SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

General

• Read the Operating Manual carefully and keep it for future reference.
• Familiarise yourself with all the instructions for flight operation.

This model is not a toy!

• This radio-controlled model aircraft is not a toy. Learning how to control it correctly is a gradual process.
• Children under 14 years of age should be supervised by an adult.

If you are not yet proficient with model aircraft, we suggest you approach a more experienced model pilot or a model-making club about making your first flight attempts.
Flying a radio-controlled model aircraft is a fascinating hobby. However, it has to be practiced with the necessary caution and consideration.
A radio-controlled model aircraft can cause damage and injury in an uncontrolled flying mode, and the user is liable for any such incident.
As a manufacturer and distributor of the model, we have no influence on the correct handling and operation of the model.
Make sure that you have sufficient insurance cover when practicing your hobby or take out special insurance for model aircraft. The contact address for this is Deutscher
Modellfliegerverband e.V. Rochusstr. 104 – 106, 53123 Bonn.
Only a well-maintained model will function properly. Only use approved spare parts and never improvise with any unsuitable items.
It is the user’s responsibility to ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all nuts, bolts, and screws are tightened.
Keep the model well beyond the reach of small children. They may unintentionally activate the model and cause themselves injury with it, or they may put batteries and small parts into their mouths and swallow them.

Preparations
Never start flying before you have made sure of the following points:

• Pay attention to visible damage on the model, remote control, battery charger, and lithium battery.
• Ensure that the model is functioning correctly and that all screwed and plugged connections are fitted precisely and tightly.
• The flight battery must be fully charged and correspond to the correct voltage. Only use new/fresh batteries for the transmitter.
• Make sure that all servos respond correctly to the signals of the transmitter.
• Always check the radio operation before starting the model.

Flight operation
The model is primarily designed for indoor flights since its low weight and unstable flight position resulting from the construction type make it very susceptible to air movements.
Moreover, the components are not dust- and moisture-proof.

Do not fly any longer than one battery charge
Afterward, the model must cool down for at least 5 minutes.
Then recharge the battery. Avoid deep discharge in any case.

General information

• If you have little or no experience with model aircraft you should practice with a flight simulation program first.
• Ask experienced model pilots for advice on the fine settings of your model aircraft.
• Familiarise yourself with the control functions of your transmitter.
• Start your first flights, standing behind the model and looking in the flight direction. In this case, the control reaction equals the controlling direction.
• Also familiarise yourself with the movements of the model, when it flies towards you (response opposite to the control direction)!

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS LITHIUM BATTERIES

Safety Precautions Lithium batteries:

1. General: Lithium batteries (accumulators) are energy storage devices with a high energy density and can present risks. For this reason, particular care is needed when charging, discharging, storing, and handling. Read these instructions very carefully before first using the battery. Do not fail to take note of the warning notices and instructions for use. Misuse can lead to risks such as explosion, overheating, or fire. Failure to observe the instructions for use leads to early failure and other defects. The instructions should therefore be kept in a safe place and it is essential that they are handed over to the second user if the batteries are passed on.

2. Warning notices:
   • Avoid short-circuits. A short circuit may well destroy the product. Cables and connections must be well insulated.
   • It is essential when connecting the battery to ensure that the polarity is correct.
   • Original plug connectors and cables may not be cut off or changed – if need be, use an adapter cable.
   • Do not expose the battery to excessive heat or cold or to direct sunlight. Do not throw in the fire. Do not place the battery in contact with water or other liquids.
   • Charge the battery only with charging units intended for the purpose and always use the balancer connection. It is only by using the balancer connection that optimum charging can be ensured. If this connection is not used, charging is subject to the risks mentioned above.
   Before charging, always first allow the battery to cool to ambient temperature. Never charge while hot.
   • When charging, place the battery on non-flammable, heat-resistant support. There should be no flammable or readily ignited objects in the vicinity of the battery.
   • During charging or operation, never leave the battery unsupervised.
   • Do not fail to keep to the recommended charge/discharge current.
   • The battery casing must not be damaged. It is essential to avoid damage by sharp objects such as knives or the like, from dropping, impact, bending, etc. Damaged batteries may no longer be used.
   • Batteries are not toys. They should be kept away from children.

3. Charging instructions: Lithium batteries are charged according to the CC-CV procedure.
   CC stands for “constant current“, which is applied during the first phase of charging. Once the battery reaches the maximum voltage configured in the charger, it switches to CV (constant voltage) for the second phase of charging. The battery voltage no longer increases. The charging current now falls continuously until the battery is fully charged. The maximum charging current for the battery is 1C (C=nominal capacity of the battery, e.g. for a battery with a nominal capacity of 2700 mA, the maximum charging current for the battery is 2700 mA (2.7 A)). Never charge several batteries together from a single charger. Differing states of charge and capacities can lead to overcharging and destruction.

4. Storage instructions: Lithium batteries should be stored and charged to 20-50 % of their capacity and at a temperature of 15-18 °C. If the cell voltage falls below 3 V, they should be recharged. Deep discharge and storage when discharged (call voltage <3 V) will render the battery unusable.

5. General terms of guarantee: There is a legal guarantee for production and material faults as applicable at the time of dispatch. No liability is accepted for normal wear and tear. This guarantee does not apply to defects attributable to improper use, inadequate maintenance, third-party interference, or mechanical damage. This applies, in particular, to used batteries and batteries clearly showing signs of use. Damage and loss of performance due to improper handling and/or overload are not product faults. Batteries are consumables and subject to certain aging. This is influenced by factors such as the charge/discharge currents, the charging procedure, the operating and storage temperatures, and the state of charge during storage.
   Aging shows itself in, among other things, an irreversible loss of capacity. In the model field, where batteries are frequently used to supply motors, very high currents can flow from time to time.

6. Exclusion of liability: Since we are unable to have any control over charge/discharge, handling, compliance with assembly and operating instructions, battery replacement, and its care and maintenance, Tamiya / Carson can accept no liability for loss or damage, or costs incurred. Any claim for damages that may result from the operation, failure, or faulty operation or that is in any way related thereto will therefore be refused. We accept no liability for personal injury or material damage and the consequences that arise from our delivery.

7. Disposal instructions: Batteries are hazardous waste. Damaged or unusable cells must be disposed of in the correct manner.
   No liability for printing errors, we reserve the right to make changes!

FLIGHT OPERATION

Trimming the quadcopter
Already shortly before the quadcopter takes off, you can recognize whether it wants to turn or glide in a particular direction. Correct the deviations from the vertical ascent with the trim knob of the turn function.

The tip of the fuselage turns to the right:

• Reduce speed and push the trim slider of the turn function on the left remote control lever stepwise to the left.
• Push the pitch-lever forward again and check whether the correction was sufficient, if necessary shift the trim further to the left.
• Repeat the process until the quadcopter no longer shows a tendency to turn to the right.
• The tip of the fuselage turns to the left:
• Proceed as described above, but push the trim slider of the turn function stepwise to the right.
