Do not exceed the 300 foot (91 m) radio range. If the connection is lost, the motors will power off and the aircraft will descend. Leave your transmitter powered on and move closer to your aircraft to regain control. • Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. • Always avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. Preflight Checklist 1. Find a safe and open area. 2. Charge flight battery. 3. Install flight battery in aircraft. 4. Perform Control Direction Test. 5. Plan flight for flying field conditions. 6. Set a flight timer for 5 minutes. 7. Have fun! RTF EN Transmitter Low Battery Alarm Power LED When the battery voltage drops too low, an Throttle alarm sounds and the LED flashes. The batteries must be replaced immediately. If this happens while flying, land your aircraft as soon and as Power safely as possible. Switch Battery Door Aircraft Battery Charging Port and LED Transmitter Batteries Installation Remove the battery cover, install the four included batteries (noting proper polarity) and reinstall the battery cover. ® Down Trim Steering Up / Down Left / Right Up Trim Right Trim Left Trim EN Charging Warnings The Duet transmitter has been designed to safely charge the included Li-Po battery. • 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 fire. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury and/or property damage. • 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 fire 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. • 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 fire. • Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results. Charging the Flight Battery Always charge the aircraft battery before flying. CAUTION: Do not store the Li-Po battery in the charger. Doing so could over-discharge the Li-Po battery. If the flight battery charging takes longer than 45 minutes AND the charge LED remains solid, replace the transmitter batteries. CHARGING (Solid Red)......................... READY (Blinking 20 sec. intervals) ......... 45 MIN. MAX CHARGE (off) ........................... RTF EN Installing the Flight Battery Keep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources or other transmitters while installing the battery. 1. CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft receiver when not flying 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 fire when batteries are charged. 2. CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propellers. Virtual Instructor™ stabilization will turn propellers in response to any aircraft movement. 3. Sec. For best flight performance, install the battery as shown. Keep immobile and out of the wind for 5 seconds. 4. Control Direction Test 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. Up Elevator (climb) Down Elevator (descend) Turn Right Turn Left 25% 25% ® EN Takeoff Hand Launch Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on flying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the model in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand. 2. Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h) 1. 100% Climbs at 100% throttle. Ground Launch Angled back. Install the landing gear as shown. • Takeoff from a hard and level runway. • Turn the aircraft only after it is high off the ground. 1. Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h) Gently pull back on the elevator stick to lift off of the ground. 2. 100% RTF EN Flying • Set a flight 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 flight. Throttle stick • 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 Flight Direction of Drift Familiarize yourself with your transmitter’s controls and the aircraft’s response before flying by performing the recommended Control Direction Test. Press the trim buttons on your transmitter to adjust how the aircraft flies. 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 drift If you press a trim button until no beep sounds and the aircraft does not fly straight and level, land and manually adjust the trim as described below. Manually Adjusting Trim Press 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 flights and small bends may be needed. ® Button to Correct EN Wind 0–5 mph (0–8 km/h) Landing Fly 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 flying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft. After Flying 1. 1. 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. 2. 3. NOTICE: When you are finished flying, 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. 4.
