Motor Test
1. Be sure throttle slider is in the Off position.
2. Turn the transmitter on.
3. Install the battery and plug in the connector.
4. The Aerobird Xtreme’s built-in throttle-arming
feature will not allow the prop to spin until
the throttle slider has been moved to the Off
position first.
5. Keep all objects clear of the propeller, advance the
throttle forward and the propeller will start to turn.
The throttle arming feature will need to be
activated each time the battery pack is plugged
into the airplane. (If the motor does not run,
proceed to Step 5: “Charging the Aircraft Battery”)
6. When finished with the motor test, disconnect the
battery before turning off the transmitter.
During the motor test, make sure to keep everything
clear of the propeller and hold the plane securely. A mov-
ing propeller can cause severe injury. Adult supervision is
strongly recommended for those 14 and under.
Mounting the Landing Gear
1. Insert the landing gear into the slot on bottom
of the fuselage.

Attaching the Wing
1. Center the wing onto the fuselage by
aligning the molded dimples on the trailing edge
of the wing symmetrically with the top of the
fuselage when it is attached.
2. Once you're satisfied that the wing is centered,
attach it to the fuselage using the 6 rubber
bands provided. Stretch two of the rubber
bands from the front to the rear attach points.
Stretch the next two diagonally across the
middle. Stretch the last two rubber bands from
the front to the rear attach points as you did with
the first two. Once the rubber bands are in
place, confirm the wing is securely attached.

Wing and Landing Gear Attachment
Before each flight, make sure the front and trailing edges
of the wing are exactly centered on the fuselage. If the
wing is not centered properly, it is impossible to have
correct flight control.
