HOW TO CHARGE YOUR ROLLING FURY™
PLAYGROUND AND WEATHER SELECTION
BATTERY CHARGING
Turn the power OFF for both jet and controller/charger.
1. Connect the plug on the controller/charger to the socket
on the jet. (pic.3)
2. Set the CHG/OFF/ON selector to CHG position.
The green LED will light up. (pic.4)
3. The green LED will turn off when the battery is fully
charged.
4. The charging times may vary as to the battery status
because your charger has intelligent charging control.
OUTDOORS
1. It’s better to fly on a sunny day, and in a calm wind
or slight breeze.
WARNING: Because of the jets light weight, it may
be blown away in a strong wind.
2. We suggest you play in a grassy area to protect your
plane when it lands on the ground.
3. Do not fly your plane when it is raining, snowing,
or near high power cables.
FLYING YOUR JET
pic.3pic.3 pic.4
The green LED will light up when the
jet is being charged.
1. Screw in the antenna on the controller/charger.
2. Set the band on the controller/charger to the same band that’s
on the jet. (Check the underside of the jet for the band selection
A, B, or C).
3. Assemble the landing gear on the chassis of the jet.
4. Always turn on the jet before turning on the controller/charger.
5. Increase the left throttle to start the jets’ engines. Toss the jet
straight in front of you into the wind, to see if it is flying straight.
6. If the jet keeps turning clockwise, push and release the left
side of trim repeatedly until the turning stops and the jet flies
straight (pic.5). If the jet keeps turning counterclockwise, push
and release the right side of the trim repeatedly till the turning
stops and the jet flies straight. (pic.6). Repeat the above steps
several times to make your jet flies straight.
7. Be sure to let the jet face into the wind when you throw it. Also it’s important that you should throw it horizontally.

8. Push the throttle to MAXIMUM to drive the jet and hand throw the jet out in front of you to launch.
b) If the jet raises its nose very quickly, it may reduce speed and drop.
You should pull the left lever down (throttle down) to straighten out.
a) The correct flight pattern would be:
Sudden or rapid
acceleration will
cause the jet to
raise its nose,
stall and crash.

FLYING TIPS
REPLACING THE PROPELLERS
9. When your jet can fly steadily,
you can move the right lever to
the left or right so that it can
turn to left or right. You may
need to pulse but not hold the
right lever for easy adjustment.
NOTE: The turning function
depends on the running speed
variation between the left and
right propeller. Please note that
if the jet responds slowly to
your command, you should
throttle up for better
performance.
10. Landing: Turn your jet into the
wind, then throttle down to land.
11. You can operate your jet to do
different actions. The table on
the right gives you a rough idea
of the relationship between the
controller/charger operation and
the jets response.
12. If your jet has minor damage,
you can fix it with pressure
sensitive tape.

ActionLeft Lever Right Lever Elevator
1. You can push the throttle to keep the jet in a slow
steady flight pattern.
2. Always fly your jet as if you were the pilot sitting in
the jet. NOTE: When you fly the jet towards you and
command it to turn right or left, it will turn in the
opposite direction you command.
3. In order to avoid damage while landing in this high
speed jet, push the throttle to minimum while the jet is
about 4 m (13’) to 5 m (16’) above the ground. This
will help the jet to achieve a soft landing to minimize a
hard crash.
4. To prevent other kinds of damage to the jet, always find
a wide-open and grassy area to fly.
5. Properly trimming your jet should make your jet fly straight out in a slight climb.
6. Following the steps below, you can perform the wonderful 3D stunt action.
Fly your jet at about 8 m (26’) above the ground, pushing the left lever stick upward and pushing the right lever stick downward in a very fast action
which will make the jet perform the above 3D stunt action.

7. To take off from the ground you may need to set the jet on a minimum 6 m (19’) long runway. Face the jet into the wind and push the left lever
(Throttle) to the top. The jet will take off from the ground after 3-5 m (10’-16’). Then, push the left lever back to the middle position and control the
right lever to make right or left turns.

1. Remove the broken or spoiled propeller as shown in the photo below.
2. Check the direction of the propeller before inserting a new one.

TROUBLESHOOTING
Propeller won’t move.
The jet turns around and descends after
taking off.
Jet won’t take off or climb.
Jet climbs dramatically, stalls and drops.
The jet does not react, or reacts poorly to
operation by controller/charger.
Loss of control.
PROBLEM
- ON/OFF Switch is OFF.
- Weak Battery.
- Trimmer is not tuned properly.
- Jet doesn’t run to the wind before
taking off.
- Weak power.
- Flying at the wrong elevator angle or
speed.
- Weak power.
- Elevator is pulled back for too long.
- High-frequency interference occurred
near to high-voltage lines, transformers
and some types of building.
- Another radio-controlled R/C Jet
using the same frequency and channel
is operating near your jet.
CAUSE
- Set switch to ON.
- Re-charge the battery pack.
- Adjust the trimmer
- Let the jet run to the wind before taking off.
-Re-charge the battery pack.
- Play for more skills, such as tuning the Throttle Trimmer for
precise power control or stroke (not hold) the left control lever
on controller/charger.
- Re-charge the battery pack.
- Pulse or shorten amount of elevator use.
- Avoid these if possible, or choose another place to operate
the jet.
- Move to another location where there is no interference from
another device.
- Ensure the antenna is fully extended. The jet flies up to
50 m (164’) in an open area.
