We recommend flying your aircraft inside a large
gymnasium or outdoors in calm or light winds. The
aircraft is extremely light and can be easily blown
away.
Hand Launching
Hold the aircraft at shoulder height with one hand.
While holding your transmitter in your other hand,
increase the throttle to half. Launch the aircraft
using light force. Keep the wings level and do not
throw it up or down. Point it level with the ground
when releasing. Do not grasp the pushrods while
launching as this may result in damage to the
servos.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff. Gradually
increase the throttle to full and steer with the
rudder. Pull back gently with the elevator and climb
to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin
exploring the flight envelope of the aircraft.
Flying
After takeoff, the aircraft will climb at 3/4 to full
throttle. The aircraft is designed for a slow and
relaxing flight experience. Fly at a slow, controlled
speed appropriate for the size of the location.
Landing
Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or
less above the landing surface. Reduce the throttle
and the aircraft should glide in softly for a landing.
Failure to lower the throttle
stick to the lowest possible
positions during a crash could
result in damage to the ESC in
the receiver unit, which may
require replacement.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not
covered under the warranty.
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) pulses the power to the
motor when the voltage gets low. When the motor
power pulses, land the aircraft immediately and
recharge the flight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the
aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully
charge your Li-Po battery before storing it. During
storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall
below 3V per cell.
LVC does not prevent the battery from over-
discharge during storage.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the
battery.
Repairs
Repair the aircraft using clear tape. 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: When you are finished flying, never leave
the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed
area such as a car. Doing so can damage the
aircraft.
Flying Tips and Repairs
NOTICE: Always
decrease throttle
at propeller strike.
