least 150 x 200 meters. The following is based on common safety precautions for flying RC models.
1) Do not fly in an area where people are gathered or near tall buildings.
2) Do not fly near streets or where subways or trains pass by.
3) Do not fly near explosive materials.
4) Do not fly near power lines or transmission towers.
The following checks are done with the radio’s system turned on and the model’s main battery plugged in and fully charged. Be sure to turn on the
transmitter and check to make sure that the throttle is in the OFF position BEFORE connecting the main battery.

charged in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations before conducting this test.

Function Check: Check to make sure the model responds correctly to the transmitter inputs.
If you are unsure about the proper range, operation or functionality of any part of the radio system, do not fly the model! If you cannot identify and solve
the problem do not fly. Contact Hitec or the radio system manufacture’s customer service for help resolving the issue

8. Maiden Flight
7. Maiden Flight
For the first flight wait for a day with as little breeze as possible; the evening hours often offer calmer conditions The aircraft is designed to be hand-
launched (always into wind). If you are a beginner to model flying, we strongly recommend that you ask an experienced modeler to help you for the first
few flights. The following instructions are for users to easily understand the process of taking off, making in flight adjustments and landing the model.
The instruction manual cannot address every situation that may occur, but it does explain common situations that occur which could be useful for you
when flying. Beginner fliers should seek the help of an experienced pilot through a friend, local club or nearby RC hobby retailer.
