PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS

  • Check/adjust servo centering, in order to adjust the control surface better.
  • Double-check the spinning direction of motor at first usage, and sure it’s suitable for your model.
  • Set the center of gravity (CG) at the position that manual already marked out. If necessary, add weight to the nose or tail to ensure the best flight performance.
  • Double-check the inside of the fuselage, make sure all the equipments are correctly connected; Check the heat-shrink covering material’s surface, Make certain all screws, bolts, cabin and canopy remain secure.
  • Take great care when connecting/disconnecting the battery, pls replace the battery immediately once found low voltage or damage to battery.
  • The way the internal devices of the fuselage are connected will be related to your transmitter-receiver device. For those transmitter-receiver devices with more functions, you can simplify the connection of the internal devices of the fuselage. Check your device for details to see if it meets the features you need.
  • When the power system and transmitter-receiver device are paired for the first time, you may need to set the maximum stroke of the throttle. Please set it yourself.
