Brief Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our T1800 glider from Top RC Hobby , and we hope this plane will bring endless joy to you after you choose it.

• It is very easy to assemble in several minutes and the wings are removable, very easy to carry and maintain.
• Both the wings and fuselage are reinforced with 9.0MM aluminum tubes to improve the flight strength of the entire flight.
• This aircraft adopts the traditional T-shaped tail and upper wing design to ensure the glide performance and stability of the entire aircraft. It is suitable for beginners and intermediate consumers.
• Adopting a 10-inch folding propeller design, makes it look very beautiful and enables it flight more efficiently and it can also protect the propeller from landing damage.
• Large battery compartment design enables those 1300-2600MAH batteries to be used in this aircraft and at the same time it can reserve more space for consumers to modify FPV flight.

The batteries are inspected separately. When the voltage reaches 4.20V, the charging process stops.

Operating

1. Then plug cigarette into its socket in car (Adapter should be connected if charge at home: connect the adapter to home power socket, then plug the adapter’ DC end to charger). The LED will turn green indicating it is ready for charging.
2. Connect the battery to charger per its interface mark. The LED becomes red, which means charging is on the way.
3. When LED flashing, the charger will enter the stage of drip current charging. The LED turns green when fully charged , and the battery
   will be used at any time.

Notice

1. While charging is in process, please do not make it near flammable materials.
2. Expect a Li-poly battery, this charger is not allowed for other kinds of batteries.

Troubleshooting guide

Strict ground inspections must be done before each flight, which can effectively avoid flight accidents.

1. Check if the screws of the whole airplane are installed in place or not, the servo arms and horns are connected reliable or not and the wings fixing are locked or not.
2. Install the battery and adjust the aircraft’s center of gravity to the recommended position in the manual.
3. Make sure the power battery, remote control transmitter battery, etc. are fully charged and in a reliable working condition.
4. gently push the throttle to check if the propeller is turning correctly or not.
5. After all checks are completed, the flight can be started. The first flight for beginners needs the assistance of experienced enthusiasts to avoid flight accidents due to improper operation.

About flight time

The recommended flight time by the manufacturer is using the battery that we request, and the flight test is completed by experienced enthusiasts on a breezy day. This flight time is related to battery parameters, aircraft weight, flight conditions, and flight methods. Different conditions may result in different flight times. It is recommended that enthusiasts use the “timing function” of the remote control during flight. It is recommended that the initial flight time be set within 4 minutes. When there is a countdown alarm, please land the aircraft and measure the battery voltage. At the end of the battery discharge period, it is forbidden to fly the aircraft into the leeward zone (the far end of the wind direction) to prevent the aircraft from being unable to return safely due to insufficient power.
