Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC is a function built into your ESC to protect the battery
from over-discharge. When the battery charge is low,
LVC limits power supplied to the motor. The aircraft will
begin to slow and you will hear the motor pulse. When the
motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and
recharge the ight battery.
NOTICE: Repeated ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft
after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po
battery to about half capacity before storage. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below
3V per cell.
Takeoff
Set the ight mode switch to Beginner Mode (position 0) for
your rst ights.
Set a ight timer for 6–8 minutes.
Ground Launch
Once you have established a home position and the aircraft
is ready for ight, slowly advance the throttle to start the
takeoff roll into the wind. Small rudder inputs may be
required for heading correction as the aircraft will begin a
slow climb out as the throttle is advanced.
Hand Launch
Once you have established a home position and the aircraft
is ready for ight, use the following steps.
1. Grip the aircraft under the fuselage, behind the wing
struts.
2. Slowly advance the throttle to 100%.
3. Throw the aircraft slightly nose up and directly into the
wind (less than 5–7 mph [8–11km/h]).
Slowly advance
the throttle stick.

Wind
When properly trimmed, the aircraft’s wing design causes a climb at full throttle
without the use of elevator.
50% throttleFull throttle Reduced throttle
In Flight
Let the aircraft climb at full throttle, into the wind, until the
aircraft gets about 300 feet (91m) above the ground, then
decrease the throttle to half (50%).
Make small and gentle stick movements to see how the
aircraft responds.
Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hard-
est things to do when learning to y. Practice ying in large
circles high off the ground.
If you lose orientation of the aircraft, release both sticks
and the aircraft will return to level ight. If in Intermediate
or Experienced Mode, switch to Beginner Mode and then
release both sticks.
