FLIGHT PREPARATION
Flight preparation is to be done at the flying field.
If you are an inexperienced pilot, be certain your flight instructor performs these following checks with you.
Check the controls
1. Get the frequency clip from the frequency control board at your flying site if the site has a clip for 2.4GHz.
2. Mount the wing to the fuselage. Turn on the transmitter, then the receiver (remember to do this in reverse order when turning
off the system). Be certain the correct model memory matching the model you will be flying is the one on the LCD screen.
3. Operate and observe the controls. Look for inadvertent movement and listen for abnormal servo sounds. If problems are
noted, correct them before flying. Look for binding pushrods or servo arms or pushrods that interfere with each other.
4. One at a time, operate each control on the airplane using the sticks on the transmitter to make certain each control
is responding correctly. This
must be done before every flight. (There are several types of malfunctions that can be
discovered by performing this elementary task, thus saving your model!)
Range check the radio
A range check must be performed before the first flight of a new model. It is not necessary to do a range check before every
flight (but is not a bad idea to perform a range check before the first flight of each day). A range check is the final opportunity
to reveal any radio malfunctions, and to be certain the system has adequate operational range.
1. We have installed a special "Power Down Mode" for doing a ground range check. To activate the "Power Down Mode"
please hold down the “Mode” key and then turn the transmitter switch on. During this mode, the RF power is reduced so the
range test can be performed. When this mode is active the red LED on the back of the transmitter starts blinking and the
green LED is solid. In addition, when the mode is activated the transmitter gives users a warning with a beep sound every 3
seconds, and visual indication.
2. Walk away from the model while simultaneously operating the controls. Have an assistant stand by the model and signal
what the controls are doing to confirm that they operate correctly. You should be able to walk approximately 30 - 50 paces
from the model without losing control.
3. If everything operates correctly, return to the model. Set the transmitter in a safe, yet accessible location so it will be within
reach after starting the engine. Be certain the throttle stick is all the way
down, then start the engine. Perform another
range check with your assistant holding the plane and the engine running at various speeds. If the servos jitter or move
inadvertently, there may be a problem.
Do not fly the plane! Look for loose servo connections or binding pushrods. Also be
certain that the battery has been fully charged.
4. The "Power Down Mode" continues for 60 seconds and after that the power will go back to the normal level.
To exit the "Power Down Mode" before the 60 seconds, press the "MODE" key again. This mode is available 1 time only so
if you need to re-use this function the transmitter power must be cycled.
5. NEVER start flying when the "Power Down Mode" is active.
Do not fly in the rain!
Moisture may enter the transmitter through the antenna or stick openings and cause erratic operation or loss of control. If you
must fly in wet weather during a contest, be sure to cover the transmitter with a plastic bag or other waterproof cover.
MODEL DATA RECORDING SHEET
After finalizing the programming for each model, fill out the values and settings in the
Model Data Recording Sheets in the
back of the manual. The data sheets will serve as a backup in case a program is ever lost or inadvertently reset, or in case you
have to intentionally reset a program to make room for another model. Make additional copies before filling out the sheets.
