Range Test
You will need two people to perform the range test: one
to hold the plane and the other to give the transmitter
input.
Warning: The person holding the plane should hold it
in such a way that the propeller does not come into
contact with any part of their clothing or body.
1. One person holds the transmitter, while the other
person walks 100 paces away with the airplane.
2. Be sure the throttle slider is in the “Off” position.
3. Extend the transmitter antenna completely and turn
the transmitter on.
4. Plug the airplane battery into the fuselage.
5. As soon as the throttle slider is advanced, the
propeller should spin quickly.
6. As the first person moves the transmitter controls,
the other person watches to be sure the airplane’s
motor and tail controls operate smoothly.
Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio
Control Pilot
VERY IMPORTANT
The 3-channel control system is designed for the
experienced radio control pilot and is not intended for the
first-time flyer. If you have successfully flown the Zone 2
HobbyZone® airplanes, then you should be ready for the
ParkZone™ Super Decathlon. However, first-time pilots
of the ParkZone™ Super Decathlon should seek the
assistance of an experienced RC flyer until the additional
third channel, pitch control, has been competently
mastered. Crash damage is not covered under the
warranty.
Important: Initial flights should always be done with
the airplane in Low Rate (Mode A). In this mode, there
is some limitation to the travel allowed, helping to
prevent you from over-control. After you have made
several safe flights in Mode A, you can move on to
Mode B which will no longer limit the travel of the
control surfaces. (See next step.)
Note: It is possible to change flight modes in flight.
However, it is important that you have enough altitude
prior to attempting to change the flight mode.
