Make sure that you use thread lock on the motor mounting bolts so they don’t vibrate loose.
The Velcro strip is to stop your battery sliding during flight - you will need to attach Velcro strips to these as
well (some are included in the kit). There is also a yellow double sided Velcro strap - this is to loop around the
battery and through the slots in the battery tray to make sure the battery does not fall out during extreme
manoeuvres!
Make sure the motor turns in the correct direction once you have fitted it. If it doesn’t, swap two of
the connections from the speed controller. The top hatch is retained by hooks at the front, and a small,
countersunk screw at the rear. The receiver and speed controller should be fixed in place with double
sided tape.

Make sure that all control surfaces are straight before
setting the control throws.
For initial test flights use the “Low Rates” throws to keep
the handling docile.
As you get comfortable with
Fugly
increase the rates
to taste. We recommend that you do not exceed the
maximum throws listed in the table as these make
Fugly
exceeding agile.
