Do a preflight check before every flight. Always turn the transmitter power on before
the motor battery in the airplane is plugged in. Make sure that the motor control
stick is in the full down position. Make sure that the controls are working properly.
Check the trim levers on the transmitter. Pull the control stick back and observe that
both elevons move upward. Push the control stick to the right and observe the right
elevon moves up and the left elevon moves down. Hold the Zagi-FiXX securely by
the nose. Move the throttle stick to the half throttle position momentarily. The first
glide test should be done on flat land in a light breeze. Hold the Zagi-FiXX over
your head with the nose pointed straight ahead. Run slowly into the wind. Give it a
gentle push LEVEL AND STRAIGHT AHEAD. Do not point the nose upward. Correct
the flight path with the radio control stick. The test is successful when the Zagi-FiXX
flies straight ahead with a slow sink rate to a sliding landing. If the Zagi-FiXX turns
in either direction after the launch, compensate by adding 2 or 3 clicks of trim in
the opposite direction with the trim lever below or next to the control stick. If the
Zagi-FiXX pitches up and immediately dives, add 2 or 3 clicks of down trim. Repeat
the glide test until the Zagi-FiXX flies straight ahead with a slow sink rate to a sliding
landing. Increase the launch speed each time to provide longer controlled flights.

Check the frequencies (channel number) of all pilots within visual range before
turning on your transmitter. Turning on your transmitter with the same channel
number as someone who is flying will certainly cause his plane to crash.
Radio controled model airplanes can cause considerable damage to someone or
something if a collision occurs. Please exercise caution while flying. Learn more
