitable chargers, never connect it directly to a power supply unit.
• Never charge or discharge the battery or charger on a ammable surface.
• Never leave the battery unattended during charging or discharging processes.
• Never charge or discharge the battery in direct sunlight or near heaters or re.
• Do not use the battery in places subject to high static discharge.
All this can cause the battery to be damaged, explode or even catch re!
• Keep the battery away from children
• Keep leaked electrolyte away from re, as it is highly ammable and may ignite.
• The electrolyte liquid should not get into the eyes, if it does, rinse immediately with plenty of clear
water and then see a doctor.
• The electrolyte liquid can also escape from clothes and other objects with a lot of water or washed
off.
• Observe the safety instructions of the battery manufacturer and the charger manufacturer.
