Age Recommendation; 14 years and up. This is not a toy.
As the owner of this airplane, you are responsible to make sure that injury to others or damage to property is avoided.

Make sure that you are familiar with the entire instruction manual before operation.

Battery Warnings

Important Notice: Mishandling of LiPo batteries can result in fire, personal injury and/or
property damage!

• Ensure that batteries are properly charged before flying.
• If at any time that battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately.
• Always store batteries at room temperature in a dry environment.
• Do not store or transport your LiPo batteries in direct sunlight or in a hot vehicle.
• Make sure to inspect all batteries before charging and do not charge damaged batteries.
• Always disconnect the battery after charging and allow the charger to cool before the next charge.
• Never leave charging batteries unattended.
• Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold temperatures or in direct sunlight.

1. Unplug the battery from your plane.
2. Plug the charger into the USB port on your computer or USB adapter.
3. Connect battery to the charger.
4. The charging process will take up to 3 hours. As a safety precaution, never charge the battery for longer than 4 hours. While charging, the red LED indicator will light. When charging is complete, the LED will turn off.

Setup Instructions

NOTE: Make sure the landing gear wires are installed in the correct direction as shown
in the above images.

3. Connect the battery to the receiver and insert the battery into the battery box. Then, place the battery wires inside and close the battery box door.

4. Setup is done. Make sure you read and follow all instructions in this manual before you start flying the airplane.

Transmitter Layout

Centering Control Surfaces

NOTE: Turn the PASS switch off (expert mode) before you complete the steps below. See more information in “PASS System” section.

With the transmitter turned on and the battery conected to the ESC (and installed in the battery compartment), it is now possible to check the center of all control surfaces.

PASS System Control

0 – Away From You- Manual / PASS Off (EXPERT)
1 – In the Middle – Partial Assit (MID)
2 – Towards You – Full Assit (BEGINNER)

The PASS System comes pre-installed in the airplane to help make flying a smoother experience. In either assist mode, the PASS System greatly reduces the stress of the pilot and makes the plane easier and more fun to fly.

The PASS System has 3 levels of control.

Full Assist (switch toward pilot) In this position the bank and dive angles of the airplane are greatly restricted and the plane will return to level flight when the sticks are released.

Partial Assist (switch in middle) In this position the bank and dive angles can increase and the plane still returns to level flight when the sticks are released.

No Assist (switch away from pilot) In this position the stability system is inactive. This is the expert setting and allows for unaided control. If orientation or control is lost, simply switch to one of the other assist modes to regain control.

Digital Trim

Digital trims allow you to adjust the center position of aileron, rudder, or elevator. Each time the trim button is pressed, the servo output will change one angle. If the trim button is held, the output will scroll in that direction until the trim button is released or the output reaches its end. When you hear a short “beep” sound, the trim is centered.

Checking Control Movement

Arming the Motor

To prevent damage to the aircraft and surroundings, the throttle channel is locked each time the transmitter is turned on. Follow the instructions below to unlock the throttle and arm the motor.

CAUTION: Keep your fingers and other foreign objects away from the prop while arming the motor. Raise the throttle stick up to max position until you hear a “beep” sound.

Then pull the throttle stick down to min position until you hear a second “beep” sound.
The motor is now armed. When the throttle stick is raised again the motor will start.

Stunt Function Button

Pass System Calibration

1. Make sure the airplane is set in level flying position.
2. Turn the throttle stick to min (low) position.
3. Turn on the transmitter and plug in the battery to power on the airplane
4. Do NOT unlock the throttle at this point.
5. Hold the sticks as shown for several seconds.
6. When you hear a “beep” sound, it means the PASS system is calibrated based on the position of the airplane.

NOTE: This process is only required if the model is not performing properly when in PASS mode. Perform this with the airplane held in a level flying position.

Prop Saver Instructions

Each Prop/Spinner set includes the propeller, spinner and forward part.

See page 10 for specific part numbers for each airplane.

The prop saver keeps the propeller and prop shaft from damage, along with preventing the electronic components from over current. When the airplane hits any obstacle, the prop will pop loose and fall from the base. To reinstall the prop, center the forward part (see diagram) on the motor shaft, and press until you hear a “click” that indicates that the prop has been reinstalled.

Propeller Replacement

Follow these steps to replace a broken propeller and/or shaft adaptor. You will need a Phillips screwdriver and needle nose pliers (not included).

1. Remove screw with a Phillips screwdriver and remove the spinner and propeller.
2. Remove shaft adaptor (labeled base on the diagram). If it’s too tight, use pliers to help.
3. Replace any broken parts.
4. Reinstall all parts by reversing the installation steps to complete the replacement.

Flight Checklist

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although this section can be used as a quick start guide, we strongly suggest that you read the entire manual before proceeding. This checklist is NOT intended to replace the content included in this instruction manual.

• Always turn the transmitter on first.
• Ensure the throttle control stick is at bottom position before connecting the battery.
• Fly the model (hand-launch or take off from a flat/level surface).
• Land the model (on a flat/level surface).
• Unplug the battery from ESC.
• Always turn off the transmitter last.

Binding Instructions

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. When a receiver is bound to a transmitter, the receiver will only respond to that specific transmitter.

Binding Instructions

If you need to rebind for any reason, please follow the steps below.

1. Keep the transmitter switched OFF with the throttle stick at bottom position.
   NOTICE: Keep PASS switch at Partial or Full assist position.
   NOTICE: Make sure you keep the plane still in a calm, stable position when initializing the PASS system.

2. Connect the battery to the plane, then turn on the transmitter within 5 seconds.

3. The receiver LED will flash for 3 to 8 seconds before binding automatically.

4. After the receiver LED stops flashing, the binding process is complete and you are ready to fly.

CAUTION: Remember to use caution when flying near people and property!
