Page 10: Low Voltage Cutoff
step2 Low voltage cut off (LVC) WhenaLi-Poisdischarged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The ESC protects the flight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff. Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power from motor in two ways: (1) Reduces power - ESC reduces motor power (recommended), (2) Hard cutoff - ESC instantly cuts motor power when the pre-set Low Voltage Protection Threshold value is reached. -

Page 20: Before The Model Flying
Before the model flying 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, a site at least the size of two to three football fields should be adequate– a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best. -
