Operating Instructions
Flight Modes
The aircraft features a 6-axis gyroscope for stability and offers two primary flight modes:
- 6G Stable Mode (Beginner): Provides enhanced stability and automatic leveling, making it easier for new pilots to control.
- 3D Professional Mode (Advanced): Offers full manual control for performing advanced stunts and aerobatics.
You can switch between these modes using the designated button on the remote control.
Take-off
- Hand Launch: Hold the aircraft firmly, increase throttle, and gently toss it forward into the wind.
- Ground Take-off: Place the aircraft on a flat surface, increase throttle gradually, and steer using the remote control until it gains enough speed to lift off.

- Throttle/Direction Joystick: Controls engine speed and yaw (left/right turning).
- Lift/Aileron Stick: Controls pitch (up/down) and roll (tilting left/right).
- Trim Buttons: Adjust the aircraft's neutral flight position if it drifts.
- Mode Switch: Toggles between 6G Stable Mode and 3D Professional Mode.
- One-Key Aerobatic Button: In 3D mode, press this button to perform pre-programmed stunts like flips and rolls.
Video: Shows the RC plane performing various maneuvers and stunts, including one-key aerobatics, demonstrating its agility and control.
Night Flight Features
The aircraft is equipped with high-brightness LED navigation lights, allowing for visibility and flight during low-light conditions. The remote control can also activate these lights with one click.
