Service and Repair
Thanks to the Z-Foam™ material in the wing and fuselage
of this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be made using
virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA [cyanoacrylate
adhesive], epoxy, etc).
When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement
Parts List for ordering by item number. For a listing of all
replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back
of this manual.
CAUTION:
DO NOT handle a propeller, motor or
ESC while the flight battery is connected to the
ESC. Personal injury could result.
Disassembly
1. Remove the spinner (
A
) by carefully pulling it away from
the propeller (
B
).
2. Hold the motor shaft (
C
) in place, then pull the propeller
from the motor shaft.
3. Remove 3 screws (
D
) from the motor cowling under the
wing.
4. Remove the cowling (that contains the motor) from the
wing. Paint may keep the cowling attached to the wing.
5. Remove 2 screws (
E
) from the front of the cowling that
secures the motor.
6. Disconnect the motor wires from the ESC wires.
7. Remove the motor (
F

Prolong Battery Life
1. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) pulses the power to the motors
when the voltage gets low. When the motors pulse, land
the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
2. The aircraft can fly as recommended for approximately
8 minutes on one battery charge. Set a timer or
stopwatch to let you know when it is time to land.
However, if the motor begins to pulse (hits LVC), land
immediately.
NOTICE:
Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
