Read through this manual before starting construction. It contains important
instructions and warnings concerning the assembly and use of this model.
The eSKA Design
e
-SKA (electric Simple Kit Airplane - pronounced EeSKA) is an original kit
designed for modelers with an interest in electric powered airplanes capable
of park flying and sport aerobatics.eSKA was designed from the beginning for
a light-weight brushless motors and LiPoly cells.This airplane makes use of
strong,lightweight design and construction which improves electric powered
flight performance and duration.Using the suggested motor and cells,eSKA
will have unlimited vertical performance.eSKA was designed to fly a wide
range of aerobatics from very tight maneuvers to large,powerful loops,slow
rolls,snaps and big stall turns.eSKA's light weight and thin,semi-symmetrical,
progressive airfoil allows for a wide speed range.eSKA is controllable and flies
smoothly even in high winds,yet will slow down and land like a feather.eSKA
is a great flying electric powered model that flies predictably,not your typical
"flip-&-flop" park flyer.eSKA should not be flown by a beginner R/C pilot.
eSKA was designed to make motor battery changes as easy as possible,with no
tools required.You don't have to turn the airplane over or remove the wing to
change batteries.The recommended motor for eSKA is the Astro brushless .010
geared motor powered by 3S - 1200mAh LiPoly cells at 7 amps.This combina-
tion give spectacular performance and long flight times.eSKA is light yet tough
and its’pop-off battery hatch and sliding wing help reduce damage from less
than perfect landings.eSKA is a simple-to-build,fly-anywhere airplane that
is just plain fun to fly.This kit features leading edge design and interlocking
laser cut parts for exceptional fit,quality and ease of construction,however,
you should have some kit building experience or help from an experienced kit
builder when building this kit.The eSKA Plans were drawn with the aid of a
computer using professional design software.We believe that the eSKA Plans
are a work of art and set a new standard in kit manufacturing.
We would not be surprised,if eSKA is the most enjoyable building and flying
park flyer that you have owned.Your next favorite airplane kit…eSKA!

Follow these important safety precautions:
1.This kit should not be considered a toy,but rather a sophisticated,working
model that functions very much like a full-size airplane.Because of its perfor-
mance capabilities,it could cause injury to yourself and spectators or damage
to property,if it is not assembled and operated correctly.
2.You must assemble the model according to the instructions.Do not alter or
modify the model,as doing so may result in an unsafe or un-flyable model.
3.You must take time to build straight and strong.You should not use any
materials or kit supplied parts that you suspect are defective or damaged.
Request replacement kit parts from ElectroFlying,Inc.
4.You should only use R/C radio systems that are in perfect working order.
5.You must check the operation of the model before every flight to ensure
that all equipment is operating and that the model has remained structurally
sound.Replace any part that shows any sign of wear or fatigue.
6.Check control surface travel and direction before each flight.
7.Do a radio range check before the first flight or after any change to the
model's radio system.Never use a radio system that has been involved in a
crash without a professional check-out and repair if needed.
8.Do not over-power this kit.Use only recommended electric motors and cells.
9.If you are not already an experienced R/C pilot,you should fly the model
only with the help of a competent,experienced R/C pilot.
10.While this airplane kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use,the
airplane should not be used for high stress flying,such as racing.
We,as the kit manufacturer,provide you with a top quality kit and instructions,
but ultimately the quality and flyability of your finished model depends on how
you build it;therefore,we cannot in any way guarantee the performance of
your completed model,and no representations are expressed or implied as to
the performance or safety of your completed model.
