Flyzone HCAA1961 - Manual (Page 9)

Feed the control surface wire through the hole in the
control horn and then through the hole in the
adjustment knob. Pull approximately ¾" [19mm] of
excess wire through the knob.
While holding the excess wire taught, rotate the knob
so that the wire is reeled in. A few rotations will then
keep the wire tight on the knob. Adjust the knob until
the control surface is level.
Check the operation of all control surfaces. If the motor
begins rotating with the throttle at its lowest position,
adjust the throttle trim to stop the motor from turning.
The SkyFly should be flown only when the wind speed
is 5 mph or less. If the wind is calm or very light, the
SkyFly will be docile and easy to control. Also, find an
area clear of trees, power lines and other structures. A
flying field for R/C planes is best. Don’t fly around
groups of people, especially children or within 6-miles
of existing R/C flying fields.
Find an open area free of buildings, trees, power lines and
people. For your first few flights, fly only when the wind is
calm. After you are comfortable with the airplane, you can
fly in winds that are no more than 5 miles per hour. If flown
in stronger winds, the plane may be blown down wind and
not have enough power to get back.
Make sure the battery pack is fully charged and that the
transmitter has fresh “AA” batteries installed.
If others are flying in the same area, make sure that they
are not using the same channel radio system you are.
The front of your transmitter has a tag with a number on
it (i.e. 1 through 6 and 26.995 through 27.255). This is
the channel number and frequency you are using. If
someone is on the same channel or frequency, DO NOT
switch on your transmitter until they are finished flying.
Your transmitter controls the altitude, direction and
speed of the airplane. The right stick controls the
altitude and direction and the stick on the left side of the
transmitter controls the speed.
When the battery power gets too low, the “Auto Cut-Off”
feature of the speed control provides an extra degree of
insurance. It reacts to low power by pulsing the motor on
and off, in effect saving power for the receiver. That way your
airplane goes into a glide and you stay in control as you land.
First, extend the transmitter antenna and switch your
transmitter power switch “ON.” Be sure your throttle stick is
moved all the way to the bottom position.
Second, connect your battery to the electronic speed
control in the fuselage.
Caution: Keep your hands away from the propeller.
