CHANGING PROPELLERS ON YOUR SKYWINDER™
In case of propeller damage, please use the steps below to replace the damaged propeller:
1. With one hand, grab hold of the PROPELLER.
2. While holding the PROPELLER in place, use your opposite hand to unscrew the removeable
PROPELLER TIP with the PROPELLER REPLACEMENT TOOL.
3. After removing the PROPELLER TIP, pull the damaged PROPELLER from the shaft and
replace with a new propeller.
4. While holding the propeller in place, replace the PROPELLER TIP by screwing it back
onto the shaft of the PROPELLER with the PROPELLER REPLACEMENT TOOL.
CAUTION: The damaged propeller may have sharp edges, use caution when handling
the damaged PROPELLER, and dispose of it properly.

TM
”
section on Page 2.
Plane will not
loop.
1. Not enough charge.
1. Repeat the charging process. Refer to the “Charging your SkyWinder

section on Page 2.
2. STUNT FLAP is not
in the correct position.
2. Adjust STUNT FLAP so that it is level with the HORIZONTAL TAIL WING.
3. Winds are too strong.
3. Fly in conditions with little or no wind for best performance.
4. Improper technique.
5. Rudder Alignment
is OFF.
4 A.
LOOPING TAKES TIME AND PRACTICE! Pilots should master
directional control on their TRAINER first. Once pilots are comfortable with
their technique, they should then practice flying outdoors.
B. ENSURE: (1) the minimum altitude is reached before attempting to loop and
(2) the step-by-step toggle directions are followed (See Pages 5 and 6).
2. Plane misaligned
OR damaged from
previous flights.
2.
Wings:
• Use clear tape to repair wings.
• Ensure that the HORIZONTAL TAIL WING is parallel to the MAIN WING.
• Ensure that the VERTICAL TAIL WING is 90° with the MAIN WING.
Propellers:
• Ensure that both PROPELLERS can spin freely.
Plane:
• Ensure plane responds to control functions by turning the plane “ON”
while holding it in your hand.
Plane not
responding to
controller
OR
plane responds
to some other
signal.
1. Interference
from other radio
transmission
signals in the area.
1. Turn the plane “ON” and hold it in your hand.
If the plane responds
without you touching the controller, there is interference. DO NOT
FLY. You SHOULD NOT fly the plane if it does not respond to your
controller, or if it responds to something other than your controller.
If the problem persists, it is recommended that you fly your plane
in another area.
