Find a Flight Field
Based on the size and weight of the plane it is typically considered to be a "park flyer"
class airplane. As a result it is best to fly the plane at a local park, schoolyard, flying field
or other area that is large enough and free of people and obstructions. We recommend
and area the size of at least one football/soccer field. However, even larger areas are
better suited and preferred especially when learning how to fly. Do NOT fly in parking
lots, crowded neighborhood areas or in areas that are not free of people or obstructions.
NOTE: This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included in this instruction
manual. Althought it can be used as a quick start guide, we strongly suggest that read
all though the manual completely before proceeding.
- Always turn the transmitter on first.
- Ensure the throttle control stick is at bottom position before connecting the battery.
- Fly the model(hand-launch or take off from a flat/level surface).
- Land the model(on a flat/level surface).
- Unplug the battery from ESC.
- Always turn off the transmitter last.
Flight Checklist
Gyro System Calibration
1.Turn the throttle stick to min position.
2.Power on the transmitter and the receiver.
3.Do
NOT
unlock the throttle.
4.Keep the sticks as above picture for several seconds.
5.When you hear a “beep” sound, it means the gyro system is
calibrated based on the horizontal level you are keeping it.
We also suggest flying over grass as it
is a much more forgiving surface that
causes less damage in the unfortunate
event or a crash. Short grass is better
for takeoffs and landings as grass that is
too long can cause the airplane to nose-
over/flip and be damaged. An ideal flying
area allows for takeoffs and landings on
a smoother surface(such as asphalt) and
flying over grass.
