and receiver may NOT be changed. Attempting to do so is a violation
of FCC (Federal Communications Commission) law and will render
your radio unusable! Contact our service center if you think there
may be a problem with your radio or should you need to change the
frequency. There is an auto-shutoff feature in the aircraft that allows
both the radio system and the motor to be powered from the same
battery pack. When the battery pack starts to run low, it will
automatically shut off the motor, while leaving enough reserve
power for the radio (about 3-4 minutes) to control the servos and
glide in for a safe landing. Land the plane as soon as possible when
the power runs out.
NOTE: The four switches at the
bottom right of the transmitter are
Servo Reversers. They enable this
transmitter to work with other RC
Aircraft. They are factory preset to the
correct position.

The Battery Pack

The battery pack included with the Freedom Flyer (see Figure 8) is made
up of NiMH (nickel-metal-hydride) rechargeable cells. These are very
different from regular dry cell batteries! With proper care and charging
methods, these packs can be charged and used hundreds of times before
they need to be replaced.
Important: The Freedom Flyer uses a special battery with polarized
connectors. Do not use any battery pack for this aircraft other than
original Megatech™ equipment. Use of any other battery pack may
cause damage to the aircraft and void your warranty!
