Flyzone FLZA3604 - Manual (Page 2)

2
INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Flyzone Millennium Master.
The full-size Millennium has a wingspan of 26'-1" making
this model 1:7.6-scale (or 13%). We absolutely fell in love
with the Millennium the moment the fi rst prototype left the
ground! Its sleek lines, steady ground handling, neutral feel
and “racy” speed make it an absolute necessity for any pilot
who understands that pure, real, R/C entertainment doesn’t
have to come from imposing, complex airplanes.
NOTE: This instruction manual applies to both the Rx-R ™
(receiver-ready) version and the Tx-R ™ (transmitter-ready)
version of the Millennium Master. If assembling the Tx-R
version simply skip steps that do not apply.
For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
Millennium, visit the Hobbico web site at www.hobbico.com.
Open the “Airplanes” link, then select the Millennium ARF. If
there is new technical information or changes to this model a
“tech notice” box will appear in the upper left corner of the page.

IMPORTANT!!! Two of the most important things you can
do to preserve the radio controlled aircraft hobby are to avoid
fl ying near full-scale aircraft and avoid fl ying near or over
groups of people.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Protect Your Model, Yourself & Others…
Follow These Important Safety Precautions
1. Your Millennium should not be considered a toy, but rather
a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like
a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities,
the Millennium, if not assembled and operated correctly, could
possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage
to property.
2. You must assemble the Millennium according to the
instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing
so may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a few
cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos.
In those instances the written instructions should be
considered as correct.
3. You must use an R/C radio system that is in good condition.
All components must be correctly installed so that the model
operates correctly on the ground and in the air. You must
check the operation of the model and all components before
every fl ight.
4. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not fl own this type
of model before, we recommend that you get the assistance
of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your fi rst fl ights.
If you’re not a member of a club, your local hobby shop has
information about clubs in your area whose membership
includes experienced pilots.
5. While this kit has been fl ight tested to exceed normal
use, if the plane will be used for extremely high stress fl ying,
such as racing, or if a motor or battery larger than ones in
the recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible
for taking steps to reinforce the high stress points and/or
substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.
