SAFETY WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS
Protect yourself and others by following these basic safety guidelines.
1.
This manual contains instructions for safety, operation and maintenance. It is essential to read and follow all the instructions and warnings in
the manual, prior to assembly, setup or use, in order to operate correctly and avoid damage or serious injury.
2.
This model is not a toy, rather it is a sophisticated hobby product and must be operated with caution and common sense. This product
requires some basic mechanical ability. Failure to operate this product in a safe and responsible manner could result in injury or damage to
the product or other property.
3.
This model must be assembled according to these instructions. Do not alter or modify the model outside of these instructions provided by
Flex Innovations, LLC, as doing so may render it unsafe and/or un-flyable. It is your responsibility to ensure the airworthiness of the model.
4.
Inspect and check for the correct operation of the model and all its components before every flight.
5.
If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown a high-performance model before, it is recommended that you seek assistance from an
experienced pilot in your R/C club for your first flights. If you’re not a member of a club, the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) has
information about clubs in your area whose membership includes experienced pilots.
6.
Keep the propeller area clear from such items such as loose clothing, jewelry, long hair, or tools as they can become entangled. Keep your
hands and body parts away from the propeller as injury can occur.
7.
Never fly in visible moisture or submerge the airplane or any of its electronic components in water. Permanent damage to electronic
components may occur, or corrosion of components may lead to intermittent failures.
LOW VOLTAGE CUTOFF
Li-Po batteries have a nominal (rated) voltage of 3.7v per cell, and fully charged, reach 4.2v per cell. Batteries are designed to be discharged
below the nominal voltage, however, if they are discharged below 3.0v per cell, damage will occur and the pack will lose capacity. For best long
term battery life, set a timer and land after a time that leaves approximately 15% of the battery’s capacity remaining.
Low voltage cuto
ff
is a feature that is built into the ZTW 50A ESC that is designed to protect the connected battery from being discharged too far
and causing permanent damage to the cells. Circuitry within the ESC will automatically detect when the input voltage from the battery pack
reaches below 3.0V per cell (average) and will remove power to the motor, but still deliver power to the servos so that a safe landing may be
made. If the motor begins to lose power rapidly during flight, the LVC has sensed that the total voltage of the pack has dropped below 3.0V per
cell average, and the airplane should be landed immediately.
