Installing the Battery

The transmitter comes pre-bound to the aircraft, so binding should not be necessary. Keep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources, or other transmitters while installing the battery.

CAUTION:

Before flying, power on the transmitter first, then power on the plane. Af ter flying, power o ff the plane first, then power off the transmitters.
Always disconnect the LiLiPoattery from the aircraft receiver when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged.
Always keep hands away fr om the pr opeller. When ar med, the motor will turn the pr opeller in response to any throttle movement.

Transmitter Battery Installation
Remove the battery cover. Install the four batteries (noting proper polarity) and reinstall the battery cover.
Transmitter Low Battery Alarm
When the battery transmitter voltage drops too low, an alarm sounds (D.B.D.B ). The batteries must be replaced immediately. If this happens while flying, land your aircraft as soon as possible.

Transmitter LED Indicator
The radio will have acoustic timing per minute, so you will hear “B.B.B” every 1 minute. After 10 minutes, it will keep “B.B.B. B.B.B” every 1 minute. This will help you know how long you have flown.

STATUS
Transmitter voltage too low	The transmitter keeps beeping “D.B.D.B”， LED slow flashing.
Aircraft voltage	When aircraft voltage is less than 3.3V, you will feel the plane is losing power. You can still fly for another 2 minutes, which will give you the time to land the plane.
Control rate	1 beep means Beginner Mode (Low rate). 2 beeps mean Expert Mode (High rate).
Flight Mode	1 beep means 6G Mode. 2 beeps means 3D Mode. 3 beeps mean Manual Mode. When you power on the radio, it is in 6G Mode as a default setting.

Flying Tips

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
The built-in Flight Controller System is designed as flight assistance, NOT AN AUTOPILOT.

Start in Beginner mode. As you learn and become more confident, change modes to advance your flying skills.
Always make deliberate and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft.
Fly your aircraft outside in no greater than light winds.

Indoor flight is not recommended.
Keep your aircraft in plain sight and upwind.
Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires, and buildings.

Always avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schools, or playing fields.

Installation

Different Flight Modes

6G Mode (with self leveling): Pitch (nose up and down) and Roll (wing tips up and down) angles are limited to help you keep the aircraft airborne. Release both sticks for self-leveling.

3D Mode: The pilot is only prevented from entering extreme flight conditions.
Manual Mode: Unlimited Flight Capability

LOITER function

Press the LOITER button, the plane will keep circling in a 20m diameter circle at any altitude when you press the button. The throttle / Rudder will not de-trigger the Loiter, but moving the Ailerons /Elevator stick will de-trigger the Loiter.

Binding Procedure

Power on the plane, the LED in the Control board will flash, then power on the transmitter, if the LED in the Control board change to solid, means the binding was finished. If the LED in the Control board is still flashing, it means the binding failed; please do the above-mentioned procedure again. Note: If the throttle stick is not in the lowest position (0 position) when you are binding, you have to move the throttle stick back to the lowest position, then move it to the top, and then back to the bottom, and then the throttle will be enabled.

Binding Procedure for “Mini SFHSS Sbus Receiver”
For the FTR version, the Sbus Receiver is pre-plugged into the control board. If you use other SFHSS radio instead of the existing radio, follow the steps below:

Power on the control board.
Press the black button in the Sbus Receiver for 2 seconds; its LED will flash quickly.
Power on the SFHSS radio. If the Sbus Receiver LED stops flashing, the binding is finished.

Take off Hand Launch

Use the 6G mode for takeoﬀ in ﬁrst ﬂights. Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on ﬂying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the Aircraft in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand.

Ground Launch

Take off from a hard and level runway.

Use the rudder control to keep the aircraft rolling straight.
Turn the aircraft only after it is high off the ground.

Flying

In 6G mode, when properly trimmed, your aircraft will climb at full throttle without the use of the elevator stick.

Try to ﬂy the ﬁrst few times for about 6 minutes to know more about the ﬂying capability.
If the motor pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂight battery.
Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the hardest things to do when learning to ﬂy. To practice piloting the aircraft, try ﬂying in large circles
high oﬀ the ground.

Landing

Fly to your runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Bring the aircraft down by lowering the throttle to 25%. Near the ground, fully lower the throttle and
Pull back on the steering stick.

CAUTION: Never catch a ﬂying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.

After Flying

Lower the throttle stick completely and do not move the steering stick. Wait at least 5 seconds.
Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft. Keep your hands away from the propeller.
Power oﬀ the transmitter.

Fully charge the aircraft battery.
Remove the battery after charging is complete.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁnished ﬂying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.

NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the aircraft before powering oﬀ the transmitter, or injury and damage may result.
