EN Charging Warnings The USB charger has been designed to safely charge the included Li-Po battery. • Always charge batteries away from flammable materials. • Always inspect the battery before charging. • Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between charges. • Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging. • ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES.
EN Installing the Flight Battery CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery from the aircraft when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential fire when batteries are charged. 1. Make sure the throttle is in the off position and turn on the transmitter. 2. Open the battery hatch on the bottom of the aircraft and plug in the flight battery. 3.
EN Flying Taking Off Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on flying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the model in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand. Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h) 1. Face into the wind and apply 1/2 (50%) throttle. 2. Hold the plane horizontal and launch straight and level into the wind. 3. The aircraft will climb under full throttle (100%). 4. Reduce to 50% throttle once the plane is at a safe altitude (50-75 feet) to level out.
EN Aircraft Trim Direction of Drift Right Stick Right Stick If the aircraft’s nose drifts left or right while the steering stick is at neutral (centered) press the steering trim buttons as shown in the chart to the right to correct the drift. The Ascent MTx can also be trimmed by carefully bending the control surfaces molded into the tail as shown below. Button to Correct Direction of Drift 1. Center the transmitter trims. 2.
EN Landing 1. Fly downwind and reduce the throttle to 25% to begin the descent. 2. Begin turning towards the runway, heading into the wind. 3. Reduce the throttle to 0% and glide onto the runway. • If you are going to land short of the runway, add a little throttle to extend the glide. • If you are going too fast to land, go around and try again. 1 CAUTION: Never catch a flying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.
