Battery and radio installation 1. Apply the hook tape to the cable end of the battery (fig 10). 2. Slide the battery into the battery compartment with the power supply cable toward the fore-end of the plane.

Get your model ready to fly Important ESC and model information 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.
Check the control throws The suggested control throw setting for FMS MODEL are as follows (dual rate setting): Tips: On first flight, fly the model in low rate. The first time you use high rates, be sure to fly at low to medium...
Clevis Installation a. Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage. b. Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin into the desired hole in the control horn. c. Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn. Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings The table shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms.
Check the C.G. (Center of Gravity) When balancing your model, adjust the motor battery as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose down. This is the correct balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted for your personal preference.
Before flying the model Find a suitable flying site Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be required and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields - a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best.
Flying course Take off While applying power, slowly steer to keep the model straight. The model should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight speed you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. It will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA).
