Before Your First Flight
Before attempting to fly this aircraft for the first time, we recommend using
the RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator (RFL1205, not included), to
learn and practice the basics of flying. A spektrum transmitter may be
connected to a PC for simulator use with a standard USB-C cable. Featuring six
popular Horizon Hobby trainer aircraft and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor
lessons, new pilots can learn to fly successfully by practicing on a PC at
home or on a laptop just about anywhere else!
We also encourage you to connect with experienced RC pilots in your area
through hobby shops or at designated flying fields. For those located in the
United States, we recommend joining a national organization such as the
Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA can provide information on local
clubs, instructors and established flying sites in your area in addition to
insurance coverage. Visit www.modelaircraft.org for more information.

Transmitter Trims
The included transmitter features digital trim buttons next to the control
sticks to make fine adjustments during flight. The transmitter beeps when a
trim button is pressed. The tone changes slightly when the trim value is
centered. To quickly re-center the trims, press both the left and right sticks
at the same time. If the aircraft drifts right or left in flight, use the
opposite direction aileron trim button correct the drift. For example, if the
aircraft drifts right in flight, press and release the left aileron trim
button until the aircraft no longer drifts. If the aircraft climbs or dives
during flight, press and release the down or up trim buttons until the
aircraft flies level. If there is not enough digital trim available,
mechanically adjust the in the control linkages to adjust the surfaces.

Flying
Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your
aircraft. We recommend flying your aircraft outside in no greater than light
winds. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. Avoid
flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards
or soccer fields.
TIP: This aircraft can normally fly 6-8 minutes on a fully charged flight
battery. This time will vary pending on your flying style, flight conditions
and the condition of your battery.
Hand Launching
To hand launch the aircraft, place the aircraft in Beginner mode
(only/always), and grip the fuselage immediately behind the wing. Advance to
full throttle and give the aircraft a firm throw, slightly up (510 degrees
above the horizon), and directly into the wind. After the model gains altitude
and speed, decrease the throttle as you desire.
Takeoff Taxi the aircraft in position for takeoff facing into the wind.
Gradually increase the throttle to full power. Hold a small amount of up
elevator and steer with the rudder. When the aircraft lifts off, climb gently
and adjust the trim for level flight. Once the trim is adjusted, begin
exploring the flight envelope of the aircraft.
Landing Always land into the wind. Use throttle management to control the
descent rate of the aircraft. During flare, keep the wings level and the
aircraft pointed into the wind. Slowly lower the throttle while easing back on
the elevator to bring the aircraft gently down on the main wheels.
NOTICE: Always fully lower the throttle at touch down when landing the
aircraft. Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible
positions during a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver
unit.
Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Repair this aircraft using CA glue or clear tape.
NOTICE: Use of CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle
the aircraft until adhesive fully dries.

Front
01 2
If you get into distress while flying in Intermediate or Experienced mode (0),
flip the switch to Beginner. SAFE technology will return the aircraft to a
stable attitude, if the aircraft is at a sufficient height with no obstacles
in its path.
SAFE Technology makes this aircraft a better learning tool, but you must set
yourself up for success in flying:
· SAFE technology is designed as flight assistance, not an autopilot. The
pilot is always in control and required to fly the aircraft at all times
· Follow the instructions provided in this manual to maintain your aircraft in
top flying condition · Seek qualified model flying instruction through your
local model flying club. A qualified flight instructor can propel your
advancement in this hobby · Wind and environment can affect SAFE technology
flight performance · Ensure you have no distractions so you benefit from every
moment of flight time · You must still fly the aircraft away from obstacles
and at an altitude that will allow for a safe recovery
