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
lever 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.
FLYING THE AIRCRAFT
1. Once all setup procedures have been confi rmed, and power has been
removed from the model and transmitter, re-attach the propeller to the model.
IMPORTANT:
Be very careful to stay clear
from moving propellers!!
2. Make sure the glow engine fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, or
power batteries for electric airplanes are fully charged.
3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum position, 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 aileron, elevator,
and rudder channels to allow the airplane to sustain smooth, even fl ight. If
further adjustments are required on the ground, make sure to turn off the
engine or ESC/motor before making such adjustments.
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.
