Get your model ready to fly

Important ESC and model information

  1. The ESC included with the model has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the
    throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps. Several beeps with the same tune means the ESC has detected the cells of the battery. The count of the beeps equals the cells of the battery. The motor is now
    armed and will start when the throttle is moved.

  2. The motor and ESC come pre-connected and the motor rotation should be correct. If for any reason the motor is rotating in the wrong direction, simply reverse two of the three motor wires to change the direction of rotation.

  3. The motor has an optional brake setting. The ESC comes with brake switched off and we recommend that the model be flown with the brake off. However, the brake could be accidentally switched on if the motor battery is connected to the ESC while the throttle stick is set at full throttle. To switch the brake off, move the throttle stick to full throttle and plug in the motor battery. The motor will beep one time. Move the throttle stick to low throttle or the off position. The motor is ready to run and the brake will be switched off.

  4. Battery Selection and Installation. We recommend the 14.8V 2600-3300mAh 35C Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the battery must be at least a 14.8V 2600-3300mAh 35C battery. Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimension and weight as the 14.8V 2600-3300mAh 35C Li-Po battery to fit the fuselage without changing the center of gravity significantly.

Transmitter and model setup
Before getting started, bind your receiver with your transmitter.Please refer to your transmitter manual for proper operation.
CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, DO NOT install the propel ler assembly onto the motor shaft while testing the control surfaces. DO NOT arm the ESC and do not turn on the transmitter until the Transmitter Manual instructs you to do so.
Tips: Make sure all control sticks on your radio are in the neutral position (rudder, elevator, ailerons) and the throttle is in the OFF position. Make sure both ailerons move up and down (travel) the same amount. This model tracks well when the left and right ailerons travel the same amount in response to the control stick. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surface moves correctly. See diagrams right.

Control throws

The suggested control throw setting for this airplane are as follows (dual rate setting):
Tips: On the first flight, fly the model in low rate.
The first time you use high rates,be sure to fly at low to medium speeds. High rate, as listed, is only for EXTREME maneuvering.

| High Rate| Low Rate
---|---|---
Elevator| 30mm up / dowm| 20mm up / dowm
Aileron| 25mm up / dowm| 18mm up / dowm
Rudder| 70mm left / right| 40mm left / right

Control horn and servo arm settings

The table shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at the factory settings before making changes.
After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response.

| Horns| Arms
---|---|---
Elevator| |
Rudder| |
Ailerons| |
More control throw

Less control throw

Check the C.G. (Center of gravity)

When balancing your model, adjust the battery as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose down. This is the correct balance point for your model. After the first flight, the CG position can be adjusted for your personal preference.

  1. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your model is(85-90mm) from the leading edge of the main wing (as shown) with the battery pack installed. Mark the location of the CG on top of the wing.
  2. When balancing your model, support the plane at the marks made on the bottom of the main wing with your fingers or a commercially available balancing stand. This is the correct balance point for your model. Make sure the model is assembledand ready for flight before balancing.Fms MAN-G0054 Planes for Adults Remote Control Airplane - gravity

Before flying the model

Find a suitable flying site
Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be required and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields – a flying
field specifically for R/C planes is best.
Never fly near people – especially children, who can wander unpredictably.
Perform the range check for your plane
As a precaution, an operational ground range test should be performed before the first flight each time you go out. Performing a range test is a good way to detect problems that could cause loss of control such as low batteries, defective or damaged radio comp onents, or radio interference. This usually requires an assistant and should be done at the actual flying site you will beusing.
First turn on the transmitter, then install a fully-charged battery into the fuselage. Connect the battery and install the hatch.
Remember, use care not to bump the throttle stick. Otherwise,the propeller/fan will turn and possibly cause damage or injury.
Note: Please refer to your Transmitter Manual that came with your radio control system to perform a ground range check. If the controls are not working correctly or if anything seems wrong, do not fly the model until you correct the problem. Make certain all the servo wires are securely connected to the receiver and the transmitter batteries have a good connection.

Monitor your flight time
Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as on a wristwatch or in your transmitter if available). When the batteries are getting low you will usually notice a performancedrop before the ESC cuts off motor power, so when the plane starts flying slower you should land. Often (but not always) power can be briefly restored after the motor cuts off by holding the throttle stick all the way down for a few seconds.To avoid an unexpected dead-stick landing on your first flight,set your timer to a conservative 4 minutes. When your alarm sounds you should land right away.

Flying course

Take off
While applying power, slowly steer to keep the model straight.The model should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight speed you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. It will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA).
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at an approved site always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. Consult laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. After takeoff, gain some altitude. Climb to a safe height before trying technical manoeuvres, including high speed passes, inverted flight, loops, and point rolls.
Landing
Land the model when you hear the motor pulsing (LVC) or if you notice a reduction in power. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you have enough flight time to make several landing approaches.
The model’s three point landing gear allows the model to land on hard surfaces. Align model directly into the wind and fly down to the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using 1/4-1/3 throttle to keep enough energy for proper flare. Before the model touches down, always fully decrease the throttle to avoid damaging the propeller or other components. The key to a great landing is to manage the power and elevator all the way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear. After a few flights you will find the model can be set downlightlyon the mains and you can hold the nose wheel off balancing themodel on the mains until it slows and gently settles the nose.

Maintenance
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives such as hot glue, foam safe CA, and 5min epoxy. When parts are not repairable, see the Spare Parts List for ordering by item number.
Always check to make sure all screws on the aircraft are tightened. Pay special attention to make sure the spinner is firmly in place before every flight.

PROG RAMMING ITEMS(The option written in bold font is the default setting)

  1. SMR Function: OFF/ON
    This function supports switching the motor rotation to decelerate when the airplane landing to the ground.
    The factory default is OFF, the 1Pin signal wire is completely invalid at this time.
    If you need to turn it on , using Phone App or transmitter to programit “ON”,plug the 3 pin signal wire into the throttle channel, and plug the 1Pin signal wire into any 2-stage switch channel of the receiver, then turn on the transmitter 2-stage switch. The SMR function is turned on now, you can change the forward and reverse directions of the motor by flipping the 2-stage switch of the transmitter.
    Warning: This function can only be effective when the throttle is below 50%, and it is only allowed to be used when the airplane is landing on the ground, otherwise it may cause the ESC to burn!

  2. Brake Type: OFF/Soft/Mid/Hard

  3. Timing: Auto /Low/Mid/High(5°/15°/25°)

  4. Motor Rotation: CW/CCW

  5. SR function: ON/OFF The synchronous rectification function makes ESC with higher driving efficiency and more energy-saving.

  6. Battery cells: Auto /2S/3S/4S/5S/6S

  7.  Low Voltage Cutoff Threshold: OFF/NIMH50%/NIMH60%/ 3.0V /3.2V/
    3.4V/3.6VFor example: using 3 lithium batteries and setting 3.0V as the low voltage cutoff value, then the low voltage protection threshold is: 3*3.0 = 9.0V

  8. Low Voltage Cutoff Type: Reduce Power/Cut Off Power Reduced power: When the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold, the ESC will reduce power to 70%.
    Cut Off power: When the voltage drops to the set low-voltage protection threshold, the ESC will cut off the power immediately.

  9. 40A、50A、60A、80A、100A ESCs have adjustable SBEC 5V/6V, the default set is 5.0V

  10. Acceleration: Normal/Soft

PROTECTION FUNCTION

  1. Start-up protection: If the motor fails to start normally within 2 seconds after pushing the throttle to start, the ESC will cut off the output power, and you need to make the throttle calibration again, then ESC can be restarted. Possible reasons:  isconnection
    or poor connection between ESC and motor, the propeller or motor is blocked by other objects, the gearbox is damaged, etc.)

  2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over about 110℃, the ESC will automatically reduce the output power for protection, but will not fully shut down the power, reduce it to 70% of the full power at most to ensure the motor has enough power to avoid crashes.

  3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if throttle signal is lost for 1 second, will cut off output to the motor if the throttle signal is lost over 2 seconds. If the throttle signal recovers during power down, the ESC will immediately resume throttle control. In this way, the ESC will not protect when the signal loss less than 2 seconds, only when the signal lost is over 2 seconds or longer time. And the ESC will reduce the output power gradually instead of cutting off it immediately, so the player has certain amount of time to save the plane, taking into account safety and practicality.

  4. Over load protection: The ESC will cut off power or restart automatically when the load increased a lot suddenly, possible reason is the motor blocked.

ENTERING THE PROGRAMMING MODE

  1.  Turn on the transmitter, move the throttle stick to the top position.
  2. Connect the battery pack to ESC.
  3. Wait for 2 seconds,the motor will emit special tone like “beep-beep-beep”
  4.  Wait for another 3seconds,the motor will emit special tone like “123”, wich means program mode entered.

PROGRAMMABLE ITEMS

After entering program mode, you will hear 11 tones in a loop with the following sequence.

Note: 1 long “beep- -” =5 short beep

SET ITEM VALUE
Moving the throttle stick to the bottom position within 2 seconds after one kind of following tones, this item will be selected. After the programmable item selected, then you will hear several tones in loop as follows on each programmable item, set the value matching to a tone by moving throttle stick to top position when you hear the tone, then the motor will emit special tone like “123”, means this value is set and saved.
For example: If you want to set the motor rotation, when you hear four short tones of “Beep”, moving the throttle stick to the bottom position within 2 seconds, means you enter the motor rotation menu. One short tone of “Beep” is forward direction(CW), two short tones of “Beep” is reverse direction(CCW). If you want to set to reverse direction(CCW), moving the throttle stick to the top position when you hear the two short tones of “Beep”, then you will hear a special confirmation tone like“123”, which means the “ccw”is set and saved. Keeping the throttle stick at top, you will go back to programming mode and you can select other items; or moving the stick to bottom within 2 seconds will exit program mode directly).
