Flying Tips and Repairs
(Continued)
WARNING:
Always
decrease throttle
before aircraft strike.
Post Flight
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The
ESC protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC).
Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the
motor. Power to the motor pulses, showing that some battery power is reserved for
fl ight control and safe landing.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage.
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC
does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.
NOTICE:
Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Tip
: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after fl ying by using a Li-Po
Cell Voltage Checker (DYNF0002, sold separately).
Repairs
Thanks to the Z-Foam
™
material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be made
using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts are not
repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number .
NOTICE:
Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle
the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.
Landing
For your fi rst fl ights with the recommended battery pack (KXSB0016), set your
transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 3 minutes. After three minutes, land the aircraft.
Adjust your timer for longer or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the model.
If at any time the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately to recharge
the fl ight battery.
See the Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) section for more details on
maximizing battery health and run time.
Land the aircraft into the wind in a soft area, such as tall grass. Use a small amount
of throttle for the initial approach. Once the aircraft is on a proper approach angle and
the aircraft will land in the proper area, remove all throttle but maintain the descent.
During approach and landing, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the
wind. As you approach 2-3 feet in altitude, begin your fl are. Continue easing back on
the elevator to bring the aircraft down gently on the belly.
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:
After any impact, always ensure the receiver is
secure in the fuselage. If you replace the receiver, install
the new receiver in the same orientation as the original
receiver or damage may result.
NOTICE:
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE:
When you are fi nished fl ying, never leave the
aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such
as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.
1
Disconnect the fl ight battery from the ESC (Required for Safety and battery life).
2
Power OFF the transmitter.
3
Remove the fl ight battery from the aircraft.
4
Recharge the fl ight battery.
5
Repair or replace all damaged parts.
6
Store the fl ight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
7
Make note of the fl ight conditions and fl ight plan results, planning for future fl ights.
