Setup

1. Battery Charging

1. Connect the provided USB charging cable to the aircraft's battery.
2. Plug the USB cable into a suitable USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
3. The charging indicator light will show the charging status (refer to charger for specific light indications).
4. Charge the battery until fully charged. Charging time may vary (typically 60-90 minutes). Do not overcharge.

2. Transmitter Battery Installation

1. Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote control.
2. Insert the required batteries (usually AA, not included) according to the polarity markings.
3. Close the battery compartment securely.

3. Aircraft Assembly (if required)

The AM38 is largely pre-assembled. If any components like landing gear or wings require attachment, follow these general steps:

• Carefully attach the wings to the fuselage, ensuring they are securely locked in place.
• Install the landing gear if not pre-installed, ensuring wheels can rotate freely.
• Verify all connections are firm and secure.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Flight Check

• Ensure both the aircraft battery and transmitter batteries are fully charged.
• Check for any visible damage to the aircraft, propellers, or landing gear.
• Confirm all control surfaces (ailerons, rudder, elevator) move freely and correctly when commanded by the transmitter.
• Select a safe, open flying area free from obstacles, people, and animals.

2. Binding the Transmitter and Aircraft

1. Turn on the remote control.
2. Connect the fully charged battery to the aircraft. Place the aircraft on a flat surface.
3. The aircraft's indicator light will flash, then become solid once bound.
4. If binding fails, turn off both devices and repeat the process.

3. Take-off and Flight

• Place the aircraft on a smooth, flat surface for take-off.
• Gently increase throttle to gain speed.
• Once sufficient speed is reached, gently pull back on the elevator stick to lift off.
• Use the left stick for throttle (up/down) and rudder (left/right).
• Use the right stick for elevator (pitch up/down) and ailerons (roll left/right).
• The 6-axis gyro will assist in maintaining stable flight.

4. Landing

• Approach the landing area at a low altitude and reduced speed.
• Maintain control and gently decrease throttle.
• Just before touchdown, slightly pull back on the elevator to flare the aircraft for a soft landing.
• After landing, reduce throttle completely and disconnect the aircraft battery.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the aircraft body with a soft, dry cloth after each flight to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Propellers: Regularly inspect propellers for damage (cracks, bends). Replace damaged propellers immediately to ensure optimal performance and safety.
• Battery Care: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods. Follow manufacturer guidelines for battery disposal.
• Storage: Store the aircraft in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
