Introduction The 1400mm Prodigy features quick assembly and stable flight control. A great choice for novice pilots, and also fun for experi- enced pilots. Built with ultralight tough EPO foam, the large wing area and high-winged airframe configuration gives the Prodigy low wing-loading and extraordinary amounts of lift, even at slow speeds.
Model assembly Fuselage installation 1. Lead the two servo wires into front fuselage, and then 2.

Preflight check transmitter and model setup After assembly and prior to your first flight, make sure all control surfaces respond correctly to your transmitter by refer- ring to the diagram below. Control throws The suggested control throw setting for the 1400mm Prodigy are as follows (dual rate setting): Tips: The maiden flight should always be flown using low rates, fly the aircraft until you are famil- iar with its characteristics prior to trying high...
Finding the center of gravity Finding the correct center of gravity is critical in ensuring that the aircraft performs in a stable and responsive manner. Please adjust the weight 70mm-80mm distribution so the aircraft balances in the range stated on the diagram. •...
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.
