afety Precautions
• Read and follow this anual co pletely, observing all instructions and safety directions. Otherwise, serious
injury and da age can occur. Think about your safety, and the safety of others, first.
• Hold the aeroplane securely when the flight battery is plugged in, keep the propeller away fro body parts
and clothing, even when it isn’t spinning, as it could be turned on by accident. Beware of hair beco ing en
tangled in the propeller, especially while launching your aeroplane.
• Do not fly when it’s too windy or you ay lose control and crash, causing injury or da age. Never fly near
people, vehicles, train tracks, buildings, power lines, water, hard surfaces or trees. Never allow anyone to
atte pt to catch the aeroplane while it’s in flight or serious injury ay result.
• Adult supervision for flying and battery charging is reco ended for pilots age 14 and younger.
• Only use a battery charger that is Li-Po co patible to charge the flight battery. Never leave the charger
unattended while charging. This will help prevent overcharging and ake sure da age does not occur to the
battery, charger or any other property. While charging, place the battery on a heat-resistant surface. Do not lay
it on carpet or upholstery while charging.
• Never cut into the battery, charger, or aeroplane wires or serious injury ay occur. Causing the battery to
“short out” (crossing negative and positive bare wires) can cause fire, serious injury and da age.
• When you finish flying your aeroplane, always unplug the battery before you turn off the trans itter.
• Never fly on the sa e frequency as another RC aeroplane in your area. The frequency of the aeroplane is
shown on the frequency crystals.
Recommended Tools
These tools are not included with the product but are reco ended for use whilst working with this product
Mini Philips Screwdriver Foa Safe Super Glue
Charging the battery pack
Use the supplied charger to charge the supplied battery. Other products are available and if used, you ust follow
the products instructions to avoid da age.
The charge ti e for the battery is 130 inutes.
1. Connect the 240V wall ounted transfor er (12V output) to the input side of the supplied charger, the red
power indicator should glow.
2. Plug the aeroplane battery into the 7.4V 2-cell output socket of the charger. The charge indicator should glow
green after 5 seconds to indicate charging is taking place.
3. When charging is co plete the charger will auto atically stop charging and the green light will go out.
4. Unplug the battery and input to the charger.
If the charge indicator does not glow green when the battery is plugged in or flashes then the battery is already fully
charged. For flying field use a 12V lead input is provided which can be connected to an auto otive car battery ensur-
ing the correct polarity is used. Red = positive ter inal, black = negative ter inal
Cautions
• Use the charger with adult supervision. Do not use the charger near water or when wet.
• Do not use the charger if the wire is frayed or worn. If the wire is frayed or worn a short circuit can cause a fire
or burns.
• If your battery gets hot and exceeds 50 degrees C during charge it ay be faulty and should be replaced.
• If the battery pack bulges during charge or use it is faulty and should be replaced.
• Never leave your battery on charge unattended.

Making Trim Adjustments to the Horizontal tabiliser & Rudder
1. Make sure the throttle stick is in the “off” position by pulling it fully back.
2. Turn on the trans itter and check the LED power lights co e on.
3. Set the aileron, elevator & rudder tri levers to the centre.
4. Install a fully charged battery into the battery co part ent nearest the front of the aeroplane and plug in the
connector to switch on.
5. The control surfaces should ove as the control sticks are oved.
6. Make certain the elevator is set to neutral and is flat with the horizontal stabiliser. Do this by re oving the
clevis fro the control horn and turning it on the threaded pushrod as needed. Once the adjust ent is ade,
re-attach the clevis.
7. Make certain the rudder is set to neutral and is flat with the tail fin. Do this by re oving the clevis fro the
control horn and turning it on the threaded pushrod as needed. Once the adjust ent is ade, re-attach the
clevis.
8. Make certain the ailerons when set to neutral are flat with the wing. Do this by re oving the clevis fro the
control horn and turning it on the threaded pushrod as needed. Once the adjust ent is ade, re-attach the
clevis.
9. If for any reason the controls ove in opposite directions to those explained in the trans itter functioning then
change the position of the relevant reverse switch on the trans itter.

It is i portant that the control surfaces of your aeroplane are correctly set for it to fly correctly.
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the tests so you do not da age any property or har
anyone.
Motor Test
With the trans itter and aeroplane already switched on fro above
1. Hold the aeroplane fir ly by its fuselage and keep everything clear of the propeller.
2. Push the throttle stick forwards slowly and the propeller should spin at speed.
3. When finished with the otor test, disconnect the battery and then turn off the trans itter. Follow this step
each ti e you need to turn the aeroplane off.
4. If for any reason the otor operates on full power with the control stick pulled backwards and is off in the
forward position then switch off the power and reverse the relevant reverse switch on the trans itter. Then
re-test as above.
Trimming Adjustments & Control Tests

8
Using the Ailerons
In a 4-channel odel the ailerons provide the pri ary control for turning.
• Moving the stick to the left or right will roll the aeroplane which will begin to turn and slip sideways.
• To continue the turn the aileron is returned to neutral and up elevator applied until the desired direction is
achieved.
• To co plete the turn an opposite application of aileron will achieve level flight.
• Continued holding of the aileron stick will cause the aeroplane to roll upside down and eventually level once
ore, such as used in advanced aerobatic anoeuvres.
Using the Motor
The otor is used to control the flying speed and rate of cli b of the aeroplane
• Initial take off and cli b to ini u altitude is carried out at full power.
• To achieve and aintain a level “cruising” altitude, reduce the power by oving the throttle stick down to
approxi ately 70% of full on. The throttle stick is proportional, so you can add or reduce throttle in s all
incre ents as needed to aintain the altitude that you desire.
• To reduce altitude you need to reduce the throttle, and to increase altitude you need to increase the throttle
Using the Elevator
The elevator is used to control the pitch (level) of the aeroplane. In nor al flight s all adjust ents of the elevator are
used to aintain even level flight.
• Pushing forwards on the elevator stick akes the nose lower and the speed to increase entering a dive.
• Pulling back on the stick provides up elevator aking the nose rise and flight speed slow. Pulling too far back
on the elevator and cli bing too quickly will cause the aeroplane stall. To avoid crashing fro a stall, always
aintain enough altitude to recover. Just after a stall has occurred, the nose of the aeroplane will fall and the
aeroplane will look like it is diving. To pull out of a stall, si ply pull back slowly on the elevator stick until level
flight is resu ed. Pulling back too quickly or for too long will once again cause the aeroplane to enter a stall.
Using the Rudder
The rudder is used to control the turning of your aeroplane in the air or when taxiing on the ground through the
steerable front nose wheel. Once airborne on a 4-channel odel the rudder is used to help with aileron turns or for
ore co plex aerobatic anoeuvres.

Checklist
• Control surfaces have free ove ent
• All screws, bolts, etc. are tight
• Radio equip ent is securely fastened inside fuselage
• Batteries are fully charged
• No wires interfere with servo otors
• Antenna is properly strung
• Wings are securely fastened
• Looking fro the rear of the aeroplane to the front ake sure that the wings and tail are not da aged and
are correctly aligned to the fuselage.
Control Test
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the control test in the event that you accidentally turn
on the otor.
1. Be certain that the throttle stick is in the “off” position and that both tri levers are centred.
2. Switch on the trans itter and check to ake sure the red LED is lit continuously, indicating the trans itter
has power. If the red LED is flashing then the trans itter batteries are low on power and ust be replaced
before flying.
3. Install the flight battery into the fuselage and plug it into the battery connector
4. Move the trans itter control sticks. The control surfaces should ove as per your trans itter input.
5. Move the throttle stick forwards, the propeller should spin.
Each ti e before you start flying your Merlin Flight Product please carry out the following check checks and test.
Pre-Flight Checklist and Control Test
Range Test
1. Leave the aeroplane and walk 100 paces away whilst checking the control functions are still working.
2. If you can see or hear the control functions are still working then the range test is co plete.
3. If the control functions do not work to your co ands at 100 paces, do not atte pt to fly your aeroplane and
refer instead to the troubleshooting section of this anual.

How to Fly
Experience
A pilot who has never flown an aeroplane at all will find it easier if an experienced radio control pilot is present to
guide the but by carefully following the anual’s basic instructions, flying skills can be learnt and astered.
ite and Conditions
• Don’t fly in winds over 8 ph! If you are a less experienced pilot, this is especially i portant.
• Choose your flying field carefully - grass and soft ground with a 150- etres dia eter of open space is ideal.
Make sure there are no obstacles that will get in your way when flying, such as trees or buildings. Make sure
you do not fly where there are pedestrians who could be hurt by the aeroplane.
• Position yourself at your flying field so that you keep the sun at your back and out of your eyes. Wear
sunglasses on bright days.
• Keep your aeroplane in front of you so you don’t have to turn in circles as you fly. Try to avoid flying directly
overhead.
• Keep the aircraft upwind, especially on windier days, to prevent it fro “flying away”
Turning and Flying
1. Before your aeroplane beco es too distant begin turning by oving and releasing the aileron stick gently until
the wings are at an angle of 30 degrees. Then pull back on the elevator to tighten the turn & achieve the de-
sired direction. Gently apply opposite aileron to achieve level flight.
2. Avoid holding the aileron stick on full right or full left for ore than one second, as this will cause the aeroplane
to enter a spiral dive that could cause you to crash.
3. Once a nor al flight altitude of 15-50 etres has been achieved reduce the throttle stick to 50-75 % of full
power. This will prevent your aeroplane cli bing further, ake it easier to control and lengthen the flight ti e.
4. Practice control by turning in large circles.
5. To ake your aeroplane descend reduce the throttle stick to 0-25 % of full power and it will enter a glide. A
s all a ount of up elevator ay be needed to keep the plane level and prevent it gaining too uch speed.
Taking Off
Your Merlin aeroplane can take off fro a s ooth ground however we reco end first flights to be hand launched.
This can be carried out by the pilot alone but is easier with two people, one launching the aeroplane and the other at
the controls.
1. While holding the trans itter in one hand, push throttle stick to full on (up).
2. Hold your aeroplane with your other hand, take a couple of steps and fir ly launch directly into the wind while
keeping the wings level. Do not throw it up or down. Point it level (parallel) with the ground when releasing.
3. Keep steering into the wind and hold at full throttle in a slight cli b Do not try to cli b too fast by pulling all the
way back on the elevator stick or your aeroplane ay stall. You should cli b by giving s all a ounts of ele-
vator.
4. When you have reached an altitude of at least 15 to 20 etres it is safe to steer in the desired direction, as
well as adjust the throttle input, to help control altitude and speed.

11
Landing
When you begin to notice that your Merlin Product no longer cli bs well under full power the battery is getting low
and it is ti e to land.
1. Bring your aircraft directly into the wind and toward the desired landing spot.
2. Gradually reduce throttle (and give a s all a ount of down elevator if you choose) to reach an altitude of
approxi ately 3 etres.
3. At this point, reduce the throttle to zero and your aeroplane should glide in softly for a landing.
Tips for uccess
• The flight of your aeroplane ay change as you enter into or fly with the wind causing the nose to rise or fall,
especially in ore windy conditions. To aintain a ore controlled flight be prepared to adjust the elevator
control to keep the nose of the aeroplane level whilst turning.
• If your aeroplane continues to turn left or right with the control stick in neutral position, you can apply a s all
a ount of opposite tri by oving the appropriate tri lever whilst still in flight.
• If when gliding your aeroplane or on low power settings it continues to dive, then adjust the tri lever on the
elevator backwards to obtain level flight.
• If when gliding your aeroplane or on low power settings it continues to stall, then adjust the tri lever on the
elevator forwards to obtain level flight.
• Note that the control range is 750 etres. Do not allow the aeroplane to get too far away fro you. When the
aeroplane is further away it is harder to see and the higher you fly, the ore the aeroplane will be affected by
wind.
• If you’re gliding with the otor off, allow your aeroplane ore area for turns.
• Re e ber that holding the stick full over for too long can cause the aeroplane to spiral dive and crash. At the
very first sign of the aeroplane beginning to spiral down, i ediately release the stick and give the opposite
turn control to the spiral, then pull back on the elevator gently to level flight and level the wings.
• Don’t atte pt to fly or do anoeuvres beyond your flying abilities. Seek the assistance of an experienced pilot
when trying new anoeuvres that are ore extre e and involve fast flight.
• Da age/bends to the wings or tail can greatly affect flight control. Replace da aged parts i ediately.
• As you get better and ore experienced at flying, try adding a bit of “up” elevator just prior to landing to “flare”
the aeroplane. With so e practice, your landings should beco e s ooth and on target.

Repairing Minor Damage
If you happen to crash, and part of the tail or wing breaks, you can repair the da age by using packing tape or Foa
Safe super glue to repair and cover the issing pieces. However, if the da age is severe, or if the wings and/or tail
are bent, replace the da aged parts prior to flying again. See the last few pages of the anual for a co plete list of
replace ent parts for your Merlin Flight Product. To ensure that you ini ise the chances of any potential proble s
whilst using your Merlin Product we always reco end replacing any parts that look to be da aged before use.
