Propeller: Put the propeller on the motor bed and secure with cone. Choose a propeller suitable for other
components as well and, at the same time, its dimensions have to match the size of the backpack.

Setting up the pilot´s body (servos)
Servos: Put the standard servos into the prepared holes and tighten with four screws. We recommend
selecting servos that will have a minimum pull of 10 kg.

Complete commissioning (battery, receiver)
For complete flying with the RC paramotor, a battery and receiver are also needed.
Battery Li-Po: The battery compartment is located at the bottom of the pilot's body where is the box of
140 x 50 x 30 mm.
Receiver: Three channels on the receiver (2x hands, 1x motor with controller) are enough to get the RC
paramotor up and running.

SETTING UP BEFORE THE FLIGHT

Electronics connection and motor commissioning
Connect the connectors from the servo to the receiver to channels 1 and 4. Connect the connector from
the controller to channel 3. Put the charged battery into the prepared box in the pilot's body. Now the
electronics is connected.
Next, you will test whether the motor is rotating in the right direction. Take the transmitter, put the lever in
the zero position and turn the transmitter on. Then connect the connectors from the regulator and the
battery (always be careful not to connect the battery incorrectly - it may cause a battery short-circuit and
an explosion!!). After the connection, the controller should give us a "beep". Now gently add gas to see if
the motor and propeller rotate in the right direction. If so, you have everything connected properly. If not,
disconnect the battery and switch the two connectors between the controller and the motor. Reconnect
the battery and try again with a slight addition of gas. Now the motor is tested and ready for the first flight.

Pilot´s hands adjustment, control types
First, let's attach the arm levers to the servos. Turn on the battery to bring the servos into neutral position,
pass the prepared pilot's hand through the jacket's sleeve and attach the hand to the servo in the position
shown in the following picture (so-called neutral hand position). Do the same on the other side. Secure
both sides on the servos with screws and tighten them.
