EXTRA 300S Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION.

Thank you for choosing theEXTRA 300S ARTF by SEAGULL MODELS. The EXTRA 300S was
designed with the intermediate/advanced sport flyer in mind. It is a scale airplane which is easy to
fly and quick to assemble. The airframe is conventionally built using balsa, plywood to make it
stronger than the average ARTF , yet the design allows the aeroplane to be kept light. You will find
that most of the work has been done for you already. The motor mount has been fitted and the hinges
are pre-installed . Flying the EXTRA 300S is simply a joy.
This instruction manual is designed to help you build a great flying aeroplane. Please read this
manual thoroughly before starting assembly of your EXTRA 300S. Use the parts listing below to
identify all parts.

WARNING.

Please be aware that this aeroplane is not a toy and if assembled or used incorrectly it
is capable of causing injury to people or property. WHEN YOU FLY THIS AEROPLANE YOU
ASSUME ALL RISK & RESPONSIBILITY.
If you are inexperienced with basic R/C flight we strongly recommend you contact your R/C
supplier and join your local R/C Model Flying Club. R/C Model Flying Clubs offer a variety of training
procedures designed to help the new pilot on his way to successful R/C flight. They will also be able
to advise on any insurance and safety regulations that may apply.
