Charging the Battery

CAUTlON: Once charging is complete, immediately remove the battery. Never leave a battery connected to the charger.

1. Insert the charger into a USB port.
2. Properly connect the battery to the charger.
3. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 500 mAh battery takes approximately 30-40 mins.
4. The LED Solid Red means charging, the LED off means charging is complete.

Installing the Battery

The transmitter comes pre-bound to the aircraft, so binding should not be necessary.
Keep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources or other transmitters while installing the battery.
CAUTION:

• Before flying, power on the transmitter first, then power on the plane. After flying, power off the plane first, then power off the transmitters.
• Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver when not flying to avoid overdischarging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged.
• Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the  propeller in response to any throttlemovement.

Transmitter Batteries Installation

Remove the battery cover. lnstall the four batteries (noting proper polarity) and reinstall the battery cover.
Transmitter Low Battery Alarm
When the battery transmitter voltage drops too low, an alarm sounds (D.B.D.B ). The batteries must be replaced immediately. If this happens while flying, land your aircraft as soon as possible.
Transmitter LED Indicator
The radio will have acoustic timing per minutes, so you will hear “B.B.B” in every 1 minute.
After 10 minutes, it will keep “B.B.B. B.B.B” every 1 minute. This will help you know how long you have flown.

flashing.
Aircraft voltage| When aircraft voltage is less than 3.3V, you will feel the plane is losing powered. You can still fly for another 2 minutes, which will give you the time to land the plane.
Control rate| 1 beep means Beginner Mode (Low rate).
2 beeps means Expert Mode (High rate).
Flight Mode| 1 beep means 6G Mode.
2 beeps means 3D Mode.
3 beeps means Manual Mode.
When you power on the radio, it is in 6G Mode as a default setting.

Flying Tips

• Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
• The built-in Flight Controller System is designed as flight assistance, NOT AN AUTOPILOT.
• Start in Beginner mode. As you learn and become more confident, change modes to advance your flying skills.
• Always make deliberate and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft.
• Fly your aircraft outside in no greater than light winds.
• Indoor flight is not recommended.
• Keep your aircraft in plain sight and up wind.
• Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires, and buildings.
• Always avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schools or playing fields.

Included in the Box

1x airplane
1 x transmitter (Not include in FTR version)
1 x USB charger
1 x landing gear set
1 x spare parts bag
1 x manual
1 x screwdriver
1 x battery

Installation:

Different Flight Modes
6G Mode (with self leveling): Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne. Release both sticks for self-leveling.

3D Mode: The pilot is only prevented from entering extreme flight conditions.

Manual Mode: Unlimited Flight Capability

LOITER function:

Press LOITER button, the plane will keep circling in a 20m diameter circle in any altitude when you press the button. Throttle / Rudder will not de-trigger the Loiter, but moving the Ailerons / Elevator stick will de-trigger the Loiter.

Binding Procedure
Power on the plane, the LED in the Control board will flash, then power on the transmitter, if the LED in the Control board change to solid, means the binding was finished. If the LED in the Control board is still flashing, means the binding failed, please do the above mentioned procedure again. Note: if the throttle stick is not in the lowest position (0 position) when you are binding, you have to move the throttle stick back to lowest position then move it to the top, and then back to the bottom, and then the throttle will be enabled.
Binding Procedure for “Mini SFHSS Sbus Receiver”
For FTR version the Sbus Receiver is pre-plugged into the control board, if you use other SFHSS radio instead of the existing radio, follow below steps:

1. Power on the control board.
2. Press the black button in the Sbus Receiver for 2 seconds; it’s LED will flash quick.
3.  Power on the SFHSS radio, if the Sbus Receiver LED stops flashing, means the binding was finished.

Take off
Hand Launch
Use the 6G mode for takeoff in first flights. Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on flying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the Aircraft in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand.

Ground Launch

• Take off from a hard and level runway.
• Use the rudder control to keep the aircraft rolling straight.
• Turn the aircraft only after it is high off the ground.

Flying
In 6G mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without use of the elevator stick.

• Try to fly the first few times for about 6 minutes to know more about the flying capability.
• If the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.
• Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do when learning to fly. To practice piloting the aircraft, try flying in large circles high off the ground.

Landing
Fly to your runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Bring the aircraft down by lowering the throttle to 25%. Near the ground, fully lower the throttle and pull back on the steering stick.
CAUTION: Never catch a flying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.![Skynetic SKY1054-001 Micro Plane
