10. Preparations for the flight
1. The built-in speed controller has a start-up protection, which prevents the motor from starting accidentally as soon as the battery is connec-
ted and the throttle lever is not at zero.
As soon as the throttle is at zero, the speed controller will beep once for each battery cell connected (2S Lipo = 2 x beeps).
Caution: Always handle the propeller area with care when a battery is connected.
2. The motor and speed controller have already been connected at the factory and the direction of rotation should be correct. If, contrary to
expectations, the direction of rotation is not correct, it can be reversed by swapping two motor cable connections.
3. The speed controller has an optional brake function, the default setting is no brake and we recommend leaving this setting as it is. To ch-
ange this function, set the throttle of the controller to full throttle and then connect the battery. After the beep, set the throttle to zero and
disconnect the battery. Now, in this zero position of the throttle lever, connect the battery again - the brake is now activated and the motor is
ready to start. To deactivate the brake function, carry out the whole process again.
4. Battery selection and installation: We recommend a 7.4V 2S 1300mAh from 15C LiPo battery. If you want to use other LiPo sizes, please note
that they do not have more than 2S or 7.4V nominal voltage. Also, the centre of gravity may not be as easy to adjust with heavier batteries.

10.2 Transmitter and model settings
1.
Switch off the transmitter, connect the signal line of the controller to the third channel of the receiver and then also connect the
battery to the controller.
2.
The orange status light flashes slowly when the receiver is switched on.
3.
Press the binding switch with a small pointed object - the orange status light will then flash quickly.
4.
Return the throttle to the lowest position and switch on the transmitter. As soon as the transmitter and receiver are paired, the
status light on the receiver lights up continuously.
5.
Switch off the entire system, connect all servos according to the flight manual.
Make sure that the polarity of each connector is correct.
6.
Move each control stick and check that the servos respond in the correct direction.
7.
Repeat the previous steps if the system does not work.
*Note: The M. Bus channel is connected to the flight controller via a servo harness.
To make the following adjustments, we recommend that you do not mount the propeller, as there is a risk of injury if the motor starts
up unintentionally!
Tip:
All control levers and trimmers on the transmitter should be in neutral position, the throttle should be at zero. Both ailerons should move
up and down equally.
1. Now check the correct rudder deflection direction using the following diagram.
You can reverse the respective deflection direction using the reverse switches on the transmitter.
