- Gently attach the wings to the main body of the aircraft, ensuring they click into place.
- Attach the tail fin to the rear of the aircraft.
- Ensure all connections are secure before flight.
Operating Instructions
1. Power On and Pairing
- Turn on the airplane by connecting the battery. The LED lights will start flashing.
- Turn on the remote controller.
- Move the throttle lever (left stick) all the way up, then all the way down. The airplane's lights will stop flashing, indicating successful pairing.
2. Takeoff
The 4DRC G2 supports both manual and glide takeoff.
- One-Key Takeoff: After pairing, press the one-key takeoff button on the remote. The airplane will automatically ascend to a stable height.
- Manual Takeoff: Hold the airplane firmly and gently throw it forward while simultaneously pushing the throttle lever up.
3. Flight Controls
Familiarize yourself with the remote controller functions:
- Throttle Lever (Left Stick): Controls altitude (up/down).
- Steering Yoke (Right Stick): Controls direction (left/right turns).
- Speed Up Button: Increases flight speed.
- Light Control Button: Toggles the LED lights on/off.

Maintenance
- Cleaning: Wipe the aircraft gently with a dry, soft cloth after each use. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals.
- Storage: Store the airplane and remote controller in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Remove batteries from the remote controller if storing for extended periods.
- EPP Foam Care: While durable, EPP foam can be damaged by sharp objects or excessive force. Inspect the aircraft for any cracks or damage before each flight. Small tears can often be repaired with foam-safe glue.
- Battery Care: Do not overcharge or over-discharge the batteries. Always use the provided charging cable. Discontinue use if batteries show signs of swelling or damage.
Troubleshooting
| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Airplane does not respond to remote. | Not paired; low battery in airplane or remote; out of range. | Re-pair the aircraft and remote. Charge airplane battery. Replace remote batteries. Fly within range. |
| Airplane flies erratically or crashes frequently. | Damaged propeller/wing; strong wind; gyroscope calibration issue. | Inspect for damage and replace parts if necessary. Avoid flying in strong winds. Re-calibrate gyroscope (refer to specific remote instructions if available). |
| LED lights not working. | Lights turned off; loose connection; damaged LEDs. | Press the light control button. Check battery connection. Contact support if damaged. |
| Short flight time. | Battery not fully charged; old battery; continuous high-speed flight. | Ensure battery is fully charged. Consider replacing old batteries. Vary flight speeds. |
Safety Guidelines
- Always fly in open areas, away from people, animals, buildings, and trees.
- Do not fly near airports or restricted airspace.
- Supervise children during operation.
- Do not touch the propellers when they are spinning.
