Important ESC and model information

The ESC included with the model has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the

throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to

the low throttle or off position. Once the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will

emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune means the ESC has detected the cells of the

battery. The count of the beeps equals the cells of the battery. The motor is now armed and will start when

the throttle is moved.

The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct. If for any reason the

motor is rotating in the wrong direction, simply reverse two of the three motor wires to change the direction

of rotation.

The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with brake switched off and we recommend that

the model be flown with the brake off. However, the brake could be accidentally switched on if the motor

battery is connected to the ESC while the throttle stick is set at full throttle. To switch the brake off, move the

throttle stick to full throttle and plug in the motor battery. The motor will beep one time. Move the throttle stick

to low throttle or the off position. The motor is ready to run and the brake will be switched off.

Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 22.2V 4000mAh 35C Li-Po battery. If using another

battery, the battery must be at least a 22.2V 4000mAh 35C battery. Your battery should be approximately the

same capacity, dimension and weight as the 22.2V 4000mAh 35C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without

changing the center of gravity significantly.

The transmitter and model setup

Before getting started, bind your receiver with your transmitter. Please refer to your Transmitter Manual for

proper operation

CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, DO NOT arm the ESC and do not turn on the transmitter until the

Transmitter Manual instructs you to do so.

Tips: Make sure all control sticks on your radio are in the neutral position (rudder, elevator, ailerons) and the

throttle is in the OFF position. Make sure both ailerons move up and down (travel) the same amount. This

model tracks well when the left and right ailerons travel the same amount in response to the control stick. 1.

Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surface moves correctly. See

diagrams below.
