PRE-FLIGHT ENVIRONMENT CHECK
1. Location – Fly in a large, wide-open, grassy location that is free of buildings, trees, overhead wires, and other obstructions. Do not fly near people or animals.
2. Weather – Fly on mild, sunny days. Do not fly in electrical storms, rain, sleet, snow, or other adverse weather conditions. Do not fly if the temperature is below
45°F/7°C. In very cold temperatures, the plane will become fragile and the engine performance will decrease.
3. Wind Conditions – Do not fly in wind. Winds may overpower the plane and make it difficult to control. In windy conditions, it may appear as though you have
no control over the plane.
Charge the plane’s internal batteries for 4 minutes. Note: If you notice your flight time decreasing over time, you may increase the charge
time up to 8 minutes for better performance. Never charge more than 8 minutes or you may burn out the batteries.
