After flight:

Important: After a hard landing you should alwas check your plane carefully, wether it has any damage. Sraighten all parts, which aren't settled correctly and, if needed replace

loose or damaged parts. Never repair defekt propellers, please replace them with the included air screws.

Storing the plane:

Keep your plane in the original box and in a safe place, to avoid damage. Always take out the flight accu and the batteries, to avoid damage caused by running out parts

Where and how to fly

Choose an open space, far away from houses,

power lines, trees and water, streets and airports.

Beginners should choose a calm day with no wind.

Completely pull out the antenna. Use the vane attached

to the antenna to check the wind force and direktion.

If the vane drifts in an angle of >30° you shouldn't fly.

Wind force OK Wind force too strong,

do not fly.

Special airstreams

Air currents may

occur behind

buildings, while drop

winds may occure

at steep slopes.

Avoid to fly in these

areas, because they

are dangerous.

Avoid the use of same frequencies!

Before starting your model make sure that there

are no other RC-models around you. A second

plane with the same frequency can cause

interferences what may lead into the loss of

control over your or the other plane. If you fly

with two or more models always check frequencies

before the start! If you have two models with the

same frequencies always stay at least 1km away

from the other plane.If you're not sure of the used

frequencies always keep this distance for savety

reasons!

Disposal information:

Please care for a environmental correct and legal way of disposing

the batteries and/or accus. Please, only throw away empty accus into the collect-

boxes in your local shops or commune. (Normally discharge the flying)accus, when

the model stops

2. Charging the flight accu

Recharge the flight accu at a socket with the in the box included

recharging gear. Because you don't known how much capacity is

left in the accu, you should check the temperature every 20

minutes, to avoid an overcharging. The recharging of an

empty accu takes about 3 hours. Make sure, that you don't

overcharge the accu, and let warm accus cool out befor

you recharge them.

The accu is fully recharged, when it gets warm (max. 45°C). Disconnect the accu from the recharging gear

and let it cool out completely, before you mount it in the model. As charging gear for 230V socket and 12V

connection (car battery) we suggest the X-Peak 5 Ordering No. 15 1900, which has an automatic charging

stop, when the accu is fullcharged.

Battery care

To conserve the performance of the battery, it should be completely discharged and recharged after every

10 flights.To do so, turn on the transmitter and keep the motors running, until they stop from alone. Recharge

the battery after it has cooled out. During the recharging, take care that the battery doesn't get to hot. If the battery

gets warm (~45°), disconnect it from the charger, it is completely charged now.

The flight time with constantly running motors is about 7 minutes. As soon as the motor stops from itself

(only proportional controlled models), land the model, to prevent a low level discharging of the batteries. Get

several more battery-packs to make longer flights, as long as your using one to fly, you can recharge the other.

1. Power for the transmitter

The transmitter should use 8AA Mignon Alkali-batteries or

Ni-Mh-Akkus. Take care that you are always using full batteries

and accus for flight. Open the cover and put 8 Mignon-Cells or

accus into the transmitter.When starting up the transmitter,

red and green lights have to glow.

If the lights are not glowing or if the are glowing weak, do not

start the model under all circumstances, because it could get

out of control.

Also check the indication during the flight, if the green lamp

glows weaker, or stops glowing, land the model as soon as

possible.

Change Batteries, or recharge them with a common recharging

gear.

Power supply

3. Power supply for the receiver, servos and the motor:

The power supply for the RC-components is through the BEC-support of the

flight battery. To secure a save power supply, the RC-components are

connected to the ESC or the motor switch, what secures a save landing

even if the battery is almost empty.

IMPORTANT!

1. First turn on the loaded transmitter.

Be sure that the motor switch is turned off.

2. Now the flight battery can be connected.

3. After the flight, first disconnect the flight battery.

Insert the flight battery through

the plane's battery-window.

Assembly

Attachment of the wing linkage:

Connect the rudder-linkage with the rudder-horn

as shown in the picture. Bend the linkage that the

rudder is even with the wing. Rookies should use

soft or medium sensitivity.

Mount the main-wing by using the elastic

bands. Mount 2 bands crossed and 2 bands

parallel. (Like shown in the picture)

Use a small amount of glue and fix the

tail-gear with a small stripe of

adhessive tape.

Mount the wing-mounts like shown in

the picture.

After the glue is completely dry, check

the position of the tail-gear.

Mount the rudder and wing into the

slots in the fuselage using a small

amount of glue.

You can adjust the tail-gear’s position

by bending the rod’s sleeve.

Irrtum und technische Änderungen vorbehalten

Kopie und Nachdruck, auch auszugsweise,

nur mit Genehmigung von JAMARA.

Start by hand

During the flight:

The flight direction is controlled by rudder and aileron. The model will be positioned in direction by moving over the

mainwing. When you fly to narrow turns, the model begins to sink slightly. You can control this by giving a little more

elevator.

Rise and sink is controlled by the elevator. Note that your model may tilt if the rising angle becomes to high due to the

loss of torque. If that happens put the controll sticks to neutral position. Due to its contruction, the plane will stabilize

itself. Especially when you fly near the ground take care that you fly allways fast enough.

Trim:

If your model flies corners without steering use the trim function of the

rudder and aileron to make sure that the plane flies straight on. If the

model rises or sinks without steering use the trim function of the elevator

to control that.

Maybe it's necessary to change the center of gravity

(as mentioned below!)

How to land:

As soon as the plane won't rise anymore with running Motor or the Motor

is stalled by the electronic speed control or power switch, you should

begin the landing. Keep the plane on a height of approx. 30m and pass

the pilot with the wind in the back of the plane. At approx. 20m height

turn the aircraft 180° and fly against the wind. Right before

ground-contact slightly pull the elevator to flatten your landing-angle.

Adjust the center of gravity

With the motor stalled and the elevator in neutral position the airplane

should glide with a slight sinking. If it's flying up and down all the time,

the center of gravity is to far back. Position the battery a little more to

the front. If it's sinking to fast the center of gravity is to far in the front.

Position the battery a little more to the back. Always use small steps

and save the battery from moving by placing foam dices around the battery

Flight instructions

Take off:

Check winddirection and windspeed by using a frequency flag.

Please don't start with strong winds. You may perhaps loose control of your plane!

You can launch the plane in two different ways: By hand or from the ground on a hard surface.

Always start against the wind! Set the throttle control stick to off position. Push the red start button on the

fuselage to allow the motor to turn. Set the speed control to full throttle and throw the airplane against the wind.

When starting from the ground move the airplane down a straight line by using the rudder. When the plane has

reached enough speed slightly pull the elevator.

No matter what kind of launching method you prefer keep care that the speed is high enough!

Always be very careful when flying your airplane.
