Battery and radio installation 1. Pull back on the release button and remove the battery hatch. 2. Apply the loop side (soft side) of the hook and loop tape to the bottom of the battery and the hook side to the battery tray. 3.Install the fully charged battery in the battery compartment with the power supply cable toward the nose end of the plane, and secure using the hook and loop straps.
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 throt- tle 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 your model 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).
Troubleshooting Possible Cause Solution Problem Aircraft will not - Lower throttle stick and throttle - ESC is not armed. respond to the trim to lowest settings. - Throttle channel is reversed. throttle but responds - Reverse throttle channel on to other controls. transmitter.

ESC instruction Wires Connection: The electronic speed controller can be connected to the motor by soldering directly, or with high quality connectors. Always use new connectors, which should be soldered carefully to the cables and insulated with heat shrink tubes. The maximum length of the battery pack wires should be within 6 inches.

Our ESC allows you to program parameters to fit your specific needs: 1. User programmable brake setting (we recommend using brake for only folding props applications) 2. User programmable battery type (LiPo or NiCd/NiMh) 3. User programmable low voltage cutoff setting 4.

5. Timing setup: Automatic / Low / High. * Automatic – ESC automatically determines the optimum motor timing * Low (7-22 deg) – Setting for most 2 pole motors. * High (22-30 deg)-setting for motors with 6 or more poles. In most cases, automatic timing works well for all types of motors.

Using Your New ESC Improper polarity or short circuit will damage the ESC therefore it is your responsibility to double check all plugs for proper polarity and firm fit BEFORE connecting the battery pack. Alert Tones The ESC is equipped with audible alert tones to indicate abnormal conditions at power up. If the ESC can't enter into working mode after powering up, it indicates that you have not setup throttle calibration.

Built-in Intelligent ESC Safety Functions 1. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of ESC exceeds 110 deg C, the ESC will reduce the output power to allow it too cool. 2. Lost Throttle signal protection: The ESC will automatically reduces output power to the motor when it detects a lost of throttle signal for 2 second, a subsequent loss of throttle signal beyond 2 seconds, will cause the ESC automatically to cut power to the motor.

●Never use ruptured or punctured battery cells. ●Never use battery packs that are known to overheat. ●Never short circuit battery or motor terminals. ●Always use proper insulation material for cable insulation. ●Always use proper cable connectors. ●Do not exceed the number of cells or servos specified by the ESC. Wrong battery polarity will damage the ESC and void the warranty.
