1. If you have not already done so, insert the antenna
into the top of the transmitter and tighten with your
hands (do not use pliers or any other tool).
❏
2. Install eight “AA” alkaline batteries in the back of
the transmitter and then replace the battery cover.
Note:
Alkaline batteries are preferred over rechargeable
batteries because alkalines have a higher voltage.

3. Center the rudder and elevator trim levers. Move the
rudder servo reversing switch
to the
up
position and the
elevator servo reversing switch
to the
down
position.
❏
4. Move the throttle lever on the transmitter all the
way to the left (when viewing the transmitter from the
front), to the
off
position.
❏
5. Switch on the transmitter. Check the battery
condition. Both the red and green lights should glow.
When the green light becomes dark the batteries are too
low and the model should not be flown. If the green
light becomes dark while flying, land the plane
immediately or loss of control may result.
IMPORTANT!!! ALWAYS
reduce the throttle lever and
turn on the transmitter
before
plugging in the battery.
Similarly,
NEVER
plug in the battery before reducing
the throttle lever and turning on the transmitter.
