Valuable

experience

1.

If you

have

a

simulator

we

recommend that

you

practice with

it

before

you fly

your J-3. This

will

be

very

helpful

for

your first flight.

2.

Check

and

make sure

all the

control surfaces work normally

and

move towards

the

right

direction before

flying.

3.

We

recommend

that

you

take

the

model

up to a

height

of

around 100m

and

then cruise

at

around

1/3

power.

This will

be

helpful

for ou to get

familiar with

the

performance.

4.

Users should control

the

airplane gently

to

reduce

the

risk

of

crash,

and to

prolong

the

working time

of

the airplane.

5.

The

turning radius should

not be too

tight

or the

aircraft could become

out of

control very quickly which

could

result

in an

incident that

you did not

intend.

6.

Please make sure

to

take

off

into

the

wind.

The

beginners

had

better

fly in

breeze

and up

wing area.

to the

symbol

of

battery's polarity, then turn

on the

transmitter. Install

the

full

charged

flight

battery into

the

battery

compartment

of the

fuselage,

and

connect

the

plug

of

battery with

the

electronic Speed Controller.

To

make

sure

the

radio control system

is

working well,

you

should follow

the

instruction: turn

on the

transmitter before

flying

(connecting

the

battery with

ESC

plug);

and

turn

off the

power

for

receiver

first when stop operation (pulling

out

battery

and ESC

plug), then turn

off the

transmitter.

2. The

right joystick

of

transmitter controls

the

aileron

by

turning left

or

right:

when

you

push

the

joystick

on the

left,

the

left aileron

of

plane

will

turn

up and the

right aileron

of

plane

will

turn

down

in

response

to

your action, vice versa. Before flying,

put the

trim

of

aileron

to the

middle position,

and

then adjust

the

both ailerons

to the

neutral position with

the

clevis.

3 The

movement

of the

left joystick

in the

transmitter controls

the

power

of

motor. When holding

the

fuselage

of the

plane,

please

keep

other

objects

away

from

the

propeller

in

case

of

hurting

people

or

damaging

the

propeller.

If you

push

the

left joystick

in the

lowest position,

the

power

of the

motor

will

cease.

Now the

motor

is on

standby.

You

could check

the

performance

of the

motor

by

pushing

the

joystick

up

slowly.

4. The up and

down

of the

right joystick

of

transmitter controls

the

movement

of the

elevator. When

you

push

the

joystick down,

the

elevator

of

plane will

be

flying

up,

vice versa.

The

best state before

flying

is the

elevator, joysticks

and

trim

are all in the

neutral position.

5.

The

left joystick

in

transmitter control

the

rudder: when

you

push

the

joystick

on the

right,

the

rudder

of

plane will turn right

in

response

to

your action, vice versa. Rudder, joystick trim should

be

in

the

middle before flying.

6. If the

servos

and

motor give

no

response during

the

adjustment, please check

the

connection

of the

servos

and ESC and

make sure

the

battery

is

fully charged.

7.

Check

the CG of the

model.

The

proper

CG

position should

be

75~85mm away from

the

leading

edge, please refer

to the

picture.

If in any

doubt contact your dealer.

Note:

The

transmitter

and

receiver should

be

used

in the

same

set but not be

mixed

and

used with

other products.
