PreflightCheck Your RadioBefore going to the field, make sure your batteriesare fully charged per the instructions included withyour radio. Charge the transmitter and motor batteryfor your airplane. Use the recommended chargersupplied with your particular radio system, followingthe instructions provided with the radio. In mostcases, the radio should be charged the night beforegoing out flying.Before each flying session, be sure to range check yourradio. See your radio manual for the recommendedrange and instructions for your radio system. Eachradio manufacturer specifies different procedures fortheir radio systems. Next, run the motor. With themodel securely anchored, check the range again. Therange test should not be significantly affected. If itis, do not attempt to fly! Have your radio equipmentchecked out by the manufacturer.Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudderand throttle) move in the correct direction.Check the radio installation and make sure all thecontrol surfaces are moving correctly (i.e., the correctdirection and with the recommended throws).Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevisesto make sure they are secure and in good condition.Range Test Your RadioBefore each flying session, and especially with a newmodel, it is important to perform a range check. Itis helpful to have another person available to assistduring the range check. If you are using a Spektrum transmitter, please refer to your transmitter’s manual fordetailed instructions on the range check process. 1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30paces (approximately 90 feet) away from the model.2. Face the model with the transmitter in yournormal flying position. Be sure the throttle is in thefull down position and plug the flight battery intothe speed control.3. As you move the controls, watch to be sure theairplane’s motor and controls operate smoothly.You should have total control of the model at 30paces (90 feet).4. If control issues exist, call the appropriateHorizon Product Support office (see addresseslisted in the Warranty Services section of thismanual) or go to horizonhobby.com to find a localSpektrum distributor in your country for servicewhen using a Spektrum radio system.Flying Your ModelBegin by placing the model on the ground. Check allcontrol throws and ensure everything is traveling in theright direction. Move your idle trim up until the propbegins to spin; this will be your flight idle. Taxi intoposition on the runway, facing into the wind. Applypower slowly and steer with rudder. The tail will comeup very quickly. As you apply full throttle and cometo speed, apply a slight amount of up elevator andthe Sea Fury should lift off gently and begin to climbupwards. As you climb out, release the elevator andmaintain a gentle climb to about 100 feet of altitude.Once at about 100 feet of altitude, trim the model forlevel flight at 5/8 throttle. You will find the Sea Fury tobe very gentle on the control and feel quite light on thesticks. The model is capable of all the basic aerobaticmaneuvers; loops, rolls, stall turns, inverted flight, etc.If you have no roll issues with the model, then you areready to set up for landing. We normally do a passover the runway first. Turn into the downwind leg andmanage the power at about 1/2 throttle. As you turnto base leg, you may reduce the throttle a bit andthen, when you turn onto final approach, adjust thepower to maintain a shallow descent with the model.As you come down to an altitude of about 8 feet overthe runway, begin to level the model out, and, as youget within 3 feet, you will begin to flare for landing.The Sea Fury likes to be either landed on the mains orthree pointed on the gear in a full stall. The choice isyours.We at E-flite hope you enjoy your Sea Fury as muchas we have. Happy landings!22 E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 480 ARF Assembly Manual

Daily Flight Checks1. Check the battery voltage of the transmitterbattery. Do not fly below the manufacturer’srecommended voltage. To do so may cause youraircraft to crash.When you check these batteries, ensure you have thepolarities correct on your expanded scale voltmeter.2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts,and bolts) prior to each day’s flight. Be sure thatbinding does not occur and that all parts areproperly secured.3. Ensure all surfaces are moving in theproper manner.4. Perform a ground range check before eachday’s flying session.5. Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off yourtransmitter, then turn it back on. Do this each timeyou start your aircraft. If any critical switches areon without your knowledge, the transmitter alarmwill sound a warning.Limited WarrantyWhat this Warranty CoversHorizon Hobby, Inc.

It maynot exceed limitations of this code and is intendedexclusively for sport, recreation and/or competition.All model flights must be conducted in accordance withthis safety code and any additional rules specific to theflying site.1. Model aircraft will not be flown:(a) In a careless or reckless manner.(b) At a location where model aircraft activities areprohibited.2. Model aircraft pilots will:(a) Yield the right of way to all man carrying aircraft.b) See and avoid all aircraft and a spotter must beused when appropriate. (AMA Document #540-D-Seeand Avoid Guidance.)(c) Not fly higher than approximately 400 feet aboveground level within three (3) miles of an airport,without notifying the airport operator.(d) Not interfere with operations and traffic patterns atany airport, heliport or seaplane base except wherethere is a mixed use agreement.(e) Not exceed a takeoff weight, including fuel, of55 pounds unless in compliance with the AMA LargeModel Aircraft program. (AMA Document 520-A)(f) Ensure the aircraft is identified with the name andaddress or AMA number of the owner on the inside oraffixed to the outside of the model aircraft. (This doesnot apply to model aircraft flown indoors).(g) Not operate aircraft with metal-blade propellers orwith gaseous boosts except for helicopters operatedunder the provisions of AMA Document #555.(h) Not operate model aircraft while under theinfluence of alcohol or while using any drug whichcould adversely affect the pilot’s ability to safelycontrol the model.(i) Not operate model aircraft carrying pyrotechnicdevices which explode or burn, or any device whichpropels a projectile or drops any object that creates ahazard to persons or property.Exceptions:• Free Flight fuses or devices that burn producing smokeand are securely attached to the model aircraft duringflight.• Rocket motors (using solid propellant) up to a G-seriessize may be used provided they remain attached tothe model during flight. Model rockets may be flown inaccordance with the National Model Rocketry SafetyCode but may not be launched from model aircraft.• Officially designated AMA Air Show Teams (AST) areauthorized to use devices and practices as definedwithin the Team AMA Program Document (AMADocument #718).(j) Not operate a turbine-powered aircraft, unless incompliance with the AMA turbine regulations. (AMADocument #510-A).3. Model aircraft will not be flown in AMA sanctionedevents, air shows or model demonstrations unless:(a) The aircraft, control system and pilot skills havesuccessfully demonstrated all maneuvers intended oranticipated prior to the specific event.(b) An inexperienced pilot is assisted by anexperienced pilot.4. When and where required by rule, helmets must beproperly worn and fastened. They must be OSHA,DOT, ANSI, SNELL or NOCSAE approved or complywith comparable standards.B. RADIO CONTROL (RC)1. All pilots shall avoid flying directly over unprotectedpeople, vessels, vehicles or structures and shall avoidendangerment of life and property of others.2. A successful radio equipment ground-range checkin accordance with manufacturer’s recommendationswill be completed before the first flight of a new orrepaired model aircraft.E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 480 ARF Assembly Manual25

3. At all flying sites a safety line(s) must be established infront of which all flying takes place (AMA Document#706-Recommended Field Layout):(a) Only personnel associated with flying the modelaircraft are allowed at or in front of the safety line.(b) At air shows or demonstrations, a straight safetyline must be established.(c) An area away from the safety line must bemaintained for spectators.(d) Intentional flying behind the safety line isprohibited.4. RC model aircraft must use the radio-controlfrequencies currently allowed by the FederalCommunications Commission (FCC). Only individualsproperly licensed by the FCC are authorized tooperate equipment on Amateur Band frequencies.5. RC model aircraft will not operate within three(3) miles of any pre-existing flying site without afrequency-management agreement (AMA Documents#922- Testing for RF Interference; #923- FrequencyManagement Agreement)6. With the exception of events flown under officialAMA Competition Regulations, excluding takeoff andlanding, no powered model may be flown outdoorscloser than 25 feet to any individual, except for thepilot and the pilot’s helper(s) located at the flight line.7. Under no circumstances may a pilot or other persontouch a model aircraft in flight while it is still underpower, except to divert it from striking an individual.This does not apply to model aircraft flown indoors.8. RC night flying requires a lighting system providingthe pilot with a clear view of the model’s attitude andorientation at all times.9. The pilot of a RC model aircraft shall:(a) Maintain control during the entire flight,maintaining visual contact without enhancement otherthan by corrective lenses prescribed for the pilot.(b) Fly using the assistance of a camera or First-PersonView (FPV) only in accordance with the proceduresoutlined in AMA Document #550.C. FREE FLIGHT1. Must be at least 100 feet downwind of spectatorsand automobile parking when the model aircraft islaunched.2. Launch area must be clear of all individuals exceptmechanics, officials, and other fliers.3. An effective device will be used to extinguish any fuseon the model aircraft after the fuse has completed itsfunction.D. CONTROL LINE1. The complete control system (including the safetythong where applicable) must have an inspection andpull test prior to flying.2. The pull test will be in accordance with the currentCompetition Regulations for the applicable modelaircraft category.3. Model aircraft not fitting a specific category shall usethose pull-test requirements as indicated for ControlLine Precision Aerobatics.4. The flying area must be clear of all utility wires orpoles and a model aircraft will not be flown closerthan 50 feet to any above-ground electric utility lines.5. The flying area must be clear of all nonessentialparticipants and spectators before the engine isstarted.26 E-flite Hawker Sea Fury 480 ARF Assembly Manual
