PRE-FLIGHT NOTES
• The transmitter is always first to be turned ON, and the last to be turned OFF.
• Check to make sure the red power LED on the transmitter is glowing, if it is not, change
the transmitter batteries.
• Check to make sure the directional and throttle controls are working properly.
LAUNCHING YOUR INTERCEPTOR
1) Turn ON the transmitter first, and then turn ON the Interceptor.
2) Extend the transmitter antenna fully.
3) Grip the Interceptor underneath the fuselage directly
beneath the center of the main wing, using your thumb
and pointing finger.
4) Move the throttle control stick forward to ²/₃ power.
5) Keeping the wings as level as possible, gently toss
the Interceptor into the air like a dart. (That is, with the nose pointing straight and
level, not pointing up or down.) The Interceptor will begin to climb upon release.
Keep in mind that you will have to cut back on the throttle control stick a little, once
the Interceptor is tossed into the air, so that it does not stall or accidentally loop
on takeoff. After practice, you will notice that the Interceptor will fly without much
throttle control input.
TIPS ON CONTROL STICK MOVEMENTS AND TRIM ADJUSTMENTS
• Keep your control stick movements smooth, not abrupt or "jerky". The Interceptor
will actually fly all by itself and light control stick movements are all that you need to
fly your Interceptor. Full quick control stick movements will be needed for flying in
smaller areas or for aerobatic maneuvers. Just remember, smooth and gentle inputs!
• After launching the Interceptor, allow the aircraft to fly directly away from you and
gain a desired altitude prior to making your first turn. If the Interceptor turns with no
control input, correct the flight path by gently moving the directional control stick
in the appropriate direction. If trimming the Interceptor for level and stable flight
is needed, adjust the directional control trim button next to the directional control
stick. Adjust the trim accordingly so that the Interceptor naturally flies straight. For
example, if the Interceptor is drifting slightly to the right then press the trim button
