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.

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.
