User Manual

A radio range check should be performed prior to the first flight of the day. This test may assist you in detecting electronic
problems that may lead to a loss of control- problems such as low transmitter batteries, defective or damaged radio com-
ponents or radio interference. This usually requires an assistant and should be done at the flying site.

Before flying the model
Find a suitable flying site
Performing a range check
Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be required
and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields
- a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best. Never fly near people - especially children, who can wander unpredictably.
Flight tips
Always turn your transmitter on first. Install a fully charged battery in the battery bay, then connect it to the ESC. In this
process, make sure that the throttle cut functionality is on, and that the throttle stick is secured in its lowest position- other-
wise, the propeller/fan will engage and possibly cause bodily harm.
Monitor your flight time
Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as a stopwatch or on the transmitter, if available). As modern Lithium
Polymer batteries are not designed to discharge completely, when the battery runs low, the ESC will lower then completely
cut the power to the motors to protect the battery.Often (but not always) power can be briefly restored after the motor cuts
off by holding the throttle stick all the way down for a few seconds.To avoid an unexpected dead-stick landing on your first
flight,set your timer to a conservative 4 minutes. When your alarm sounds you should land right away.
Note: Please refer to your transmitter manual that came with your radio control system to perform a ground
range check. If the controls are not working correctly or if anything seems wrong, do not fly the model until you
correct the problem. Make certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the receiver and the transmitter
batteries have a good connection.
Take off
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are
not flying at an approved site always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to
avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. Consult laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. After takeoff, gain some altitude. Climb to a safe height before
trying technical manoeuvres.
Flying
Point the aircraft into the wind while slowly applying power until the aircraft starts to track straight, use the rudder when
necessary. When the aircraft reaches takeoff speed, ease back on the elevator stick until the aircraft is climbing at a
constant rate without decelerating. Climbing at too steep of an angle at the relatively low speeds of a takeoff-climb may
result in an aerodynamic stall.
