Key features of the DEERC RC Plane.
The plane features a colorful LED strip for visibility and fun.
Setup
1. Charging the Batteries
The plane comes with three 3.7V 185mAh LiPo batteries. Use the provided USB charging cables to charge them. Connect the battery to the charging cable, then plug the USB end into a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter). The indicator light on the cable will show charging status (typically red for charging, off or green for fully charged). Charging time is approximately 30-40 minutes per battery.
The plane includes three high-capacity batteries for extended flight time.
2. Installing Plane Battery
Open the battery compartment on the underside of the plane. Carefully connect a charged battery to the plane's power connector. Ensure the wires are tucked neatly to allow the compartment cover to close securely.
3. Installing Remote Control Batteries
The remote control requires 3 AAA batteries (not included). Open the battery compartment on the back of the remote and insert the batteries, observing the correct polarity (+/-). Close the compartment cover.
4. Attaching Landing Gear (Optional)
The landing gear is removable. If you wish to perform ground take-offs, gently insert the landing gear into the designated slots on the underside of the plane. For hand launches, the landing gear can be omitted.
The landing gear can be easily attached or removed.
Operating Instructions
1. Pairing the Remote Control
- Ensure the plane's battery is connected and the plane is powered on.
- Turn on the remote control.
- Move the throttle stick (left stick) all the way up, then all the way down. The remote will beep, indicating successful pairing.
2. Take-off Modes
The DEERC RC Plane supports two take-off methods:
- Ground Take-off: Place the plane on a flat, clear surface with the landing gear attached. Slowly increase throttle and the plane will gain speed and lift off.
- Hand Launch: Hold the plane firmly and gently toss it forward into the wind while simultaneously increasing throttle. Ensure no obstacles are in the flight path.
Choose between ground take-off or hand launch depending on your preference and environment.
3. Flight Controls
The 2.4GHz radio control system allows for precise control up to 164 feet (50 meters).
- Throttle (Left Stick Up/Down): Controls the speed and altitude of the plane.
- Direction (Right Stick Left/Right): Controls the turning direction of the plane.
The 2.4GHz radio system provides a control range of up to 165 feet.
Experience multi-directional control for dynamic flight.
4. Auto-Leveling Six-Axis Flight System
The built-in 6-axis gyroscope automatically stabilizes the plane. If the plane loses control, simply release the throttle, and the gyroscope will activate the balance function, automatically restoring the plane to a stable flight state.
The auto-leveling system helps maintain stable flight, especially for beginners.
5. Speed Modes
The remote control allows you to switch between two speed modes, catering to different skill levels and flying environments. Refer to your remote control's specific buttons for speed mode adjustment.
Adjust flight speed with two available modes.
6. Smaller Turn Radius
The compact size of the DEERC RC Plane allows for a smaller turn radius, making it ideal for flying in confined spaces like yards or parks, and easier for new pilots to maneuver.
The small turn radius simplifies learning and flying in smaller areas.
Maintenance
1. Cleaning
Wipe the plane gently with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using water or chemical cleaners, as they may damage the electronics or EPP material.
2. Propeller Replacement
If a propeller is damaged, use the provided screwdriver to carefully remove the old propeller and install a new one. Ensure the new propeller is securely fastened and oriented correctly.
3. Battery Care
- Always fully charge batteries before use.
- Do not overcharge or over-discharge batteries.
- Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- If not used for an extended period, charge batteries to approximately 50% capacity before storing.
The plane's EPP material is designed for durability and crash resistance.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Plane does not respond to remote. | Not paired; low battery (plane/remote); out of range. | Re-pair the remote; charge/replace batteries; fly within range. |
| Plane does not take off or flies weakly. | Low plane battery; damaged propeller; motor issue. | Charge plane battery; replace damaged propellers; contact support if motor issue persists. |
| Plane drifts or is unstable. | Strong wind; gyroscope calibration needed; damaged wing/tail. | Fly in calm conditions; re-calibrate gyroscope (refer to remote instructions); inspect and repair plane. |
| LED lights not working. | Low plane battery; internal wiring issue. | Charge plane battery; contact support if issue persists. |
