Set up of Rapid Flyer Lucky Duck™ is quite simple. The first thing you will want to do is charge your battery for
24 hours. The battery will have a small charge on it so you can test your duck function if you like before charging
the battery. Attach the Red alligator clip to the (+) battery terminal and Black to the (-) battery terminal
1) Locate the feet found inside the body cavity of the duck and the T shaped mounting bracket found
inserted in the top of one of the metal stake sections.
2) Remove the protective rubber covers from the threaded shafts that protrude from the legs.
3) Slide each of the feet over the threaded studs that come out of the legs on the duck body.
4) Slide the T-shaped mounting bracket over the studs as indicated in the Figure 1 below.
Remove the elastic strap found directly behind the motor inside the decoy body and insert the 6V battery as
shown in Figure 2 below. Replace the elastic strap to secure the battery, hook up the Red wire (with fuse) to the
RED (Positive) battery terminal and the BLACK (Negative) battery terminal.

Stake:
1) The 3 pc pole has a top (for T stake), middle and bottom section (pointed end). Simply slide each
section into the other, until the metal ball clip, pops into the corresponding hole.
2) Insert the T-Shaped mounting bracket on the top pole, until the metal ball clip, pops into the
corresponding hole.
Installing the wings:
1) Determine which wing is the right and which wing is the left. To do this pay attention to the blue
patch on the top of the wing. This always goes to the back of the duck.
2) Tip the wing back so the T-shaped mounting feature lines up with its corresponding slot in the mounting
bracket in the top of the duck. Insert the round end of the mounting feature into the slot and slide the
wing all the way in until it stops.
3) Once the mounting feature stops, tip the wing down into its normal position. Make sure the wing is all
the way in before attempting to swing the wing down. If not, it could damage the mounting bracket.
4) On the underside of the wing, there is a linkage with a cam in the bottom with a thumbscrew protruding
from it. Loosen the thumbscrew and slide the cam over the motor shaft until it stops so the screw is
lined up with the flat on the motor shaft. It’s very important the screw is lined up with the flat on the
motor shaft or your wings will not flap properly. Tighten the thumbscrew on the cam down until it’s tight
against the flat on the motor shaft.
5) Repeat steps 1-4 above for the other wing. See Figures 3-6 below for detail photos.
Turning the unit ON:
On the bottom of the tail is a rocker switch. Press the switch forward and the wings will start to flap.
If you purchase a remote control for your Rapid Flyer Lucky Duck) you will put the switch in the “II” position, or in
the back position for the remote control to work with it. Forward is Manual Mode, Backward is Remote mode.
Adjusting the flapping speed:
You may find it desirable to adjust the wing flapping speed. To do this, you rotate the rheostat knob on the
bottom of the duck. Rotate it clockwise to speed it up, counterclockwise to slow it down. In direct sunlight on
warm days, it’s possible that the internal wing material will warm up enough to soften slightly. This will not hurt
the wings in any way. You will know this has happened if the wings start vibrating rather than flapping. You can
slow the motor down to re-achieve a flapping condition by turning the rheostat counterclockwise.
