Step 3
Motor Test
1. Make sure the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.
2. Turn on the transmitter and wait 5 seconds.
3. Plug the flight battery into the white lead in the fuselage. This
must be done carefully to avoid accidentally reversing the
polarity and causing damage to the ESC and battery. You should
have control of the aircraft within 5 seconds of connecting the
flight battery.
4. Secure the flight battery. Gently press the battery pack against
the hook and loop material on the underside of the fuselage.
5. Advance the throttle forward and the propeller should spin at
a high speed. (
CAUTION:
Make sure that you keep everything
away from the propeller at all times.)
6. When finished with the motor test, continue to Flight Control Test
on the next page.
7. You may notice there is some down thrust when looking at the
prop/prop shaft. This is intentional and is not a sign of damage.
Adult Supervision Required
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller and hold the
plane securely. A moving propeller can cause severe injury.
Step 4
Flight Control Test
Warning:
Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the
control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor.
1. Be certain that the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.
Aircraft supplied with a Mode 1 transmitter will function with
the throttle/ rudder operation on the right stick and elevator
operation on the left stick.
2. Move the right stick from side to side. The rudder should move
per your transmitter input.
3. When using a Mode 2 transmitter, move the right stick full
forward. When this is done, the elevator control surface should
move down. Mode 1 transmitters will operate with the elevator
control located on the left stick and the throttle/ rudder control
on the right stick.
4. Pull the right stick back (the left stick for Mode 1 transmitters)
and the elevator control surface should move upward.
