4. Assembly and Initial Setup

The Ranger600 Stunt RC Glider is largely pre-assembled, making it ready to fly quickly. Follow these steps for initial setup:

1. Install Batteries: Insert the charged Lithium-Ion battery into the aircraft's battery compartment. Ensure it is securely connected.
2. Transmitter Batteries: Install the required batteries (not included) into the remote control transmitter.
3. Binding (if necessary): If the aircraft and transmitter are not already bound, follow the specific binding instructions provided in a separate quick start guide or on the manufacturer's website.
4. Pre-Flight Check: Before each flight, ensure all control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder) move freely and correctly in response to transmitter inputs. Check battery levels for both the aircraft and transmitter.

5. Operating Instructions

The Ranger600 Stunt features an Xpilot gyro stabilizer system and multiple flight modes to assist pilots of all skill levels.

5.1. Xpilot Gyro Stabilizer System

The integrated Xpilot gyro stabilizer system provides flight assistance, making the aircraft stable and easier to control, especially for beginners. It automatically corrects for wind and maintains level flight.

5.2. Flight Modes

The aircraft offers three selectable flight modes:

• Beginner Mode (Full Assist): Provides maximum stabilization and restricted control angles, ideal for first-time flyers.
• Intermediate Mode (Half Assist): Offers moderate stabilization with increased control authority, suitable for pilots gaining confidence.
• Expert Mode (Manual Control): Disables gyro assistance, providing full manual control for advanced maneuvers and experienced pilots.

5.3. One-Key Functions

• One-Key Take-Off: Press the designated button and hold the left stick (throttle) to initiate an automatic take-off to a certain altitude.
• One-Key Aerobatics: During flight, press the aerobatic button to perform pre-programmed stunts like rolls or flips.
• One-Key U-Turn: Activates an automatic U-turn maneuver, returning the aircraft in the opposite direction.

5.4. General Flight Operation

Use the remote control sticks to maneuver the aircraft. The left stick typically controls throttle and rudder, while the right stick controls ailerons and elevator. Practice in Beginner Mode until comfortable with basic controls before advancing to Intermediate or Expert modes.

6. Battery Charging

The aircraft uses Lithium-Ion batteries. Follow these charging instructions:

• Connect the battery to the provided charger.
• Plug the charger into a suitable power source.
• Observe the indicator lights on the charger for charging status (refer to charger manual for specific light indications).
• Do not leave charging batteries unattended.
• A full charge typically provides up to 20 minutes of flight time per battery. The package includes two batteries for extended play.

7. Maintenance

Proper maintenance ensures the longevity and performance of your RC glider:

• Cleaning: Wipe the aircraft with a soft, dry cloth after use to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
• Storage: Store the aircraft and batteries in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect the propeller, wings, and fuselage for any damage. The durable FLEEX foam construction is designed to withstand minor impacts.
• Motor Care: The high-performance motors are designed for durability. Keep them free from obstructions.
