The aircraft can fly for approximately 6 or more minutes
on one battery charge. This flight time is based on the
recommended flying style shown in this manual.
If the motor begins to pulse, the battery is getting low and
you must land immediately.
1. Start your landing procedure by switching the filght
mode switch to Beginner Mode.
2. Decrease the throttle and bring the aircraft’s nose into
the wind. Do not be afraid to fully reduce the throttle
and let the aircraft glide unpowered.
3. While gliding into the wind, little or no elevator, aileron
and rudder should be required. If you think the aircraft will
land short of your target area, gently add a small amount
of throttle.
4. Once the aircraft is 1 meter (3–4 feet) above ground,
slowly pull back the elevator stick. At this speed, this
should result in a “flare”, causing the nose to rise
without increasing altitude. The aircraft will lose speed
so that the main gear lands first before the nose gear
touches down.
5. Allow the aircraft to come to a stop.
CAUTION:
Never catch a flying aircraft in your
hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and
damage to the aircraft.
NOTICE:
If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and
trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage
to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and
motor.
NOTICE:
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Flying
Let the aircraft climb at full throttle, into the wind, until the aircraft gets about
200 feet (61meters) above the ground, then decrease the throttle to half (50%).
Try to make only small and gentle movements of the control sticks so you can
see how the aircraft responds. Your aircraft is designed to climb and turn well.
Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do
when learning to fly.
To practice piloting the aircraft with the nose pointed toward you, try flying in
large circles high off the ground.
