Safety Precautions Your airplane should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated working model that functions very much like a full - size airplane. Because of its perfor- mance capabilities, the plane, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage property.
Kit Contents Assemble The Plane 1. Install the servo horn of the vertical and horizontal tail by screw. 2. Cut the foam of the hole in the end of the tail.

4. Insert the horizontal tail to the 5. Fix the tail by a long corres- corresponding gap of the tail. ponding screw. 6. Connect the push rod wire with the control surface of the vertical and horizontal tail by the clevis. 7.

Install the ailron(4-CH) 8. Install the servo horn of the aileron by screw. 9. Connect the push rod to the servon horn and make sure the aileron are balance. 10. The plane fully assembled as shown in the figure.

Centering the Control Surfaces With the transmitter turned on and the LiPo flight battery connected to the ESC ( and installed in the battery compartment) it’s now possible to conn- ect the pushrods to the rudder and elevator control surfaces and to ‘center’ the surfaces accordingly.

If the rudder is angled off to the left carefully remove the clevis from the control horn and screw it ‘in’(clockwise) one half to one full turn then insert the pin back into the outermost hole in the control horn. Or, if the rudder is angled off to the right carefully remove the clevis from the control horn and screw it ‘out’...
Center of Gravity 40 5 mm The ideal C.G.position is 40±5 mm behind the leading edge measured at where the wing meets the fuselage . The C.G. has a GREAT ef- fect on the way of the model flight. If the C.G. is too far aft ( tail heavy ), the model will be too responsive and difficult to control.

Batter y War nings IMPORTANT NOTE: Lithium Polymer LiPo) batteries are significantly more vola- tile than the alkaline , NiCd and NiMH batteries also used in RC applications. All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly to prevent property damage and/ or personal injury as mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire.

• Store the battery partially charged (approximately 50% charged/3.85V per cell), at room temperature (approximately 68–77° Fahrenheit [F] ) and in a dry area for best results. • When transporting or temporarily storing the battery, the temperature range should be from approximately 40–100°F. Do not store the battery or model in a hot storage car or direct sunlight whenever possible.
the LiPo battery immediately . Constantly discharging the battery to the soft LVC can still cause permanent damage to the battery so it’s best to use a timer or stop -watch to time the duration of your flights and to stop flying at a reasonable time before the soft LVC is reached.

Control / Servo Reversing The transmitter features control/ servo reversing functionality for the aileron, ele- vator, throttle and rudder channels. The control / servo directions were set correctly at the factory for the plane , however , in case the controls are operating in the wrong direction , or you use the electronics in other models later on, simply change the position of ‘Servo Reverse’...

Check The Control Surface and Channel Condition Before trying to fly the airplane, please carefully check to make sure the transmitter and the servos work normally. CAUTION: Make sure that you must turn on the transmitter firstly and then you can connect the bat- tery plug.

Know Your Frequency Based on the size and weight of the plane it’s typically considered to be a ‘park flyer’ class model. As a result it’s best to fly the plane at a local park, schoolyard, flying field or other area that’s large enough and free of people and obstructions. We rec- ommend an area the size of at least one football/ soccer field, however, even larger areas are better suited and preferred especially when learning how to fly.
Also, if you are a first-time or low - time pilot we highly recommend allowing a more experienced pilot to test fly and properly trim the model before attempting your first flight. A proven flyable and properly trimmed model is significantly easier and more enjoyable to fly! Please contact your local hobby shop and/or flying club to find a more experienced pilot near you.

Know Your Frequency CAUTION: The transmitter used to control your plane transmits signalson one of several frequencies that are available. To find out your frequency (or “channel”), look on the transmitter, If your “channel” happens to be the same as another model that is being flown nearby (even within a few miles), one or both models will crash.

If the controls respond erratically or if anything else seems wrong, make certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the receiver and that the transmitter and receiver batteries are fully charged. If you cannot finda mechanical problem with the model , it is slightly possible that there is radio interference somew- here in the area.

If the surface is smooth ( such as paverment or blacktop) the plane can take off from the ground. But most grass is probably too tall, so if flying from grass the model will have to be hand launched. ROG (rise off ground) Take off If taking off from the ground, place the model on your “...

Flying One thing to remember is that, when the plane is flying away from you, moving the aileron stick to the right will make the plane bank to your right. However, when the model is flying toward you, moving the aileron stick to the right will make the plane move to your left.
Landing To land, fly down - wind past the landing area. Gently turn into the wind, add flaps and reduce the throttle so that the airplane initiates an ascending glide path. If nec- essary, add power to extend the glide path to reach the runway. As the model ap- proaches and loses altitude, gradually and proportionally add “...
