1. Make sure the throttle is in the off position and turn on the transmitter.
2. Open the battery hatch on the bottom of the airplane and plug in the flight battery.
3. Install the flight battery into the airplane as shown and close the hatch.
Note: Keep your airplane at a horizontal level when you power it on. This will allow the
airplane to calibrate the gyro system. You can place your airplane either facing up or
upside down to turn on power switch easier. The key is to keep it left-and-right-balanced.
Press dual rate button up/down to gain larger/smaller
steering angle.

Flight Control
If the nose drifts left or right while the
steering stick is at neutral (centered), press
the steering trim buttons as shown in the
chart to the right or left to correct the drift.
The airplane can also be trimmed by
carefully bending the control surfaces
molded into the tail as shown below.
CAUTION: Keep away from the propellers, they will spin up during the control test.
Arm the motors by below steps.
1. Turn the airplane on as shown above.
2. Turn the transmitter on.
3. Arm the motors by first moving the left stick to 100% and
then back down to 0%.
4. Move the sticks on the transmitter to ensure the motors
respond as shown.
Tip: To check the Left and Right turn, keep the throttle at 0%
and note which motor spins. If the motors do not react as
shown, refer to the Binding instructions and Troubleshooting
Guide in this manual.
The airplane relies on motor thrust to climb, descend and turn. Always perform a control test
before flight to ensure the motors are working properly.

Landing
1. Fly downwind and reduce the throttle to 25% to begin the descent.
2. Begin turning towards the runway, heading into the wind.
3. Reduce the throttle to 0% and glide onto the runway.
- If you are going to land short of the runway, add a little throttle to extend the glide.
- If you are going too fast to land, go around and try again.
CAUTION: Never catch a flying
airplane in your hands. Doing so could
cause personal injury and damage to the
airplane.
