Installing the Flight Battery
CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight
battery from the aircraft 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.
1. Make sure the throttle is in the off position and
turn on the transmitter.
2. Open the battery hatch on the bottom of the
aircraft and plug in the flight battery.
3. Install the flight battery into the aircraft as shown
and close the hatch.
4. Power on the aircraft.
CAUTION: Keep away from the propellers.
Control Test
CAUTION: Keep away from the propellers, they will spin up
during the control test.
The Ascent™ MTx aircraft relies on motor thrust to climb, descend and
turn. Always perform a control test before flight to ensure the motors
are working properly.
1. Turn the aircraft on as shown
above.
2. Turn the transmitter on.
3. Hold the aircraft so it does not
escape your control.
4. Arm the motors by first moving
the left stick to 100% and then
back down to 0%.
5. Move the sticks on the
transmitter to ensure the
motors respond as shown.
Arm the motors
Throttle on (100%)
Turn Left/ Right motor spins
Turn Right/ Left motor spins
Tip: To check the Left and Right
turn, keep the throttle at 0% and
note which motor spins.
If the motors do not react as
shown, refer to the Binding
instructions and Troubleshooting
Guide in this manual.

Flying
Taking Off
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.
Wind 0–5 mph
(0–8 km/h)
1. Face into the wind and apply 1/2 (50%) throttle.
2. Hold the plane horizontal and launch straight and
level into the wind.
3. The aircraft will climb under full throttle (100%).
4. Reduce to 50% throttle once the plane is at a
safe altitude (50-75 feet) to level out.
5. Use the throttle to control altitude.
Throttle stick
Turning
To turn the aircraft make small controlled movements with the right stick.
For a right hand turn:
1. Move the right stick slowly to the right.
2. Once the turn begins, add in a little throttle to maintain
altitude.
3. Use gentle stick movements to continue the turn to the right.
•
If the turn is too wide, add more right stick.
•
If the turn is too tight, add less right stick.
4. To stop the turn, gently release the right stick and lower the throttle to maintain level flight.
Tip: Try to finish the turn at the same altitude it was started from.
For a left hand turn, follow steps above, moving the stick to the left.
