Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
Prefl ight Checklist
1.
Charge fl ight battery.
2.
Install fl ight battery in the aircraft
(once it has been fully charged).
3.
Bind aircraft to your transmitter.
4.
Make sure linkages move freely.
5.
Perform Control Direction Test with
the transmitter.
6.
Set dual rates
7.
Adjust center of gravity.
8.
Perform a radio system Range
Check.
9.
Find a safe and open area.
10.
Plan fl ight for fl ying fi eld conditions.
When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per
cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC
protects the fl ight battery from over-discharge using
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge
decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied
to the motor. Power to the motor quickly decreases
and increases, showing that some battery power is
reserved for fl ight control and safe landing.
When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft
immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the
aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully
charge your Li-Po battery before storing it. During
storage, make sure battery charge does not fall
below 3V per cell.
Tip:
Due to the quiet nature of the aircraft, you may
not hear the pulsing of the motor.
For your fi rst fl ights, set your transmitter timer or a
stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer
or shorter fl ights once you have fl own the aircraft.
Flights of 6 minutes or more are achievable if using
proper throttle management.
NOTICE:
Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage
the battery.
Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale
and unique aircraft with the kind of performance
experts appreciate. Now the exclusive Artificial
Stability – 3 aXis (AS3X) system helps take
performance expectations in ultra micro aircraft a
quantum leap higher.
Based on the successful use of MEMS sensor
technology within the AS3X Stabilization System
essential to Blade
®
ultra micro flybarless
helicopters, the specifically tuned AS3X System
for airplanes helps invisibly correct for turbulence,
torque and tip stalls when encountered.
Furthermore, the outstanding control agility delivers
an ultra smooth, locked-in feel that obeys your
every command with performance that’s natural
feeling. It’s so gratifying, in fact, that it’s as though
you’re the RC pilot of an expertly tuned,
giant-scale aircraft.
AS3X will change the way you’ll want to fly now and
in the future. To see what we mean, go to
