correctly, the ESC will beep once or twice and automatically recognize the throttle. You are ready to fly.

or deactivated.

You have a few different options when it comes to repairing your model. In most cases of crash damage you can simply glue the pieces back together
using CA adhesives. Allow ample time for the pieces to dry before attempting to fly your plane. In the event of severe damage or breakage to your
model you can purchase replacement parts to repair your model. Before determining what items to purchase, make an attempt to salvage any plastic
parts. In most cases the foam and CA adhesive can be removed from plastic parts and they can be reused.
The following pages show the available spare parts for your model along with instructions on how they are assembled.
