Charging the Flight Battery Protection Function 1. Reverse connection protection of input 2. Reverse connection protection of output 3. Short circuit protection of output 4. Over voltage protection of output Troubleshooting 1. Power LED does not shine – Adapter isn’t connected correctly. Please check the polarity and reconnect adapter.
Low voltage cut off (LVC) WhenaLi-Poisdischarged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff. Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power from motor in two ways: (1) Reduces power - ESC reduces motor power (recommended), (2) Hard cutoff - ESC instantly cuts motor power when the pre-set Low Voltage Protection Threshold value is reached.

Important ESC and model information 1. The ESC included with the Beechcraft has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position.
Get your model ready to fly The transmitter and model setup Before getting started, bind your receiver with your transmitter. Please refer to your Transmitter Manual for proper operation. CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, DO NOT install the propeller assembly onto the motor shaft while testing the control surfaces .

Get your model ready to fly Install the tear drop mass weight Connect the flying wires 1. Glue the two pieces tear drop mass 1. Thread the nylon wire through the eyelets weight to the notch under the elevator on top of the lower wing and cut the wire as the picture shows.
Get your model ready to fly Check the C.G. (Center of Gravity) Center of Gravity When balancing your model, adjust the motor battery as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose down. This the correct balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted for your personal preference.
Before the model flying Find a suitable flying site Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be required and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields – a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best.
While applying power slowly steer to keep the model straight, the model should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight speed, you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. The Beechcraft will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA). Flying Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane.
