Prefl ight Checklist
1. Find a safe and open fl ying area
2. Charge fl ight battery
3. Install fully charged fl ight battery in aircraft
4. Make sure linkages move freely
5. Perform control direction test

Flying

Takeoff
Set the fl ight mode switch to Beginner Mode (position 0) for your fi rst fl ights.
Set a fl ight timer for 5-6 minutes.
Ground Launch
Once the aircraft is ready for fl ight, slowly advance the throttle to start the
takeoff roll into the wind. Small rudder inputs may be required for heading
correction as the aircraft will begin a slow climb out as the throttle is
advanced.
Hand Launch
Once the aircraft is ready for fl ight, use the following steps.
1. Grip the aircraft under the fuselage, behind the main gear.
2. Slowly advance the throttle to 100%.
3. Throw the aircraft slightly nose up and directly into the wind. Small rudder
inputs may be required for heading correction as the aircraft will begin a
slow climb out as the throttle is advanced.
In Flight
Let the aircraft climb at full throttle, into the wind, until the aircraft gets about
300 feet (91m) above the ground, then decrease the throttle to half (50%).
Make small and gentle stick movements to see how the aircraft responds.
Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do
when learning to fl y. Practice fl ying in large circles high off the ground.
If you lose orientation of the aircraft, press and hold the PANIC button and the
aircraft will return to level fl ight.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate throttle hold or quickly lower the
throttle and throttle trim. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the
airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

LVC is a function built into your ESC to protect the battery from over-discharge.
When the battery charge is low, LVC limits power supplied to the motor. The
aircraft will begin to slow and you will hear the motor pulse. When the motor
power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.
NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent
trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage.
During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

6. Perform a range check
7. Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions
8. Set a fl ight timer for 5-6 min.
9. Install the propeller

When properly trimmed, the aircraft's wing design causes a climb at full
throttle without the use of elevator.
