Also, it is not recommended that you fly to the soft LVC every time you fly. Instead you should be aware of the
power level of the battery / airplane throughout the flight, and if at any time the airplane begins to require more
throttle/ power than typical to maintain cruise or climb you should land the airplane and disconnect the LiPo
battery immediately . Constantly discharging the battery to the soft LVC can still cause permanent damage to
the battery so it’s best to use a timer or stop -watch to time the duration of your flights and to stop flying at a
reasonable time before the soft LVC is reached.

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT LEAVE THE LIPO BATTERY CONNECTED TO THE ESC UNLESS YOU ARE READY
TO FLY. IF THE BATTERY IS LEFT CON- NECTED TO THE ESC WHEN IT IS NOT IN USE THE LIPO BATTERY WILL
BE OVER-DISCHARGED BY THE SMALL AMOUNT OF CURRENT THE ESC CONSUMES.

It can sometimes take a few hours or even up to a few days to over- discharge the battery this way but doing
so will likely cause permanent damage to or failure of the battery entirely (which is not covered under
warranty).

IMPORTANT NOTE: DO NOT STORE THE LIPO FLIGHT BATTERY FULLY CHARGED.

For improved safety

and longevity of the LiPo battery it’s best to store it only partially charged for any length of time. Storing the
LiPo battery at approximately 50% charged (which is approximately 3.85V per cell) is typically best, however it
will take some careful management of the charge time and the use of a voltmeter to achieve this voltage.

If you have the equipment and skills to achieve the 50% charge level for storage it is recommended. If not,
simply be sure to not store the battery fully charged whenever possible. In fact ,as long as the battery will be
stored at approximately room temperature and for no more than a few weeks before the next use, it may be
best to store the battery in the discharged state after the last flight (as long as the battery was not over-
discharged on the last flight).

Flight Checklist

PLEASE NOTE: This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included in this instruction
manual. Although it can be used as a quick start guide, we strongly suggest reading through this
manual completely before proceeding.

• Always turn the transmitter on first

• Ensure the throttle control stick is on the button position then plug the battery.

• Fly the model (hand

launch or takeoff from a flat/level surface)

• Land the model (land on a flat/level surface)

• Unplug the LiPo flight battery from the ESC

• Always turn the transmitter off last

Check The Control Surface And Channel Condition

Mode 1 and Mode 2:

Depending on which area you are in, you will either use a Mode1 or Mode 2 transmitter.

The difference between the two modes deals with the throttle and Elevator joystick different. Mode 2
transmitters have the throttle control on the left stick and the Elevator controls on the right stick. Mode 1 is in
the opposite way.
