MODSTER Flash XL 2100 RC Airplane
Brand: MODSTER
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the MODSTER Flash XL 2100 aircraft. We hope this aircraft will bring you endless joy.
- The Flash XL 2100 is very easy to assemble in minutes, and the wings are removable, making it convenient for transport and maintenance.
- Embedded carbon spars and strips in the fuselage and wings provide high strength, ensuring the plane remains stable during high-speed flights.
- Configured with left, right, and middle wings, the Flash XL 2100 can be easily switched to a smaller size (Flash 1500) by removing the middle wing, offering two different flight experiences from one model.
- A 10-inch foldable propeller enhances flight efficiency and protects against landing damage.
- It features a very attractive appearance with good proportions, creating a strong visual impact.
- The aircraft offers very stable flight and flexible performance, is easy to control, and suitable for roll and high-speed flights.
- It has a fully moving tail elevator, making it very easy to control.
- The perfect design of heat dissipation holes on the body ensures the motor, ESC, and battery are adequately cooled during high-speed flying, making the flight very safe.
- With a landing skid and spoilers, the Flash XL 2100 can land on the ground without damaging the foam parts.
- A unique hidden pushrod design (elevator and rudder pushrods are concealed within the foam) contributes to a simpler and more elegant model appearance.

Assembly Processes
Follow these steps to assemble your MODSTER Flash XL 2100:
-
Step 1: Wings Assembly
Take out the left, right, and middle wings, wing connecting rod, and accessory bag. Insert the connecting rod into the middle wing, then connect the left and right wings to the middle wing. Connect the female plug from the middle wing to the servo cables. Secure the wings with nylon screws.
[Diagram Description: Shows the three wing sections, connecting rod, and screws being assembled.]
-
Step 2: Horizontal Stabilizer Assembly
Take out the fuselage and horizontal wing, and the short wing connecting rod. Insert the short wing connecting rod into the assembly holes from the rudder, then insert the connecting rod into the left and right horizontal wings. Fix the wings with screws.

Safety Precautions
- If you have a simulator, it is recommended to practice your skills on it before flying this model.
- For your first flight, climb to over 50 meters with half throttle to familiarize yourself with the plane's performance.
- Learn to control the model smoothly to reduce the possibility of crashes and prolong the aircraft's lifespan.
- Avoid making turns with too small a radius, as this can lead to a stall and increase the risk of a crash.
- When taking off or landing, always fly against the wind.
- Do not fly the model directly overhead or behind you; always keep it in front of you.
- Before each flight, check all fittings, screws for tightness, control surfaces, control rods, and your RC equipment for proper function.
Notice: How to Charge a Lithium Battery?
- While charging, keep the charger away from flammable materials.
- Use only adequate and specific chargers designed for lithium batteries.
- Keep the charging equipment out of the reach of children.
- Never leave the charger unattended while in use. If any abnormality occurs (e.g., power indicator off, battery temperature rising rapidly), stop charging immediately.
- Do not disassemble the airplane, charger, or accessories.
- Do not attempt to charge a battery that has not cooled down.
- Do not charge batteries unsupervised.
- Do not charge or store the battery inside the airplane.
Safety Instructions for Li-Po/Ni-MH Batteries

Troubleshooting
Strict ground inspections must be performed before each flight to effectively avoid flight accidents.
- Check if all screws on the airplane are in place, if servo arms and horns are reliably connected, and if wing fixings are locked.
- Install the battery and set the aircraft's center of gravity to the position recommended in the manual.
- Ensure the aircraft battery, transmitter battery, etc., are fully charged and functioning reliably.
- Gently push the throttle to check if the propeller is rotating correctly.
- After all checks are completed, the flight can commence. The first flight for beginners should ideally have the assistance of experienced enthusiasts to prevent accidents due to improper operation.
About Flight Time
The recommended flight time is based on tests conducted by experienced enthusiasts on a calm day, using the specified battery. Flight time is influenced by battery parameters, aircraft weight, flight conditions, and piloting methods. Different conditions will result in varying flight times.
It is recommended that enthusiasts use the "timing function" on their remote control during flight. For initial flights, it is advised to set the flight timer to within 4 minutes.
When a countdown alarm sounds, please land the aircraft and measure the battery voltage. At the end of the battery discharge period, it is forbidden to fly the aircraft into the leeward zone (downwind) to prevent the aircraft from being unable to return safely due to insufficient power.
