RTFEN5The Duet transmitter has been designed to safely charge the included Li-Po battery.CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a ﬁ re, personal injury and/or property damage.• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries. • If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in ﬁ re. • Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results. • Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 40–120° F. Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch ﬁ re. • Always inspect the battery before charging. Never charge damaged batteries.• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a ﬁ re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load. • Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.• Never leave charging batteries unattended.Charging WarningsAlways charge the aircraft battery before ﬂ ying.CAUTION: Do not store the Li-Po battery in the charger. Doing so could over-discharge the Li-Po battery. If the ﬂ ight battery charging takes longer than 45 minutes AND the charge LED remains solid, replace the transmitter batteries.Charging the Flight BatteryCHARGING (Solid Red) .........................READY (Blinking 20 sec. intervals) .........MAX CHARGE (off) ...........................45MIN.

EN6®Installing the Flight BatteryKeep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources or other transmitters while installing the battery.CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po ﬂ ight battery from the aircraft receiver when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propellers. Virtual Instructor™ stabilization will turn propellers in response to any aircraft movement.Control Direction TestUp Elevator (climb) Down Elevator (descend)Turn Right25%Turn Left25%5Sec.Keep immobile and out of the wind for 5 seconds.For best ﬂ ight performance, install the battery as shown.1. Face the aircraft away from you. 2. Restrain the aircraft so it does not escape your control while you are testing your transmitter controls.3. Move the sticks on the transmitter to ensure the aircraft responds as shown. Refer to the Binding instructions and Troubleshooting Guide in this manual for more information. If you need more assistance, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department. 3.1.2.4.

RTFEN7Takeoff Hand LaunchGet help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on ﬂ ying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the model in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand.Ground LaunchInstall the landing gear as shown.• Takeoff from a hard and level runway.• Turn the aircraft only after it is high off the ground.Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h)Climbs at 100% throttle.Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h)Gently pull back on the elevator stick to lift off of the ground.1.2.1.2.100%100%Angled back.

EN8®Flying• Set a ﬂ ight timer for 5 minutes• Always make deliberate and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft.If you feel you are losing control, release the right (steering) stick to allow the aircraft to slowly return to level ﬂ ight.• When you notice that the aircraft no longer climbs while under full power or the motors begin to pulse, immediately land the aircraft and recharge the battery.Adjusting Trim in FlightFamiliarize yourself with your transmitter’s controls and the aircraft’s response before ﬂ ying by performing the recommended Control Direction Test. Press the trim buttons on your transmitter to adjust how the aircraft ﬂ ies.If the aircraft’s nose drifts while the steering stick is at neutral (centered) and the throttle is at 50%, press the trim buttons:• Upper button to stop up drift • Lower button to stop down drift• Left button to stop right drift• Right button to stop left driftIf you press a trim button until no beep sounds and the aircraft does not ﬂ y straight and level, land and manually adjust the trim as described below.Manually Adjusting TrimPress the trim buttons to return to center (3 beeps will sound), then use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal connector (A):• Narrow if the aircraft’s nose drifts up. • Widen if the aircraft’s nose drifts down.Short test ﬂ ights and small bends may be needed.™Throttle stickADirection of Drift Button to Correct

RTFEN9Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h)1.3.2.4.LandingFly to your runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Bring the aircraft down by lowering the throttle to 25%. Near the ground, fully lower the throttle and pull back on the steering stick.CAUTION: Never catch a ﬂ ying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft.After Flying1. Lower the throttle stick completely and do not move the steering stick. Wait at least 5 seconds. 2. Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft. Keep hands away from the propellers.3. Power off the transmitter.4. Fully charge the aircraft battery.5. Remove the battery after charging is complete.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 foam.NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the aircraft before powering off the transmitter or injury and damage may result.
