Important ESC and model information

1.
The ESC included with the model 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. Once the
throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune
means the ESC has detected the cells of the battery. The count of the beeps equals the cells of the battery. The motor is now
armed and will start when the throttle is moved.
2.
The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct. If for any reason the motor is rotating in the
wrong direction, simply reverse two of the three motor wires to change the direction of rotation.
3.
The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with brake switched off and we recommend that the model be flown
with the brake off. However, the brake could be accidentally switched on if the motor battery is connected to the ESC while the
throttle stick is set at full throttle. To switch the brake off, move the throttle stick to full throttle and plug in the motor battery. The
motor will beep one time. Move the throttle stick to low throttle or the off position. The motor is ready to run and the brake will
be switched off.
4.
Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 22.2V 3300mAh 35C Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the battery
must be at least a 22.2V 3300mAh 35C battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimension and
weight as the 22.2V 3300mAh 35C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without changing the center of gravity significantly.

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. DO NOT arm the ESC and do not turn on the transmitter until the Transmitter Manual instructs you to do so.
TIPS:
Make sure all control sticks on your radio are in the neutral position (rudder, elevator, ailerons) and the throttle is in the
OFF position. Make sure both ailerons move up and down (travel) the same amount.
This model tracks well when the left and right ailerons travel the same amount in response to the control stick.
1.Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure
the aircraft control surface moves correctly. See
diagrams below.
