J. Perkins Nano Stik, Instruction Manual

Page: 3 / 12

Introduction
Weighing in at only 9 grams ready to fly – about 1/4 the weight of typical ultra-micro class models – the
Nano Stik is a great choice when looking for a lightweight aeroplane to fly indoors in more places than
ever before. The nano-micro size and weight allows for slow and easy flying even in smaller indoors
spaces from a great room at home to a conference room at the office. Plus, the proportional throttle and
rudder controls make it easy for almost anyone to fly while offering plenty of maneuverability and control
for experienced pilots too.
The Nano Stik’s classic stick-style design is available in two popular WWI-era trim schemes so you can
fly in squadrons or simulate dogfights with friends. And the durable, lightweight construction means you
don’t always have to worry about damage after less than perfect missions or landings. Best of all, the
airframe is 100% factory-assembled and ready-to-fly right out of the box – no tools required!
Also in the box is everything needed to fly including AA batteries for the 3-channel transmitter equipped
with 2.4GHz technology, digital trims and a built-in LiPo battery charger. The included 30mAh 1S 3.7V
LiPo battery delivers plenty of power and long flight times per charge. That means there’s nothing extra
to buy and you can be ready to fly within minutes of opening the box.
And although the Nano Stik is ready-to-fly right out the box, please take the time to read through this
manual for more information about battery safety and charging, control checks and more before making
your first flight. Please also visit our web site at www.jperkinsdistribution.co.uk for additional information

Safety Precautions and Warnings
Failure to use this product in the intended manner as described in the following instructions can result in
damage and/or personal injury. An RC airplane is not a toy! If misused it can cause serious bodily harm
and damage to property.
Keep items that could become entangled in the propeller blades away from the propeller, including loose
clothing, tools, etc. Be especially sure to keep your hands, face and other parts of your body away from
the propeller blades.
As the user of this product you are solely and wholly responsible for operating it in a manner that does
not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.
This model is controlled by a radio signal that is subject to possible interference from a variety of sources
outside your control. This interference can cause momentary loss of control so it is advisable to always
keep a safe distance from objects and people in all directions around your model as this will help to avoid
collisions and/or injury.
• Never operate your model if the voltage of the batteries in the transmitter is too low.
• Always operate your model in an open area away from obstacles, people, vehicles, buildings, etc.
• Carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any optional support equipment (chargers,
rechargeable batteries, etc.).
• Keep all chemicals, small parts and all electronic components out of the reach of children.
• Moisture causes damage to electronic components. Avoid water exposure to all electronic components,
parts, etc. not specifically designed and protected for use in water.
• Never lick or place any portion of your model in your mouth as it could cause serious injury or even
death.
2.4GHz Technology
The model operates on the 2.4GHz radio band using the latest 2.4GHz technology, thereby providing
probably the best interference rejection of any R/C system available today. This technology eliminates
pilot frequency worries as the radio encodes it’s own unique frequency data at startup in a manner
similar to a bluetooth device.
In the UK, we recommend you observe the model flying safety code of the British Model Flying
Association which can be found at the following address:
