PANIC Function

If you become disoriented or the aircraft is in an unknown or
uncomfortable attitude:
1. Press and hold the Bind/PANIC button on the transmitter
and release the control sticks. The aircraft will immediately
pull out of a dive and roll wings upright and level.
10 Landing
1. Reduce the throttle to around 50% to slow the airspeed.
2. Turn the aircraft into the wind and line the aircraft up
with the runway center line.
3. Decrease the throttle further and begin descending
towards the runway, keeping the wings level during
approach. Try to have the aircraft at approximately
10ft (3m) altitude as it passes over the threshold of
the runway.
4. Decrease the throttle fully as the aircraft passes over
the threshold.
5. Just as the aircraft is about to touch down, gently
pull back on the elevator to raise the nose and fl are
for a gentle landing.
6. When the aircraft comes to a stop, set the motor
switch to "DISARM."

Always keep
hands away from
the propeller. When
armed, the motor
will turn the
propeller in
response to any
throttle movement.
8 Takeoff and Flying
With the throttle stick at the lowest position, set the motor
switch to "ARM."
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the
propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the
propeller in response to any throttle movement.
Position the model to take off into the wind. Slowly increase the
throttle. Small rudder inputs may be required for heading correction.
Trim the aircraft for hands-free, straight and level fl ight. When
properly trimmed, the aircraft will climb at full throttle without
the use of the elevator.
While fl ying in beginner mode, if you begin to lose control,
release the control sticks and the aircraft will self-level.
2. Release the PANIC button and continue your fl ight.
WARNING: The PANIC recovery function will not
avoid obstacles in the aircraft fl ight path.
After Your Flight

Do not approach the aircraft until the propeller has stopped
spinning. When you are done fl ying, disconnect the battery (A) and
remove it from the aircraft, then power off the transmitter (B).

CAUTION: Always keep hands, hair and loose clothing
away from the propeller when disconnecting the battery.
Inspect the airframe for loose or damaged parts.
IMPORTANT: When fi nished fl ying, never keep the aircraft in
the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such
as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
