Flight Preparation
Make sure that batteries in your transmitter are fresh and the antenna is extended all the
way up. This will ensure full range for your aircraft. lf you notice the plane is going to crash,
cut throttle immediately. This will minimize damage.
Flight adjustment
1. SPITFIRE will fly better with fully-charged batteries.
2. Keep flight straight: when you find it is difficult to fly straightly, please adjust the trim
on the transmitter. For example, when you find SPITFIRE always fly leftward please push
the trim on the transmitter in versedirection---right, as this will move the rudder to
compensate.
3. Keep flight horizontal: when you find it is difficult to fly SPITFIRE straightly, please
adjust the trim on the transmitter. For example, when you find it always fly upward; please
push the trim on the transmitter toward the top, as this will adjust the position of the
elevator.
Flight attention
1. Never fly in strong wind.
2. Do not fly at any place where another same-frequency model is flying.
3. Taking off:
Always take off toward the wind
lf you want to launch SPITFIRE by hands, maximize the power(including the micro
adjustment)and run several meters to accelerate yourself, at last throw it horizontally.
lf you want to launch SPITFIRE on the ground, maximize the power and let it accelerate,
keep it running straightly, after it runs more than 60 feet, you can pull the elevator joy stick,

(6) Do not attempt to catch the SPITFIRE while flying, please do not touch propeller.
(7) Never leave this system unattended around children with battery in the unit, as injury
may be caused due to children's turning on the transmitter or the plane.
(8) During the preparation for the flight, please remember to turn on the transmitter before
connecting the battery pack.
(9) Close the throttle on the transmitter before connecting battery otherwise the motor may
operate

4. Course: you need only 30% of the maximum power to keep SPITFIRE flying. lt is a
good idea to fly with power for a while and glide for a while .
In this way You can increase your maximum flight time and familiarize yourself with
landing approaches.
5. Landing: Before landing, switch off the power, fly toward the wind, and when SPITFIRE
flies near to the ground, you may pull the elevator joystick and it will land gently. It really
needs practice, although it sounds easy. it may be difficult for yo until you do this many
times.
