We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm condi-
tions. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and
buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in
areas where there are many people, such as busy parks,
schoolyards or soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordi-
nances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the
wind if flying outdoors). Set dual rates to low position and
gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full and steer with
the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to
check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the
flight envelope of the aircraft.
Landing
Land into the wind. This is very important for this model.
Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or less
above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for
the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft
is ready to flare. During flare, keep
the wings level and the airplane
pointed into the wind. Gently lower
the throttle while pulling back on the
elevator to bring the aircraft down on
all three wheels.
Failure to lower the throttle stick and
trim to the lowest possible positions
during a crash could result in dam-
age to the ESC in the receiver unit,
which may require replacement.
This aircraft is equipped with Over Current Protection
(OCP). This feature protects the ESC from overheating.
OCP stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set
too high, and the propeller cannot turn. The OCP will only
activate when the throttle stick is positioned just above
1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the
throttle to re-arm the ESC.
NOTICE:
Crash damage is not covered under the war-
ranty.
Repairs
Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacry-
late adhesive) or clear tape.
Only use foam-compatible
CA
, as other types of glue can damage the foam. When
parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for
ordering by item number.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to
the list at the end of this manual.
NOTICE:
Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your
aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft
until the accelerant fully dries.
NOTICE:
When you are finished flying, never leave the
aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such
as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
Post Flight Checklist
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC
(Required for safety and battery life).
2. Power OFF the transmitter.
3. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
4. Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft.
5. Make note of the flight conditions and flight
plan results, planning for future flights.
Flying Tips and Repairs
Always
decrease throttle at
propeller strike.
CAUTION
Control Horn Settings
The illustration shows the factory settings for the control
horns. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making
changes.
CAUTION:
When these are incorrectly
connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected
aircraft response to controls can result. This can cause
damage to the aircraft and personal injury.
