Battery Charging
Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery while you inspect the aircraft. The fl ight battery will be required to confi rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.
Battery Charging Process
NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
1. Attach the input cord of the charger to the appropriate power supply (12V accessory outlet).
2. When the Li-Po charger has been correctly powered up, there will be an approximate 3-second delay, then an audible “beep” and the green (ready) LED will fl ash.
3. Turn the control on the Amps selector so the arrow points to the charging rate required for the battery (the included 2200mAh Li-Po battery will charge at
2.0 amps, which is 1C). DO NOT change the charge rate once the battery begins charging.
4. Move the cell selector switch to 3-cell for your battery.
5. Connect the Balancing Lead of the Battery to the 3-cell (it has 4 pins) charger port.
6. The green and red LEDs may fl ash during the charging process when the charger is balancing cells. Balancing prolongs the life of the battery.
7. When the battery is fully charged, there will be an audible beep for approximately 3 seconds and the green LED will glow solid. Attempting to charge an over-discharged battery will cause the charger to repeatedly fl ash and beep, indicating an error has occurred.
8. Always disconnect the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.
CAUTION : Never exceed the recommended charge rate, overcharging a battery can cause a fi re.
CAUTION : Only use a charger specifi cally designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re causing injury or property damage.
CAUTION: The balance connector must be inserted into the correct port of your charger prior to charging.

Flying Tips and Repairs
IMPORTANT: Even though SAFE technology is a very helpful tool, the aircraft still needs to be fl own manually. If incorrect input is given at lower altitudes or at slower speeds, the aircraft can crash.
Choose a Flying Field
In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is very important to select a place to fl y that is very open. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 1300 feet (400m) of clear space in all directions.
• Stay clear of pedestrians.
• Stay free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could entangle your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
Remember, your aircraft can reach signifi cant speeds when fl ying and can cover ground quickly. Plan on fl ying in an area that gives you more space than you think you need, especially with fi rst fl ights
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fl y, range check the radio system. Refer to your specifi c transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
Oscillation
Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the fi rst time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.
In some fl ight conditions you may see oscillation (the aircraft rocks back and forth on one axis due to overcontrol). If oscillation occurs, refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information.
Hand Launching
When hand-launching your aircraft alone, hold the aircraft in one hand and the transmitter in the other.
Apply about 1/2–3/4 throttle. Hold the aircraft on the underside and throw the aircraft directly into the wind, angled slightly up (5 to 10 degrees above the horizon). Climb to a safe altitude and check the trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the fl ight envelope of the aircraft.
Landing
If landing on grass, use the same approach as if fl ying an aircraft with landing gear. Start your fl are with the power off about 1 foot above the ground and hold the nose off until the tail touches down. Try to keep the wings level to prevent grabbing a wing and turning the aircraft sideways.
NOTICE
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: When you are fi nished fl ying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
CAUTION: Never catch a fl ying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.
Always decrease throttle at propeller strike.
Repairs
Repair this aircraft using CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
LVC is a mechanism built into your ESC to protect the battery from overdischarge. When the battery charge is too low, LVC limits power supplied to the motor. The aircraft will begin to slow and you will hear the motor pulse. When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the fl ight battery.
Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
Prolong the life of your Battery
• Before storage, charge your battery to about half capacity. Capacity decreases with use and age.
• During storage, ensure the charge does not fall below 3V per cell.
