Product Usage Instructions

Pre-Flight Checks:
- Check and adjust servo centering for better control surface
  adjustment.
- Double-check the spinning direction of the motor before first
  usage to ensure it’s suitable for your model.
- Set the center of gravity (CG) at the position marked in the
  manual. Add weight to the nose or tail if necessary for optimal
  flight performance.
- Check the inside of the fuselage to ensure all equipment is
  correctly connected.
- Inspect the heat-shrink covering material’s surface and ensure
  all screws, bolts, cabin, and canopy are secure.
- Take care when connecting/disconnecting the battery. Replace
  the battery immediately if low voltage or damage is detected.
- The connection of internal devices in the fuselage depends on
  your transmitter-receiver device. Check your device’s features for
  simplified connection instructions.
- When pairing the power system and transmitter-receiver device
  for the first time, set the maximum stroke of the throttle
  yourself.
Safety Precautions:
- This product is not a toy and should be operated by experienced
  users. Children must be accompanied by an adult at all times when
  operating this product. Not suitable for children under the age of
- Avoid flying around restricted locations such as airports,
  military bases, and residential areas.
- Perform a range check on the transmitter to ensure no
  interference is present.
- Always turn on the transmitter before the receiver and turn off
  the receiver before the transmitter.
- If you are a beginner, seek assistance or advice from advanced
  expert fliers before flying your model.
- Keep relevant items out of reach of children.
- If engaging in high-stress flying, take necessary steps to
  control movement range and reinforce the body strength as you are
  solely responsible for it.
- Some parts of this product may cause eye and skin discomfort
  due to fiberglass and carbon-fiber reinforced plastic. Wear goggles
  or dust-proof clothes when needed.

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.
CG 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.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

V Some special models will have V-tails, flaps, leading edge wings, etc., which can be used as a reference for conventional flight angles. If you do not confirm and there is no experienced person to guide you, we recommend that you first test at a small angle to confirm that your settings are correct.

When using an oil-powered engine, it maybe necessary to counterweight the head of the airplane, and the oil tank is placed at the center of gravity.

When using the electric motor,the center of gravity can be adjusted by adjusting the position of the battery.
