PERFORMANCE TIPS
SET UP
1. Use clear household tape to repair tears, creases or cracks. Use sparingly as added weight will affect performance.
2. Dirt or mud on the vehicle can affect its operation. Use a clean, dry cloth to remove any dirt immediately. If the vehicle gets wet, turn it off and allow
it to dry completely overnight.
3. When the vehicle does not respond, slows down, or loses range, recharge the vehicle. If performance does not improve following a recharge, install
fresh alkaline batteries in the controller.
4. Radio interference can affect your vehicle’s performance. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running on the same frequency, electrical
wires, large buildings, WiFi or Bluetooth. If you experience interference, turn off your vehicle and controller and relocate to a different area.
5. When exposed to an electrostatic source, the toy may malfunction. Switch OFF both the vehicle and controller. Remove batteries from the controller,
wait 30 seconds, re-insert batteries and switch ON again. This should reset your controller / vehicle and let you resume normal operation.
Landing: Pull back on the throttle joystick and the vehicle will
descend. Just before the vehicle touches the ground, push the throttle
joystick forward a little and then let go. This will level the vehicle off so
it does not crash nose first into the ground.
Steering: Keep the throttle joystick still and slowly push the
steering joystick left or right. Return the steering joystick to the
center position once the vehicle is flying in the direction you want.
1. Give yourself plenty of flying room. For best results, operate vehicle in a wide open area.
2. Avoid buildings, trees and power lines as they may obstruct your flight path.
3. PLAY SAFELY – Do not drive or fly vehicle in the street! Watch out for people, animals and obstacles.
4. DO NOT attempt to operate your vehicle in strong winds. Wind will make it difficult to fly safely and will reduce battery life and flying
time. Remember that the wind may be stronger higher up in the sky than at ground level.
Switch controller and vehicle on, synchronize them and then select FLIGHT ( ) Mode.
• Launching into a gentle breeze will allow the vehicle to take off with the least amount of runway space.
• Make small, smooth and slow movements on the throttle and steering joysticks.
• Vehicle can be hand launched by holding it directly under the wings, then pushing the throttle joystick completely forward and gently throwing the
vehicle ahead, parallel to the ground.
• Point your controller up, not down toward your vehicle. If your vehicle gets too far away, it won’t work properly.
• Don't drive your vehicle in sand or through water or snow. Do not immerse in water. If your vehicle or controller does get wet, wipe it with a towel,
remove batteries, and allow to dry completely overnight. Replace with fresh batteries before next use.
Taking Off: Place the vehicle on the ground and stand behind it.
Push the throttle joystick completely forward until the vehicle begins to
take flight. If the plane veers right or left during take off, push the
steering joystick to the opposite direction to keep moving forward.
Once you've reached your desired altitude, slowly pull back
on the throttle joystick to level off.
Maintaining Flight: To increase altitude, push the throttle
joystick forward.
You must pair the controller with the vehicle before you can control it.
FIRST SWITCH ON THE VEHICLE, THEN IMMEDIATELY SWITCH ON THE
CONTROLLER. The controller power switch changes from a flashing green
light to a solid green light when pairing is complete. If the green light does
not stop flashing after a few seconds, switch off the controller and vehicle,
then try again.
NOTE:
WHEN PLAYING WITH MULTIPLE VEHICLES, EACH MUST BE PAIRED
ONE AT A TIME. A maximum of 6 vehicles can be paired in one location.
• FULLY CHARGE THE
BATTERY BEFORE STORING FOR AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF TIME (6 MONTHS OR LONGER). PERIODIC CHARGING
EVERY FEW MONTHS IS RECOMMENDED TO EXTEND BATTERY LIFE WHEN NOT IN USE. DO NOT STORE NEAR HEAT OR IN DIRECT
SUNLIGHT.
•
DO NOT DISASSEMBLE THE VEHICLE'S PERMANENTLY INSTALLED LiPo (Lithium Polymer) BATTERY. IT IS A SEALED LiPo BATTERY.
TO PROPERLY
RECYCLE, FOLLOW LOCAL LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY RECYCLING GUIDELINES.
• DO NOT RECHARGE THE VEHICLE IF IT FEELS HOT. ALLOW IT TO COOL BEFORE RECHARGING.
• VEHICLE IS ONLY TO BE CHARGED USING THE CONTROLLER/CHARGER SUPPLIED. DO NOT CHARGE THE LiPo BATTERY IN ANY OTHER
BATTERY CHARGER.
• DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE OR CHARGE THE VEHICLE IF IT SHOWS SIGNS OF LEAKAGE OR CORROSION.
• IF THE VEHICLE AND/OR CONTROLLER ARE WET, THOROUGHLY DRY BEFORE USING OR CHARGING.
• REGULARLY EXAMINE ALL WIRES AND CONNECTORS. IN THE EVENT OF DAMAGE, DISCONTINUE USE.
It is recommended that you check the vehicle's alignment before playing.
Ground Mode
1. Switch controller to GROUND ( ) Mode.
2. Push the throttle joystick forward to see if the vehicle will drive straight.
3. If the vehicle veers right, stop the vehicle and press the left alignment adjustment
button 2 or 3 times.
4. If the vehicle veers left, press the right alignment adjustment button 2 or 3 times.
5. Repeat steps 3 or 4 until the vehicle can travel in a straight line.
Flight Mode
1. Switch controller to FLIGHT ( ) Mode.
2.
Push the throttle joystick forward until the vehicle takes off.
3. The vehicle may veer to one side because of wind or turbulence. Use the steering
joystick to make the vehicle fly straight and level and then let go of the joystick.
4. Observe the vehicle and see if it will fly straight or veer to one side.
5. If the vehicle veers right, stop the vehicle and press the left alignment adjustment
button 2 or 3 times.
6. If the vehicle veers left, press the right alignment adjustment button 2 or 3 times.
7. Repeat steps 5 or 6 until the vehicle can fly in a straight line.
NOTE:
Alignment adjustment settings reset when controller is switched off and will need to
be checked before each use. The alignment adjustment button can be pressed a
maximum of 15 times in either direction.
CHARGING WITH THE CONTROLLER
1. To charge, first make sure you have installed 6 AA alkaline batteries in the controller and that both the controller and vehicle are switched
OFF ( ).
2. Open the cover on the controller and take out the charging cable (see ).
3. Insert the charging plug firmly into the socket under the vehicle. Make sure the connection is secure (see ).
4. To begin charging, move the controller power switch from OFF ( ) to CHARGE ( ). A red light in the power switch will turn on. This indicates the
vehicle is charging. (see ).
5. The charging process takes approximately 80 minutes or more. The red light will go off when charging is complete.
6. Move the controller power switch from CHARGE ( ) to OFF ( ).
7. Hold the charging plug and gently pull it out of the socket. NEVER pull on the cable as this may cause the cable to break.
8. Replace the charging cable into the controller and close the cover.
9. The vehicle will usually have about 5-6 minutes of flight time once fully charged.
MUST CHARGE VEHICLE BEFORE FIRST USE. CHARGE TIME IS APPROXIMATELY 80 MINUTES OR MORE.
