Warnings and Safety
1. Avoid damage to property and injury. Read and
follow this manual and included video completely,
observing all instructions and safety directions.
Think safety first.
2. Keep clear of the propeller, even when it isn't
spinning, as it could be turned on by accident.
Beware of hair becoming entangled in the propeller,
especially while launching the Aerobird Xtreme™
on a windy day, or injury may occur.
3. Do not fly when it's too windy or you may lose
control and crash, causing injury or damage. Never
fly the Aerobird Xtreme near people, vehicles, train
tracks, buildings, power lines, water, hard surfaces
or trees. Never allow any one to attempt to catch
the Aerobird Xtreme while it's in flight or serious
injury can result.
4. Adult supervision is recommended for ages 14
and under.
5. Battery Charging: Only use a battery charger
intended for use with the Aerobird Xtreme battery.
Never leave charger unattended while charging.
This will help prevent overcharging. While
charging, place the battery on a heat resistant
surface. Do not lay it on carpet or upholstery while
charging. Never charge the battery for more than
three hours.
6. Never cut into the wires on the battery charger or
airplane as serious injury can occur. Causing the
battery to "short out" (crossing negative and
positive bare wires) can cause fire, serious injury
and damage.
7. Hold the plane securely, and keep all body parts
away from the propeller when the flight battery is
plugged in. When you finish flying the Aerobird
Xtreme, always unplug the battery before you turn
off the transmitter.
8. Never fly on the same frequency as another RC
vehicle in your area. The frequency of the Aerobird
Xtreme is shown on stickers on the back of the
transmitter.
1. If you happen to crash and part of the foam
wing or tail breaks, it can be repaired using
packing tape to cover missing pieces.
2. If damage is severe or if wing or tail is bent,
replace damaged parts immediately. See
page 39 for a complete replacement parts list.
3. If the soft nose is dislodged, it can be re-attached
with silicone glue, or two sided tape.
IMPORTANT: Control Alignment
Tail flaps must be level or nearly level with no slack
in the control lines or the plane will not
fly well. See pages 10-11 if adjustment
is necessary.
