SAFETY PROCEDURES BEFORE FLIGHT
Before each flight check your transmitter and flight pack battery for proper charge
levels to make sure you attain maximum flight time and safety.
Always switch on your transmitter first and move the right hand throttle stick to the
low throttle position to avoid accidentally starting the motor. Then only connect the
plane battery to the aircraft when you are going to fly. Match the red and black wires
up correctly. When you have finished the flight, unplug the LiPo flight battery before
turning off the transmitter. If the plane battery is connected without the transmitter
being on, it can pick up signals from other radio transmitters and cause your plane to respond
unintentionally, controls will start to move as well as the motor revving up! This is not a malfunction of the
system, but a standard behaviour for all radio controlled models.
Before turning on your transmitter, make sure no other people are flying other aircraft on the same frequency
you are using. This will cause interference and result in crashing the other pilot’s aircraft. The frequency of
your model may be determined by looking at the small orange label attached to the module in the back of the
transmitter. It will show a number, this the frequency of your radio in Mhz. make sure you do not operate the
model when another model of any type, or R/C car is on this frequency.
After switching on your transmitter and plane check the positions of the control surfaces on your plane.
Initially they all should be in a neutral position. Adjust to the correct position when needed by turning the
“quick link” connectors attached to the push rods which operate the control surfaces.
Check if the controls are moving in the correct direction for the directions the sticks are moved. Do this for
ALL control surfaces! See transmitter setup below.
Avoid flying in bad weather conditions. Since you are flying a relatively light aircraft, it is not recommended to
fly in high winds as the plane can travel downwind very quickly and become very difficult to retrieve!
Always keep the aircraft within visual range. It is very important that you can see which direction the plane is
going. Also keep the plane away from people and objects.
If you notice that the plane is starting to loose power then it is suggested you land and recharge the LiPo
pack. If you continue flying and the power is suddenly lost, it will be hard to control and land the plane in a
