Range Checking Your Radio System
After you have finished the assembly, it is time to range
check
the radio system within the Typhoon
™
3D PNP
™
.
Prior to each flying session:
• Make sure that no one around may be flying, or
is
getting prepared to fly, on the same channel
that
you are on. After this is confirmed, turn on
transmitter with antenna down. Next, turn on
receiver (switch on the plane). With airplane on the
ground and motor running, you should walk away
app
roximately 100 feet and still have full control of
all
functions. If this is not the case, do not fly! Call
Product Support at 1-877-504-0233.
• Always make sure that all controls are functioning
per
the transmitter input that you are giving. This
includes aile
rons, rudder, elevator, and throttle.
• Always make sure that you have fully-charged
Tx
batteries.
Always
remove the flight battery from the airplane
when
you are done flying, or when you are on the
way
to the flying field. The switch on the fuselage
is
for short-term use only (when you are at the field).
Leaving
the battery plugged in the airplane for an
extended
time could cause permanent damage to your
battery
(especially if you are using a Li-Po battery).
Flying
approved site, always avoid flying near houses, trees,
wi
res, and buildings. You should also be careful to
avoid
flying in areas where there are many people,
such
as busy parks or school yards. Always follow
local
ordinances. We recommend only flying your
Typhoon in light winds.
Prior to each flight:
• Always make sure that your Typhoon 3D PNP is properly
trimmed.
From time to time, it may be necessary to
re-trim your airplane. Simply turn on the radio system,
with the flight battery plugged into the battery port
and
check all control surfaces. Most trim changes
should be able to be made using the trim levers on
the transmitter. Greater changes will need to be made
by removing the clevis from the control horn and
turning in on the pushrod in the appropriate direction.
• Always make sure the receiver, ESC, and battery
are properly secured.
• Always verify the propeller is on securely.
• Always ensure the servo reversing switches on the
Tx
are set correctly.
• Always verify the dual rates switch is set at the level
whe
re you plan on flying. We recommend LOW
rates
for your initial flights. The Typhoon 3D PNP is
VE
RY maneuverable on high rates and requires a lot
of experience to handle properly.

Step 9
Always choose a wide-open space to fly your ParkZone
Typhoon 3D PNP. It is ideal for you to fly at an AMA
sanctioned
flying field. If you are not flying at an AMA
