Pre-Flight
1) Before flying this model, check that the model is assembled per this manual and is free
from any damage that may have occured during transport.
2) Insert flight battery and check for proper center of gravity. Secure battery with velcro on
the bottom of pack and velcro strap around it. If the battery shifts in flight it could cause a
loss of control.
3) Ensure that pushrods and control surfaces move freely with no binding. For best
results, disconnect pushrods and flex the surfaces by hand to free up the hinges. Recon-
nect control rods prior to first flight.
4) After turning On the transmitter and connecting the flight battery, perform a full range
test and finally, check control direction per the guide on previous page.
5) Conduct a full power test. If there are excess vibration, inspect the propeller for
damage or a bent propeller shaft.
6) Inspect your flight location, making sure it is free from trees, vehicles, people, or other
obstructions before taking off.
7) Set timer on your transmitter for 10 minutes for your first few flights. Check capacity of
battery used on these flights and adjust your timer accordingly.
8) Apply power smoothly and launch model with a firm forward toss. Allow airspeed to
build sufficiently before applying up elevator. Failure to do so may result in loss of control.
Fly on low rate for first flight until you are comfortable with the model.
9) Test how the model reacts during a stall at a high altitude before committing to landing.
Reduce power, apply up elevator to induce a stall. Upon the stall break, release elevator,
apply power and recover.
10) For landing, reduce power, using the elevator to control the pitch attitude, and use
power to control your descent rate. Cut power to motor before touch down to prevent
propeller strikes.
11) Test fly the model line of sight before attempting to fly it FPV.
12) Always use a spotter when flying FPV in case of video transmission trouble.
