CAUTION:
Keep aircraft away from magnetic sources such as cameras, camera mounts, speakers ect. These may interfere with the GPS system and
loss of control may result.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Install a fully charged fl ight battery, following the instructions in the
Install the Flight Battery
section. The control surfaces will go to full up elevator, left aileron and left
rudder briefl y, indicating the aircraft is searching for an RF link.
3. Once the RF link has been established, the elevator will move up and down slowly, indicating the aircraft is searching for GPS lock.
• If you wish to change the virtual fence mode, input the transmitter stick commands as described in the
Virtual Fence Mode and GPS
section while the aircraft
is searching for GPS lock.
• The elevator movement will speed up as satellites are located.
• The elevator will quickly move and then center to indicate GPS lock.
4. The ESC will arm. The throttle is active but only slowly pulses the motor, allowing you to taxi the aircraft. Either taxi to or place the aircraft in the desired home
location, pointing into the wind and the desired takeoff direction.
5. When in the desired location and direction, press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button to set the home location.
• If either of the circle Virtual Fence modes are active or if virtual fence is off, all control surfaces will wag, indicating the aircraft is ready for fl ight. Relase the HP/AL (bind)
button.
• If the Airfi eld Virtual Fence mode is active, only the ailerons will wag left and right. Release the HP/AL (bind) button. You must then indicate where the
fl ying side of the airfi eld is in relation to the home location. The throttle will be inactive until the fl ying side direction is set. Set the fl ying side direction by
moving the aileron stick either left or right:
- If the fl ying side is off the right wing of the aircraft as it sits in the home location, push the aileron stick right.
- If the fl ying side is off the left wing as the aircraft sits in the home location, push the aileron stick left.
Once the home location and fl ying location is set, all surfaces will wag, indicating the aircraft is ready for fl ight.
Power On, GPS Initialization and Establishing Home Location
Takeoff
Set the fl ight mode switch to Beginner Mode (position 0) for
your fi rst fl ights.
Set a fl ight timer for 5-6 minutes.
Ground Launch
Once you have established a home position and the aircraft
is ready for fl ight, slowly advance the throttle to start the
takeoff roll into the wind. Small rudder inputs may be
required for heading correction as the aircraft will begin a
slow climb out as the throttle is advanced.
Hand Launch
Once you have established a home position and the aircraft
is ready for fl ight, use the following steps.
1. Grip the aircraft under the fuselage, behind the wing struts.
2. Slowly advance the throttle to 100%.
3. Throw the aircraft slightly nose up and directly into the
wind (less than 5–7 mph (8–11km/h)).
Slowly advance
the throttle stick.
Slowly advance
the throttle stick.
Deactivating GPS in Flight
If the GPS system malfunctions while in fl ight, deactivate it to regain full manual control.
To deactivate the GPS in fl ight, press and hold the HP/AL (bind) button down and fully cycle the fl ight mode switch 3 times. The rudder will wag to indicate
GPS is deactivated.
Set the fl ight mode switch to beginner mode for full SAFE Plus function. The GPS system will remain off until the aircraft is landed and the fl ight battery is
unplugged and reconnected.
NOTICE:
If GPS is deactivated, none of the Virtual Fence modes, Hold Position mode or Auto Land mode will function. The pilot will have to manually fl y the aircraft
back to a safe landing.
