SAFETY in Flying
This is NOT a toy! It is a very high-performance RC airplane capable of high speeds and
extreme maneuvers It should only be operated by a competent pilot in a safe area with proper
supervision
ONLY fly your aircraft in a safe, open area, away from spectators and vehicles and where it is
legal to fly NEVER fly over an unsafe area, such as a road or street
NEVER fly near overhead power or utility lines If your airplane ever becomes stuck in
a line or a tree DO NOT attempt to retrieve it yourself Contact the authorities for
assistance in retrieving your aircraft Power lines are DANGEROUS and falls from
ladders and trees CAN KILL!
Never fly too close to yourself or spectators
Spinning propellers are DANGEROUS!
Never run your motor inside a house or building with the propeller attached Remove the
prop for safety Always fly within your control
Always follow manufacturers instructions for your radio system
Always preform a pre-flight check of your aircraft to be certain of the aircraft's
airworthiness

UNPACK :
Unpack your airplane and examine the components Check for damage of any kind If you have
damage, please contact Extreme Flight to discuss Contact info listed above
WRINKLES :
Your airplane was packed in plastic at the factory without any wrinkles in the covering You may
notice some wrinkles now; more likely, you will notice a few in a day or two or the first time you take
the plane out to the flying field These wrinkles are the result of wood shrinkage and/or expansion
Balsa wood changes size and shape slightly as it is exposed to varying humidity in the air This is a
natural property of balsa wood As your airplane adjusts to the weather in your part of the world,
wrinkles may appear and disappear Wrinkles may be removed with the gentle application of heat to
the covering material on your airplane The best tools to use are a heat gun and covering iron Apply
the heat gently: the covering material will shrink as you apply the heat, and this will remove the
wrinkles BE CAREFUL! Too much heat applied too quickly can damage the covering, either by
causing it to pull away from the wood at seams and corners or even by melting it The covering will
shrink at low temperature with patient application of heat Wrinkles in the covering DO NOT affect
flight performance If you must shrink on a color-seam, use the iron and go slowly and carefully to
avoid any pulling or lifting at the seam
Remove the canopy before attempting to use heat on your covering! The canopy is made of thermo-
activated plastic and WILL deform with the application of heat Do not apply heat to the canopy
PAINT:
If you need to clean your airplane, we recommend using a damp towel The paint used on the canopy
and cowl is not safe for all cleaners In particular, DO NOT use alcohol on these parts, it will remove
the paint

The 75” Extra 330 LT comes with pre-hinged and pre-gap-sealed wings/ailerons to save time during your
build. The airplane also comes with the hinges pre-glued to the rudder and elevator halves to further lessen
the work. All tail hinges are the same type and work the same way. The below instructions cover the use of
polyurethane and epoxy glue. If you are using a type of specific RC-hinge glue, follow the direction on the
hinge glue bottle.
Quick HOW TO use PU (Polyurethane) glue: (Using hinge installation as the example)
1) Apply Petroleum Jelly to center hinge joint using cotton swab.
2) Lightly ampen all holes with water. (More important in ry climates)
3) Squeeze in a small amount PU glue into all hinge holes.
4) Install hinges.
5) Wipe away glue as it expan s an foams using rubbing or enature alcohol. (Keep an eye on it an
wipe as require for the first 10-20 mins)
6) Allow to fully cure.
