We recommend fl ying your aircraft outside in calm
conditions. Always avoid fl ying near houses, trees,
wires and buildings. You should also be careful to
avoid fl ying in areas where there are many people,
such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fi elds.
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing
a location to fl y your aircraft.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into
the wind if fl ying outdoors). Gradually increase the
throttle to ¾ to full and steer with the rudder. Pull
back gently on the elevator and climb to check trim.
Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the fl ight
envelope of the aircraft.
Landing
Land into the wind. This is very important for this
model. Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches
(15cm) or less above the runway, using a small
amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the
throttle on until the aircraft is ready to fl are.
During fl are, keep the wings level and the airplane
pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while
pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft
down on all three wheels.
Failure to lower the throttle
stick and trim to the lowest
possible positions during a
crash could result in damage
to the ESC in the receiver
unit, which may require
replacement.
Over Current Protection
(OCP)
This aircraft is equipped with
Over Current Protection (OCP).
This feature protects the ESC
from overheating. OCP stops
the motor when the transmitter throttle is set too
high and the propeller cannot turn. The OCP will
only activate when the throttle stick is positioned
just above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the
motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.
NOTICE:
Crash damage is not covered under the
warranty.
Repairs
Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA
(cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape.
Only use
foam-compatible CA
, as other types of glue can
damage the foam. When parts are not repairable,
see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by
item number.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts,
refer to the list at the end of this manual.
NOTICE:
Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant
on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle
the aircraft until the accelerant fully dries.
NOTICE:
When you are fi nished fl ying, never leave
the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed
area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
Flying Tips and Repairs
Post Flight Checklist
1. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC
(Required for safety and battery life).
2. Power OFF the transmitter.
3. Remove the flight battery from the
aircraft.
4. Recharge the flight battery.
5. Store the flight battery apart from the
aircraft and monitor the battery charge.
6. Make note of the flight conditions and flight
plan results, planning for future flights.
CAUTION:
Always decrease
throttle at propeller
strike.
