7.
Perform a range check as explained on page 22.
8.
Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut down power in the aircraft
fi rst. Otherwise, the aircraft could become out of control and cause a safety hazard! Move the throttle
stick and throttle trim to minimum position to stop the glow engine or shut down the ESC. Once the
propeller has stopped rotating, shut off the ON/OFF power switch in the model, and disconnect the
power battery from the ESC in electric airplanes. Then turn off the power switch in the Tx.
1.
Once all setup procedures have been confi rmed, and power has been removed from the model and
transmitter, prepare the model for fl ight.
IMPORTANT:
Be very careful to stay clear from moving propellers and blades!!
2.
Make sure the glow engine fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, or power batteries for electric
models are fully charged.
3.
Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum position, and then turn on the Tx power switch. Turn on the
power switch in the model or connect the fl ight battery.
4.
During the fi rst fl ight, it might be necessary to re-trim the main channels to allow the model to sustain
smooth, even fl ight. If further adjustments are required on the ground, make sure to turn off the engine
or ESC/motor beforehand.
5.
When the fl ight is completed, remove power from the system as described before. Shut down power
to the electronic speed control or glow engine fi rst, then the receiver, and fi nally the transmitter.
●
NEVER allow water or moisture to make contact with the electronic components inside the
transmitter, receiver, servos, switch harness, etc.! This could lead to failure or improper
functionality of components and poor control of aircraft which could pose a safety hazard.
●
NEVER operate R/C model aircraft near power lines, radio or cell phone towers, roads or automobiles,
buildings, or pedestrians. Be very careful in locations where many R/C aircraft are being used simultaneously.
●
NEVER operate R/C equipment if you are physically impaired as it could pose a safety hazard to yourself
or others in the area.
●
NEVER allow small children to operate/control model R/C equipment without the supervision of an adult.
●
NEVER allow the transmitter’s throttle stick to accidentally be moved away from the “off” or minimum
position while the model’s engine/motor is moving.
●
ALWAYS range check the radio system before use.
●
ALWAYS make sure that all transmitter stick movements operate all servos properly in the model. Check
the proper operation of control surfaces before and after starting the engine/motor.
●
ALWAYS make sure the transmitter antenna is unfolded entirely so that it’s pointing upright to ensure
max. range and control of the aircraft.
●
Do not store your radio equipment in extremely hot or cold locations, in direct sunlight, or in locations
with high humidity. Store R/C equipment in cool and dry locations.
