After assembly and prior to your first flight, make sure all control surfaces respond correctly to
your transmitter by referring to the diagram below.
Transmitter and model setup
Tips: The maiden flight should always be
flown using low rates, fly the aircraft until
you are familiar with its characteristics prior
to trying high rates. Make sure the aircraft is
flying at a decent altitude and speed prior
to using high rates, as the aircraft will be
sensitive to control inputs with the larger
control surface movements.
The suggested control throw setting for the 50mm Bae Hawk are as follows (dual rate setting):
High Rate Low Rate
Elevator 10mm up / down 8mm up / down
Aileron 10mm up / down 8mm up / down

Preflight check
Important ESC and model information:
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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 thrott-
le 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.
4. Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 11.1V 1300mAh 30C Li-Po battery. If
using another battery, the battery must be at least a 11.1V 1300mAh 30C battery. Your
battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimension and weight as the 11.1V
1300mAh 30C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without changing the center of gravity
significantly.
