WARNINGS
GENERAL WARNINGS
• Never y your aircraft from the street or at night. Alwas y in an open area free from obstructions.
• When ying, make sure any spectators are behind you.
• Always be consious of the spinning propeller. Be careful not to allow loose clothing etc to be drawn into the propeller.

• Do not use or charge the battery if the battery is hot.
• Do not leave the model in direct sunlight or in a hot storage area such as a hot car. Do not let any parts to get wet or
exposed to moisture.
• Do not overcharge the LiPo battery. Maximum voltage (max 4.2V) for each LiPo battery must be followed.
• Do not short-circuit the LiPo battery. Check polarity - then connect the LiPo battery to the charger socket.
• Only discharge and charge the battery outdoors or in a re safe container.
• Do not operate or charge the LiPo battery unattended.
• Do not use the battery if you do not undertand the warnings and proper use of the LiPo battery.
• Always let the battery to cool and rest between use and charging. Do not charge inside your car or inside your house.
• We recommend the use of a safe container when charging and storing (such as a LiPo-Safe bag).
• Inspect the battery before each use for swelling or other malfunction. If the LiPo battery has “balooned” it must be
discarded (drop it o at your local battery recycling station).
• Do not over discharge or exceed the maximum discharge level (minimum battery voltage = 3.0V)
• Do not poke, bend or damage the battery. The outer casing is soft and can be damaged.
• The LiPo battery must never exceed 71°C for any reason.
This radio control model is not a toy, serious injury to persons or damage to property can result if not used in a

Charging the LiPo battery
Charge Socket
• Read page 2 carefully and charge the LiPo battery accordingly.
• Use only the specied charger.
• Do not charge a damaged battery - this may cause re or seriouse damage.
1S 3.7V 200 mAh LiPo Battery
Charge LED
Connect the 3.7V 200 mAh LiPo battery to the charge socket.
The charge LED will light up and quick charging starts. A fully discharged battery takes about
40 minutes to charge.
After the charging LED will go o, the charging is complete.
The transmitter can easily be changed from Mode 1 to Mode 2
with the mode change switch. In Europe it’s most common to
use Mode 2 that uses the throttle on the left stick.
Move the left and right hand sticks to the neutral
position.
Make sure the mode change switch is moved all
the way to it’s end location.

Binding of the Transmitter and the Airplane
While pushing/pressing down the throttle stick, turn
the power switch ON. The transmitter will beep for 20
seconds.
• Always turn on the transmitter rst.
• Ensure the throttle stick is all the way down - a spinning propeller can be dangerous.
• Connect the LiPo battery within 20 seconds from turning on the transmitter.
• Leave the model stable on a at surface for another 3-5 seconds for the calibration of the 3AXG™ gyro system.
• Make sure all the trim’s are within neutral +/- 7 steps (except the throttle trim) for the calibration to start.
• The gyro calibration must be done every time the transmitter and model is turned on, otherwise it will not function
correctly.
The binding procedure is already done at the factory and the model is ready to be used. But if the binding is lost, follow
the below procedure to get the model and transmitter to recognize each other (bind).
OK!
3AXG™ Gyro Calibration Procedure
Connect the LiPo battery to the airplane while the
transmitter is beeping.
When the airplane beeps, turn OFF the transmitter
and then ON again. The binding process is done.

Choosing Your Airfield
Choosing a Day to Fly
Pre-Flight Check
Choose a ying eld that is a large open eld with grass. There should be no
vehicles, no buildings, no powerlines, no trees, no large rocks or anything
else that your model can crash into.
Size of an indoor hall - see
drawing to the right.
Fly the airplane within 50 meters or
the control may be lost.
Calm weather with either no wind at all or a wind speed of 1-2 m/s is suitable for ying.
Light Wind Strong Wind
Check for any broken or damaged parts on the
wing, fuselage or tail wing.
Be sure the propeller and spinner are properly
attached.
Switch ON the transmitter and connect the
battery. Follow the binding and calibration
procedures explained earlier.
If the motor starts rotating accidentally, have an
assistant hold the rear of the airplane securely.
Test the range of the radio signal. Step back about
10 m and check for any unusual behavior.
Check that the airplane respond properly to
control signals.
OK! NO!

9
Take Off
Adjusting the Neutral Trims
Check that the airplane responds
correctly to control signals.
Apply full throttle while facing into the wind. Hold the plane horizontally
and launch it forward with a steady hand motion.
After launching the airplane, use the rudder to adjust the motion where the airplane is traveling left/right. If the airplane
rolls sideways left or right - adjust the motion with the ailerons. If the airplane does not climb - adjust it with the elevator
stick. After reaching about 2 meter altitude, begin circling the airplane. (If the battery isn’t charged fully the airplane will
not ascend.)
Fly the airplane level/horizontal.
Release your nger from the rudder stick.
If the nose of the airplane ies to the right/left - adjust
the neutral trims until the model ies straight.
Do the same with the aileron stick. If the plane rolls in
any direction - adjust the aileron neutral trim until it
ies straight.
Fly the airplane level/horizontal.
Release your nger from the elevator stick.
If the airplane dives or climbs - adjust the elevator
neutral trim until it ies straight.
Adjust the elevator, rudder and
aileron neutral trims until the airplane
ies straight while releasing the sticks
to the neutral position.
Each trim position is indicated with a beeping sound.

10
Landing
When the LiPo battery power runs low the auto-cut function will stop the propeller. So aim for about 5-6 minutes
of ight time and then land the airplane before the auto-cut function stops the motor from running.
When landing, make a wide turn with the wind and then land the airplane into the wind.
Wind
Wind
When approaching the ground, use the
elevator to keep the airplane horizontal.
Then land the airplane.
Face the airplane into the wind and control
any left/right direction with the rudder and
any left/right roll with the aileron.
Use the throttle stick to reduce speed and altitude.Try to keep the airplane horizontal.

11
After Landing
After Flight Maintenance
Disconnect the LiPo battery and recharge it. Switch OFF the transmitter.
OFF
• The LiPo battery can become hot/warm after ight. Always let the battery cool down
before recharging.
• Recharge the battery before storage.
• Don’t store a discharged LiPo battery - it may become destroyed and/or cause damage.
Always remove the LiPo bat-
tery from the airplane after
use and store the battery
separately in a safe place
and/or in a LiPo-Safe bag.
Remove the AA batteries
from the transmitter.
Check that no screws have
loosened and repair any
damaged parts before the
next ight.
Use a foam-safe glue when
repairing the model.
Clean and remove any dirt
from the model.
