Setup Guide

1. Charging the Aircraft Battery

1. Connect the USB charging cable to a USB power source (e.g., computer USB port, USB wall adapter).
2. Connect the other end of the charging cable to the aircraft battery.
3. The charging indicator light on the charger will behave according to the battery status (e.g., off when charging, on when full). A full charge typically takes approximately 60-90 minutes per battery.
4. Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger.

2. Installing Aircraft Battery

1. Locate the battery compartment on the underside of the aircraft.
2. Carefully insert a charged battery into the compartment, ensuring the connectors align.
3. Secure the battery compartment cover.

3. Installing Remote Controller Batteries

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the remote controller.
2. Insert 3 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment, observing correct polarity (+/-).
3. Close the battery cover securely.

4. Pairing the Aircraft and Remote Controller

1. Place the aircraft on a flat, level surface.
2. Turn on the aircraft by connecting its battery. The aircraft's lights will begin to flash.
3. Turn on the remote controller by sliding the ON/OFF switch.
4. Push the throttle lever (left stick) all the way up, then pull it all the way down.
5. The aircraft's lights will stop flashing and remain solid, indicating successful pairing.

Operating Instructions

1. Pre-Flight Check

• Ensure both aircraft and remote controller batteries are fully charged.
• Check that propellers are securely attached and free from damage.
• Select an open, clear flying area free from obstacles and people.
• Verify that the aircraft and remote are successfully paired.

2. Take-off

• One-Key Take-off: After pairing, press the One-Key Take-off/Landing button on the remote controller. The aircraft will automatically ascend to a stable hovering height.
• Manual Take-off: Gently toss the aircraft forward into the wind while simultaneously pushing the throttle lever up. This method is often preferred for foam gliders.

3. Flight Controls

• Throttle Lever (Left Stick):
  • Push up to increase altitude/speed.
  • Pull down to decrease altitude/speed.
• Steering Yoke (Right Stick):
  • Push left/right to turn the aircraft left/right.
• Headless Mode: Press the Headless Mode button (refer to remote diagram if available). In this mode, the aircraft's orientation is relative to the pilot, making it easier to control without needing to track the aircraft's front.
• 3-Speed Modes: Press the Speed Up button to cycle through low, medium, and high-speed modes. This allows adjustment for different skill levels and flying conditions.

4. Special Features

• LED Lights: Press the Light Control button to turn the blue and green LED lights on or off. The lights will flash when the battery is low, signaling it's time to land.
• 3D Flips: While flying, press the 3D Flips button (if available on your remote) and then move the right stick in the desired direction to perform a flip. Ensure sufficient altitude before attempting.
• Circle Flight: Press the Circle Flight button (if available on your remote) to initiate an automatic circular flight path.

5. Landing

• One-Key Landing: Press the One-Key Take-off/Landing button. The aircraft will automatically descend and land gently.
• Manual Landing: Slowly pull the throttle lever down to reduce altitude. Guide the aircraft to a clear landing spot. Reduce throttle completely upon touchdown.

Maintenance

• Cleaning: Wipe the aircraft gently with a clean, dry cloth after each use to remove dust or debris. Do not use water or chemical cleaners.
• Propeller Inspection: Regularly check propellers for any cracks, bends, or damage. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the provided spares and screwdriver.
• Battery Storage: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. For long-term storage, charge batteries to approximately 50% capacity.
• Aircraft Storage: Store the aircraft in a safe place to prevent physical damage, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
• EPP Material Care: While durable, EPP foam can be damaged by sharp objects or excessive force. Handle with care.
