Before flying the model
Flying course
Monitor your flight time
Always turn your transmitter on rst. 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 otherwise, the propeller/fan will engage and possi-
bly cause bodily harm.
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.
Monitor and limit your ight 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 briey restored after the motor cuts o by holding the throttle stick all the way down for a few
seconds.To avoid an unexpected dead-stick landing on your rst ight,set your timer to a conservative 4 minutes. When your alarm sounds you
should land right away.
Take off
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 takeo 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 takeo-climb may result in an aerodynamic stall.
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for ying your plane. It is ideal for you to y at a sanctioned ying eld. If you are not ying at an approved site
always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ying in areas where there are many people, such
as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer elds. Consult laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to y your aircraft. After takeo, gain some altitude. Climb to a safe height before trying technical mano-
euvres.
Landing
Land the aircraft when you start to feel sluggish motor response. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you have enough ight time
to make several landing approaches.The model’s three point landing gear allows the model to land on hard surfaces. Align model directly into
the wind and y down to the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using 1/4-1/3 throttle to keep enough energy for proper are. Before
the model touches down, always fully
decrease the throttle to avoid damaging the propeller or other components. The key to a great landing is to manage the power and elevator all
the way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear. With some practice, you will be able to set the aircraft gently on its main
gear and hold it that way until the speed reduces enough where the nose wheel (tricycle landing gear aircraft) or tail wheel (tail draggers) settles
onto the ground.
Maintenance
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives such as hot glue, foam safe CA, and 5min epoxy. When parts are not repairable, see
the spare parts lst for ordering by item number.Always check to make sure all screws on the aircraft are tightened. Pay special attention to make
sure the spinner is rmly in place before every ight.
