Flying Tips and Repairs
WARNING: Always engage throttle cut before
approaching the aircraft.
Range Check the Radio System
Range check the radio system with the aircraft. Refer to
your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test
information.
Flying
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in no greater
than moderate winds or inside in a large gymnasium. Al-
ways avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings.
You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where
there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards
or soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into the
wind if flying outdoors). Set dual rates to low position and
gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full and steer with
the rudder. Pull back gently on the elevator and climb to
check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the
flight envelope of the aircraft.
Hand Launching
NOTICE: We recommend hand launching in SAFE Mode,
into the wind at 100% power, in high rates.
When hand launching in SAFE mode, the control unit will
sense the force of the launch and automatically enable
the Hand Launch Assist feature. When this feature is
active, the control unit will add up elevator so the aircraft
climbs at a higher angle for a few seconds. It will return to
standard SAFE mode shortly after launch.
Grip
We recommend holding the aircraft on the bottom of the
fuselage, just behind the wings, as shown.
Post Flight Checklist
Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (Required for
safety and battery life).
Power OFF the transmitter.

Landing
Always land into the wind. During the flare, keep the
wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Slowly
lower the throttle while easing back on the elevator to
bring the aircraft gently down on all three wheels.
NOTICE: Always fully lower the throttle at touch down
when landing the aircraft to prevent damage to the
propeller and motor.
Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest
possible positions during a crash could result in damage to
the ESC in the receiver unit.
Over-Current Protection (OCP)
The aircraft is equipped with over-current protection. OCP
protects the ESC from overheating and stops the motor
when the transmitter throttle is set too high and the pro-
peller cannot turn. OCP will only activate when the throttle
is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops
the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.
Repairs
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA glue or clear
tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue as other types of
glue can damage the foam. When parts are not repairable,
see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.
Follow Through
Use an overhand throw and launch with wings level and
the nose of the model slightly upwards. Follow through
with your hand launch by pointing your fingers at the
airplane after the throw. Avoid an arcing throw which can
pull the nose down at release.
Remove the flight battery from the aircraft.
Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and
monitor the battery charge.
