Motor Test

1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the

“off” position.

2. Turn on transmitter.

3. Remove battery cap from bottom of the fuselage.

4. Plug the flight battery into the black lead inside

the fuselage.

5. Secure battery inside fuselage cavity and replace

battery cap.

6. Your Super Decathlon has a built-in throttle-arming

feature that needs to “see” the throttle slider in

the off position before it will spin the propeller.

(CAUTION: Make sure that you, as well as loose

clothing and hair, are away from propeller at all

times!) Advance the throttle forward and the propeller

should spin at a high speed. The throttle-arming

feature will need to be activated each time the

battery is plugged into the airplane.

7. When finished with the motor test, be sure to

disconnect the battery first, then turn off the

transmitter. This step should be followed each time

you need to turn the airplane off.

Attaching the Wing

1. Locate wing.

2. Locate wing strut screws.

3. Place the wing on the top of the fuselage, making

certain it is centered properly. Attach the wing with

four rubber bands that are included. Stretch two of

the rubber bands from the front to the rear attach

points. Stretch the last two diagonally across the

middle to the attach points.

4. Once this is done, it is time to attach the wing

struts to the fuselage. Locate the two washers and

small Phillips screws and attach strut to fuselage as

shown. Once the screw is tightened into the fuse,

you can loosen it slightly to allow the slack of the

strut to be adjusted as needed.

5. Make sure that prior to each flight the wing is

properly centered on the fuselage. If the wing

is not centered properly, it is impossible to have

correct flight.

Adult Supervision Required

WARNING: Keep everything clear of the propeller and
hold the plane securely. A moving propeller can cause
severe injury.
