Preflight check 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.
Control horn and servo arm settings More control throw Horns Arms 1. The table shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at the factory settings before making changes. Less control throw 2. After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response.
Before flying the model Monitor your flight time Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as a stopwatch or on the transmitter, if available). As modern Lithium Polymer batteries are not designed to discharge completely, when the battery runs low, the ESC will lower then completely cut the power to the motors to protect the battery.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution Lower throttle stick and throttle trim to lowest Aircraft will not respond to ESC is not armed. settings. the throttle but responds to Throttle channel is reversed. other controls. Reverse throttle channel on transmitter. Replace damaged parts. Damaged spinner, propeller, motor or motor mount.
