Warnings and Safety
1. Read and follow this manual and included
video completely, observing all instructions and
safety directions. Otherwise, serious injury and
damage can occur. Think safety first.
2. Keep propeller away from body parts, even
when it isn't spinning as it could be turned on
by accident. Beware of hair becoming entan-
gled in the propeller, especially while launching
the Aerobird Challenger
™
on a windy day or
injury may occur.
3. Do not fly when it's too windy or you may lose
control and crash, causing injury or damage.
Never fly the Aerobird Challenger near people,
vehicles, train tracks, buildings, power lines,
water, hard surfaces or trees. Never allow any
one to attempt to catch the Aerobird Challenger
while it's in flight or serious injury can result.
4. Adult supervision is recommended for ages
12 and under.
5. Battery Charging: Only use a battery charger
intended for use with the Aerobird Challenger
battery. Never leave charger unattended while
charging. This will help prevent overcharging.
While charging, place the battery on a heat-
resistant surface. Do not lay it on carpet or
upholstery while charging. Never charge the
battery with the included charger for more than
3 hours.
6. Never cut into the battery charger or airplane
wires or serious injury can occur. Causing the
battery to "short out" (crossing negative and
positive bare wires) can cause fire, serious
injury and damage.
7. Hold the plane securely, and keep all body
parts away from the propeller when the flight
battery is plugged in. When you finish flying
the Aerobird Challenger, always unplug the
battery before you turn off the transmitter.
8. Never fly on the same frequency as another
RC vehicle in your area. The frequency of the
Aerobird Challenger is shown on stickers on
the back of the transmitter.
1. If you happen to crash and part of the foam
wing or tail breaks, it can be repaired using
packing tape to cover missing pieces.
2. If damage is severe or if wing or tail is bent,
replace damaged parts immediately. See
page 39 for a complete replacement parts list.
IMPORTANT: Control Alignment
Tail flaps must be level or nearly level with no
slack in the control lines or the plane will not
fly well. See pages 10–12 if adjustment
is necessary.
