Selecting a Flying Site

Always choose a wide-open space for flying your ParkZone Ember 2.  
It is ideal for you to fly in an indoor location with a floor area of 40’x40’ 
and a minimum ceiling height of 20 feet.  We suggest that first flights are 
done in a larger area, such as a basketball court or gymnasium.

If you choose to make your flights outdoors, the conditions MUST be 
COMPLETELY CALM.  The Ember 2 weighs less than 1 ounce and can 
easily be blown away.  If you choose to fly outdoors, remember to always 
keep the plane upwind from you to avoid flyaways.

Make certain that you do not fly near trees, buildings or other areas that 
can restrict your view or interfere with your flying.

Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio Control Pilot

VERY IMPORTANT

The 3-channel control system is designed for the experienced radio 
control pilot and is not intended for the first time flier.  It is best to  
have HobbyZone Zone 2 experience.  First-time pilots of the ParkZone 
Ember 2 should seek the assistance of an experienced RC pilot.  Crash 
damage is not covered under the warranty.  

1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Plug in the aircraft battery.

4. Test the motor and surface controls.

5.  While holding the transmitter in one hand, push the throttle stick to 

full throttle (up) with your thumb.

6.  Launch using light force.  Keep the wings level.  Do not throw it up 

or down.  Point it level (parallel) with the ground when releasing.

Step 4 – Flying your Ember 2

Step 5 – Hand Launching the Ember 2
