IMPORTANT: BEFORE YOUR FIRST FLIGHT, YOU MUST CHARGE AND DISCHARGE YOUR AIRPLANE FULLY 1 TIME. YOU MUST ALSO REPEAT
THIS STEP WHEN A PROLONGED PERIOD OF TIME HAS PASSED WITHOUT FLYING. FAILURE TO DO THIS WILL RESULT IN SHORTENED
LIFESPAN FOR YOUR AIRPLANE. FOR ALL OTHER FLIGHTS, CHARGE THE BATTERIES ONCE ONLY. DO NOT OVERCHARGE THE BATTERIES AS
THIS WILL PERMANENTLY DAMAGE THE BATTERIES.

By following these charging tips, your Entity™ plane’s batteries lifespan
is extended.
•After each flight, switch off the plane.
•Before storing the plane for a long period of time, fully charge your plane and
switch the plane off.
•Prior to flying in cold weather, store the plane in an indoor area with a
temperature above 68°F/20°C.
•If the battery condition (completely drained or fully charged) is unknown, drain
the battery fully by turning the plane on until the plane’s rotors stop moving.
•DO NOT charge the plane’s batteries more than ONCE at any time. If the
plane’s battery power is weak, discharge the battery by leaving the plane on.
ALWAYS REST the plane for at least 1 MINUTE before re-charging.
IMPORTANT CHARGING TIPS
SETTING UP YOUR ENTITYTM FOR INDOOR TRAINING
•Always launch your plane against the wind direction and parallel to the ground
for the best flight performance.
• Never fly the plane in high winds. HIGH WINDS WILL LIMIT, AND MAY
PREVENT, YOUR ABILITY TO CONTROL THE AIRPLANE. USE IN HIGH
WINDS MAY ALSO RESULT IN LOSS OF, OR DAMAGE TO, THE AIRPLANE.

PROBLEM SOLUTION CAUSE
Plane will not loop.
Plane crashes OR will
NOT fly.
Plane not responding
to controller OR plane
responds to some other
signal.
1. Not enough charge.
2. STUNT FLAP is not in the
correct position.
3. Winds are too strong.
4. Improper technique.
5. Rudder Alignment is OFF.
1. Not enough charge.
2. Plane misaligned OR damaged
from previous flights.
1. Interference from other radio
transmission signals in the area.
1. Repeat the charging process.Refer to the “Charging your EntityTM”section on Page 2.
2. Adjust STUNT FLAP so that it is level with the HORIZONTAL TAIL WING.
3. Fly in conditions with little or no wind for best performance.
4A. LOOPING TAKES TIME AND PRACTICE! Pilots should master directional control on their TRAINER first.
Once pilots are comfortable with their technique, they should then practice flying outdoors.
B. ENSURE: (1) the minimum altitude is reached before attempting to loop and (2) the step-by-step toggle
directions are followed (See Pages 5 and 6).
5 A. If the plane rolls out to the RIGHT before fully completing loops – Bend the rudder slightly to the LEFT.
B. If the plane rolls out to the LEFT before fully completing loops – Bend the rudder slightly to the RIGHT.
1. Repeat the charging process. Refer to the “Charging your EntityTM” section on Page 2.
2. Wings: •Use clear tape to repair wings. • Ensure that the HORIZONTAL TAIL WING is parallel to the MAIN
WING. •Ensure that the VERTICAL T
AIL WING is 90° with the MAIN WING.
Propellers: •Ensure that both PROPELLERS can spin freely.
Plane: •Ensure plane responds to control functions by turning the plane “ON” while holding it in your hand.
1. Turn the plane “ON” and hold it in your hand. If the plane responds without you touching the controller,
there is interference.DO NOTFL
Y.Y
ou SHOULD NOTfly the plane if it does not respond to your controller,
or if it responds to something other than your controller. If the problem persists, it is recommended that you
fly your plane in another area.
