is not

used

for a

longer period

of

time(e.

g.

storage),

remove

the

inserted

batteries

(or

rechargeable batteries) from

the

remote control

to

avoid damage from

leaking batteries/rechargeable batteries

or

products.

Recharge

the

batteries

of the

same

type

and

manufacturer.

It is

possible

to

operate

the

remote control (transmitter)

with

rechargeable

batteries

instead

of

standard

batteries.

However,

the low

voltage

(batteries=1.

5V/cell, rechargeable

batteries=1.

2V/cell)

and

the

lower capacity

of

rechargeable batteries

does

lead

to a

decrease

of

the

operating

time.

However, normally this

does

not

matter,

since

the

operating

time

of the

transmitter

is far

beyond

of the

model airplane.

If

you use

batteries

in the

remote control,

we

recommend

the use of

hight-quality

alkaline batteries.

When

using rechargeable

batteries

there

can be a

GETTING STARTED WITH

THE

TRANSMITTER

Please

note:

:::;;;:,,;:;:;

In the

operating

Instructions,

the

numbers

in the

text

always refer

to the

figure opposite

or the

figures

within

the

section.

Cross

references

to

other

figures

are

indicated

with

the

respective figure number.

a)

Inserting

the

Batteries/Rechargeable Batteries

For

the

power supply

of the

transmitter

you

will

need

eight

mignon

alkaline

batteries

or

rechargeable batteries

(AA).

For

ecological

and

also

economical

reasons,

it is

recommended

to use

rechargeable

batteries,

since they

can be

recharged

in the

transmitter

via a

built-in

charging socket.

To

insert

the

batteries

or

rechargeable

batteries,

procedures

are as

follows.

The

battery compartment

lid(1)

Is

located

on

the

rear side

of the

connected

to the

student

socket.

b)

Charging Rechargeable Batteries

in the

Transmitter

The

transmitter

is

equipped

with

a

charge

socket

to

charge

the

inserted rechargeable

batteries.

Please

pay

attention

to the

following

safety

instructions

and

information:

|

If the

transmitter

is

turned

on,

please

do not

connect

the

adapter

with

the

battery

(1.

5V/cell)

must

not be

recharged. There

is a

risk

of

fire

and

explosion!

Only

charge rechargeable batteries

(1.

2V/cell) intended

for

this purpose.

The

transmitter

has to be

switched

off

during

the

charging

process.

Please

also

observe

the

correct

polarity

of the

connector plug.

The

inner contact

of

the

charge

socket

has to be

connected

to the

plus connection

(+) and the

outside

contact

to the

minus connection

(-) of the

charger.

The

charging current should

be

approx.

1/10

of the

capacity value

of the

inserted

rechargeable

batteries.

For

rechargeable batteries

with

a

capacity

of

2000

mAh

this

corresponds

to a

charging current

of

approx.

200

mA

and the

charging

time

takes

approx

14

hours.

In

order

to

avoid

damages

of

internal

circuit

paths

and

connections

don'

t use

fast

chargers.

please

Since

a

protective diode

is

integrated

in the

transmitter,

do not use

chargers

that

briefly

interrupt

the

charging current

in

order

to

measure

the

current

rechargeable

battery voltage

in

this

case,

the

rechargeable batteries must

be

removed

from

the

transmitter.

With

NiCd

rechargeable batteries

a

memory effect

can

occur.

If

NiCd

rechargeable

batteries

are

charged when they

are not

fully

discharged,

their

capacity

diminishes

in the

course

of

time.

Thus,

such

rechargeable batteries

must

be

discharged

with

an

appropriate charger outside

of the

transmitter

and

then charged completely again.

c)

Switching

the

Transmitter

On/off

Attention!

•

The

flight

control

system

in the

model

is

equipped

with

an

effective protective

I

circuit

which

later

prevents

the

unintentional start-up

of

the

drive motor.

llS;

However,

before

each

operation

of the

transmitter,

you

must

ensure

that

the

control stick

for the

motor

rotation

speed

is in

the

Motor

off

position.

For

this purpose,

the

control stick

has to be

pushed

down completely

or

pulled

towards

you as far as

possible.

Sine

unlike

with

the

control functions

of

the

rudder,

there

is no

reset spring

for the

stick function

for the

motor

rotation

speed,

the

control stick

always

remains

in the

previously

set

position.

When

the

rechargeable batteries

are

charged

or

when

new

batteries

are

inserted,

for

test

purposes,

switch

the

transmitter

on via the

function switch.

The LED

display glows

red and

signals

an

adequate power supply

to the

transmitter.

If the

power

supply

does

not

suffice

for the

transmitter

to

work properly (lower than

8. 8V)

the

LED's

red

light

will

be

continuous flashing.

In

this

case,

you

should stop operating

your model

as

quickly

as

possible.

For

further operation

of the

transmitter

the

rechargeable batteries

are to be

recharged

or

new

batteries must

be

inserted.

PREFLIGHT

If you are new to

flying

R/C

aircraft,

or a

seasoned

modeler,

we

recommend

you

have

a

fellow

R/C

modeler help

you

with

the

first

flight.

Some

items

you

will

need

to

complete

on

your

first

preflight

are:

1.

Aircraft assembled correctly

and

ready

for

flight.

2. All

control throws

and

expos

are set per

this

manual.

3.

fully

charged

and on

correct

model.

7.

Complete

a

radio

Range

Check

per

your radio manual.

8.

Wait

for a

calm

or

light

wind

day for

first

flights.

9.

If you are new to R/C

flying,

consider having

an

accomplished

flyer

make

the

first

flight

and

trim

the

aircraft.

A

buddy-box

training

system

is

also very

helpful.

Flying

Takeoffs,

landings,

and

light

aerobatics

are

easy

and

well

behaved.

The

twin

75mm

fans

produce powerful

thrust

at

moderate

velocity,

perfect

for

scale

A-10

flying.

Even

if you are new to

EOF

flying

the

A~10

should

be an

easy

transition.

Always

take-off

into

the

wind

and

land

into

the

wind.

We

personally recommend

the use of a

buddy-box

training

system

for new

pilots.

Landings

are

best accomplished

with

a

tiny

amount

of

throttle.

You can

expect

flight

times

of

5~8

minutes depending

on

battery

used

and

throttle

management.

We

hope

you

enjoy

you'

re

A-10

Warthog

Happy

Landings!
