1. Locate the transmitter (PIC.01).
2. The transmitter requires eight alkaline “AA” batteries. To install the batteries, remove the battery hatch by
sliding it down and inserting them into place (PIC.02). Be sure to follow the polarity diagram inside the battery
compartment. Reinstall the battery hatch (PIC.03).
C A U T IO N :
(1). Do not use rechargeable (NiCd & NiHy) batteries.
(2). Do not mix old and new batteries.
(3). Do not mix alkaline and standard (carbon zinc) batteries.
3. Switch the transmitter on and check the LED on the front of the
transmitter (PIC.04). If the green LED is on, it is safe to fly. If the
red LED is flashing, install fresh batteries. Also check to make
sure that the batteries are installed correctly.
4. Switch the transmitter off and stand by for later use.

Cautions for SafetyBefore Flying Flying After Flying
Before flying your airplane,
ensure the airfield is spacious
enough. Always fly it outdoors
in safe areas with no debris or
obstacles!
For proper radio handing, re-
fer to it’s instruction manual.
Ensure the spinner and prop-
eller are securely installed.
Switch on the transmitter.
Plug in the battery.
Warning!
Beware of spinning
propeller! With some
electronic speed controllers,
the motor (proprller) starts
spinning as soon as battery
is connected.
Do not fly your airplane on
days with strong winds or
side winds.
If the green LED is on, it is
safe to fly. If the red LED is
flashing install fresh batteries.
Also check to make sure that
the batteries are installed
correctly.
Unplug the battery.
Warning!
Beware of spinning propellers!
Switch off the transmitter.
Don’t use defective propeller.
Batteries and chargers
become hot. Keep away
flammable materials.
Never try to modify battery.
This is very dangerous.
Do not dispose of used
batteries, return them to the
shop.
Do not dispose of batteries in
a fire. They explode and
release harmful materials.

Always land airplane into the
wind. Do not allow people watching
to get too close to rotaing
propeller.
If your airplane does not
function correctly, land it at
once and find out the reason.
Launch your airplane into the
wind.
Ensure the main wing & stabi-
lizer is securely installed.
Move the sticks on your tran-
smitter to ensure that all con-
trols move according to your
input and the way you adjust-
ed them.
Unplug the battery when not
in use.
Remove grime, check the
plane carefully and make sure
no parts have gotten loose or
damaged.
