Step 5 – Flying your Ember 2

Step 6 – Hand Launching the Ember 2

Selecting a Flying Site

Always choose a wide-open space for flying your ParkZone Ember 2.
It is ideal for you to fly in an indoor location with a floor area of 40’x40’
and a minimum ceiling height of 20 feet. We suggest that first flights are
done in a larger area, such as a basketball court or gymnasium. 

If you choose to make your flights outdoors, the conditions MUST be
COMPLETELY CALM. The Ember 2 weighs less than 1 ounce and can
easily be blown away. If you choose to fly outdoors, remember to always
keep the plane upwind from you to avoid flyaways. 

Make certain that you do not fly near trees, buildings or other areas that 
can restrict your view or interfere with your flying.

Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio Control Pilot

VERY IMPORTANT

The 3-channel control system is designed for the experienced radio
control pilot and is not intended for the first time flier. It is best to have 
HobbyZone Zone 2 experience. First-time pilots of the ParkZone  
Ember 2 should seek the assistance of an experienced RC pilot. Crash
damage is not covered under the warranty.

1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Plug in the aircraft battery.

4. Test the motor and surface controls.

5.  While holding the transmitter in one hand, push the throttle stick to 

full throttle (up) with your thumb.

6.   Launch using light force. Keep the wings level. Do not throw it up 

or down. Point it level (parallel) with the ground when releasing.

Step 7 – Runway Takeoff

1.  Prior to attempting a runway takeoff, you should have had several 

successful flights of hand launching the Ember 2.

2. Make certain the aircraft battery is fully charged.

3. Turn on the transmitter.

4. Plug in the aircraft battery.

5.  Stand behind the Ember 2. Make certain you are on a smooth  

surface such as concrete or wood.

6.  Apply full throttle and adjust the left stick so that you keep your 

Ember 2 on its intended path.

7.  If the battery is fully charged, you should be able to lift off the 

ground in a few feet. As you notice the back of the plane beginning 

to lift a bit off the ground, apply some “up” elevator by pulling back 

on the right stick. Do not give too much “up” elevator, or you can 

cause the airplane to enter into a stall.
