Altitude is your friend!
1. Let the aircraft climb until it reaches 100 feet.
2. Explore the fl ight characteristics of your aircraft.
Make small, gentle control stick movements to learn
how your aircraft responds.
After Flight...
• Immediately remove the fl ight battery from
the aircraft.
• Power off the transmitter.
• Inspect aircraft for damage.
• Make notes from fl ight experience and plan
for future fl ights.
1. Power ON the transmitter.
2. Fully lower throttle stick and trim.
3. Install and connect fl ight battery to
aircraft, then the ailerons will go up.
4. Set the aircraft on the ground on its
landing gear in the center of the fl ying
area. The ailerons will return to center to
indicate the transmitter is connected.
5. Keep aircraft immobile on landing gear
for up to 90 seconds to allow the aircraft
to establish GPS lock. Audible tones will
indicate the aircraft is ready to fl y, and
only then will control be passed to the
transmitter.
Press and release again
to abort landing.

®
technology will return the aircraft to stable
fl ight (wings level).
Place the aircraft in the center of the fl ying area facing into to
the wind. Secure the aircraft to keep it from taking off. Advance
the throttle to 100% then lower it to 0% to set the landing
direction (heading) for the AutoLand function.

Virtual Fence
If you approach the 450ft (137m) boundary of the Virtal Fence, the aircraft will
automatically take control, turn around and come back to you. It will then wag
its wings and give control back to the transmitter.
Holding Pattern
If at anytime the aircraft seems too far away, a quick press and release of the
Red (HP/AL) button on the transmitter will return the aircraft back to you. It will
then begin to fl y a circular pattern at an altitude of approximately 65 ft (20m)
over the takeoff location. When the aircraft is in HP, it fl ies fully autonomously.
The transmitter sticks have no control.To return to normal fl ight, press and
release the HP/AL button again or change the fl ight mode.
Land your aircraft into the wind.
