BEFORE TAKE OFF
1: OPERATE YOUR AIRCRAFT SAFELY
Refer to and follow all safety precautions mentioned in the eneral Instructions and uidelines for use section of this manual.
Ensure that you always turn on your transmitter before connecting the aircraft battery power. After flying, make sure that you always disconnect the
aircraft battery before turning off the transmitter.
On the transmitter, ensure switches are to neutral position and the throttle control is at the lowest position.
Check that your aircraft is ready for flight with no loose screws or fi ngs (pay special attention to the propellers) insert a battery into the battery bay
and use the provided strap to secure the battery in place.
Connect the battery cable to the connector on the aircraft.
(Important make sure you keep the aircraft level and still while connecting the battery)
ait for the LED lamp (located on the underneath of the aircraft) to flash green rapidly it should do this twice (without a short interval between each
set of flashes).
You should wait until the LED is only flashing reen without any Red flashes this indicates that you have su cient Satellites located for safe PS
mode flying. Beginners are strongly recommended to fly in PS mode and become fully confident and capable with the aircraft before flying in ATTI or
Manual modes
3: FLIGHT TEST YOUR ANAKIN
Fly minutes in hover and then land your aircraft.
Disconnect the battery and check the temperature of the motors and tubes they may be warm, but must not be hot. Recharge the battery and check
the capacity (mAh) that your charger puts back into the battery. This mAh value will cor- respond to the power consumption of your Anakin during the
minute flight.
4: CALCULATING YOUR IDEAL FLIGHT TIME
If for example you use a
mAh battery and after minutes of racing, you put it on charge and
mAh of power is put back into the battery.
To translate this into your ideal flight time, you need to divide the capacity of the battery (
mAh) by recharged mAh amount (
mAh) and multi-
ply the result by the duration of your flight in minutes ( min).
Example
. x min 1 min 3 . This is your approximate maximum flight time.
For safety reasons, we would advise that you do not fly beyond more than
of the maximum flight time.
In our example, if you fly for about 1 minutes, you should have enough power to return and land without risking damage to your battery.
If your transmitter has a countdown or a timer function, it is advisable to use it indy conditions and cold temperatures can adversely affect your max
flight time.
Note You need to calculate the flight time individually for each type specification of battery that you have.
