Lithium battery charging instruction

3.7V battery configuration charging instructions:

Plug the USB charger into the power source, the LED light of the USB charger is always on. when the battery is connected the LED light is off, if Cub( charged the LED light is on. The charging time is about 120 minutes. Note: The battery and the USB socket cannot be inserted reversely.

1. Make sure that the voltage and plug of the charger meet your local standards.
2. When charging, if the charging plug is overheated, it means overcharging, which will damage the battery. Cause permanent damage to the battery. Please stop charging immediately.
3. When charging, personnel must not leave.
4. This charging method adopts advanced USB charging method, for safe charging, do not change it casually Use other chargers to charge the lithium battery to avoid the danger of explosion,
5. When the aircraft has just completed the light, the battery temperature is high. it is best to wait for about 30 minutes Charge the lithium battery after the battery cools, otherwise the battery will be damaged.
6. Do not throw the battery into the fire to avoid the danger of explosion.
7. Do not short-circuit the positive and negative poles of the battery, and do not put the battery together with small metal parts to avoid the danger of explosion.

Warning: If you do not want to play this aircraft. Please disconnect the battery wire from the circuit board.

Battery and charger specification

The frequency of the remote control and the aircraft

1. Plug in the aircraft battery

2. The aircraft indicator flashes
   

3. Then turn on the remote control. the remote control emits a “didi” sound. After a few seconds, the remote control has finished the frequency matching sound, the aircraft indicator light is always on. and the frequency matching is completed.
   

4. After the frequency marching is completed, each rudder surface should be returned to the center, if not, you can manually rotate the joint to make It center.
   

Flight and landing

Caution: The motor cannot be  operated in a locked-rotor condition to avoid burning the motor.

1. Connect the frequency according to the above steps, and reconfirm whether each surface is centered. Put the airplane on a flat surface and face the wind, push the throttle to make the airplane to reach a certain speed. and then gently pull up the elevator stick (not too much) to let the airplane leave the ground.
   
   If the direction is deflected during landing, it can use the direction stick to correct it.
   

2. Connect the frequency according to the above steps, and reconfirm whether each rudder surface is centered. Push the throttle to about 60%, throw it towards the front and gently pull down the elevator stick (do not pull too much)
   

3. When the aircraft power is insufficient during flight, please land immediately. First, fly the aircraft to the leeward zone and adjust the head face to the wind to land, pull down the throttle to reduce the flying speed, and the aircraft will slowly slide down until the aircraft touches the ground. then pull down the throttle to the lowest point, and pull down the elevator stick appropriately during landing.
   
   If  flight is ended, please remove the model aircraft battery safely. Please develop good habits so as not to cause regret
   If the battery is not removed, the battery will be over-discharged and damaged, and even cause Risk of fire and burning.

If the battery Is not removed, it will cause battery leakage. damage the remote control, and even cause fire.
If remote control is not use for a long time, remove the remote control battery and keep it in a safe place.

Flight adjustment and setting

Please be proficient in flight simulation before flying

Before you understand the control methods of the various actions of the model aircraft, it is strictly forbidden to fly on the actual aircraft. Please read the manual first, and tie familiar with the control of various directions and repeat them until the fingers can control each action and direction proficiently.

1. Place the model airplane in an open place and aim the tail of the model airplane at yourself.
2. Practice operating the joysticks of the remote control (the operation method of each action is as shown in the figure below), and repeatedly practice the throttle high/low, aileron left/right, elevator up / down and rudder left/right operation methods.
3. The practice of simulated flight is very important. Please repeat the practice until you don’t need to think about it, and your fingers can move and control naturally following the commands you shout.

Beginner flight adjustment and attention

Please fly indoors and outdoors in an open space without people and obstacle.

Reconfirm whether the screws are locked?
Whether the remote control and aircraft batteries are sufficient.

Beginner flight adjustment and attention

After the aircraft takes off, please control the throttle altitude to make the aircraft fly at a constant speed, and do not accelerate suddenly.

**Rudder operation practice

** When the model aircraft is off the ground, use the rudder stick to control ground taxiing direction or change the fight route.

Beginner flight adjustment and attention:

Beginners must practice the simulator well before flying or be guided by an experienced person before flying.

Big rudder operation:

The indicator light on the remote control wil flash when the big rudder switch is pressed. and the aircraft can do somersaults. Press the big rudder switch first, and then pull down the elevator stick to turn somersaults.

Flight attitude adjustment

Special Reminder: The model aircraft has been debugged before leaving the factory. Some aircraft may cause wing deformation during transportation and yaw during flight. Please use the following methods to adjust.

The aircraft yaws to the left : fix the fuselage with your left hand, pinch the left wing with your right hand, move the front edge of the wing upward and the trailing edge downward to increase the lift of the left wing and balance the aircraft.

The aircraft yaws to the right: fix the fuselage with your right hand, pinch the right wing with your loft hand, move the front edge of the wing upward and the trailing edge downward to increase the lift of the right wing and balance the aircraft.

The angle of attack of the wing has a great influence on the flight. During the debugging process, the angle of the wing should not be too large each time . Adjust the flight attitude and repea: tie above actions until the aircraft can fly straight.

WARNING : When the aircraft power is weak while flying, it means that battery is almost out of power. It is recommended that the operator needs to land it as soon as possible. In order to avoid the aircraft can not fly back without power, or fly lost.
