SAFETY INFORMATION
Adults, this toy is recommended for children 8 years of age and older. To ensure that the child’s play is both safe and fun, please
review the operating instructions and these general safety rules with the child.
• Keep fingers, hair and loose clothing away from the propellers while the plane is switched ON.
• Adult supervision is recommended when the plane is being operated.
• To avoid accidental operation, remove all removable batteries when not in use and turn off the plane.
• If the plane and/or charger get wet, discontinue use until they are completely dry. Thoroughly wipe off all moisture and allow
them to air-dry completely before use.
• DO NOT fly in the street! Make sure you have plenty of open space in all directions.
• Regularly inspect the antenna for cracks or breaks. DO NOT bend the transmitter antenna when extended. DO NOT use the
transmitter if the antenna is broken.
• The wire antenna is fragile. Never pull or tug on the antenna, as it may loosen or detach from the plane. Never coil or knot the
antenna.
• Use only the charger supplied with this toy, do not use any other charging source.
1. Radio interference can make the plane fly poorly. Interference can be caused by other R/C vehicles running on the same frequency,
electrical wires, large buildings, or CB radios. Try to stay away from these!
2. Flying time may change depending on air conditions and on your flying style. When the plane fails to respond, slows down, or loses
range, recharge it. If performance does not improve following a recharge, install fresh alkaline batteries in the charger.
3. For the greatest range, make sure the transmitter antenna is pointed up…and make sure the wire antenna on the plane is straight
and dangling.
4. Because the plane is sensitive to extra weight, dirt or mud on the plane can affect its operation. Use a clean dry cloth to remove any
dirt or mud immediately. If the plane gets wet, it's important not to operate it until it's completely dry, inside and outside. Wipe
surfaces with a towel and allow the plane to air-dry until it's dry…overnight at least.
5. Do not store the plane near heat or in direct sunlight. Always turn switches OFF and remove all removable batteries for storage.
Gliding: Remove the Power Pack™ System and replace with the center weight.
Orient the plug into the plane so that the weight is to the REAR for the Bi-plane and towards the front for the single wing planes.
Gently throw the glider in as straight a line as possible. See how far it'll go!

It takes a little time and practice to become an ace pilot. If you still have difficulty flying the plane, please check this
troubleshooting guide. Usually the problem is a simple one…with a quick solution.
1. Check all removable batteries. Make sure connections are secure. You may need to replace the transmitter battery, and/or the
charger batteries, with fresh alkaline batteries.
2. Check air conditions. DO NOT attempt to operate the plane in in windy conditions.
3. Check antennas. Make sure the wire antenna is straight and dangling below the plane.
4. Check the plane for dirt or mud and clean it if necessary.
5. After landing, make sure the wing and fuselage assemblies are properly aligned.
6. Check that the Power Pack™ System motors are perpendicular to the wing.
7. If the propellers on the plane spin with no signal from the transmitter, turn off the Power Pack™ System and relocate to an
area with no signal interference.
8. When you first take off, if the plane is turning to the right without your steering the plane then you need to turn the left
propeller away from the fuselage. Try flying the plane again and repeat as necessary until you achieve straight level flight.
If the plane is making a left hand turn you will need to turn the right propeller away from the fuselage.
9. TRIM: If the plane does not fly straight, you can adjust the motor angles on the plane to achieve straight flight. If the plane
veers to the right, rotate the LEFT motor/propeller inward. If the plane veers to the left, rotate the RIGHT motor/propeller
inward.

The Power Pack™ system is powered by an internal LiPo battery that is permanently installed. It must be charged before using.
To charge, first make sure you have installed 6 "AA" (LR6) alkaline batteries in the TRANSMITTER/CHARGER as shown earlier.
Then follow these easy steps:
1. Make sure both Power Pack™ system power switch and the TRANSMITTER/CHARGER are in the OFF position.
2. Open the door on the TRANSMITTER/CHARGER as shown.
3. Plug the TRANSMITTER/CHARGER’S wire connector into the PLANE as shown. Make sure the connection is
secure.
4. Move the power switch on the TRANSMITTER/CHARGER to the very bottom notch position.
5. The green LED charge indicator will turn on.
6. The charging process takes up to 25 minutes. When the green LED charge indicator turns off, the charging cycle is
complete. Move the power switch on the TRANSMITTER/CHARGER to OFF(middle position).
7. Remove the charger cable from the plane.
TIP: Always hold the plug when disconnecting. NEVER pull on the wire to disconnect; this may cause the wire to break.
9. If the plane is getting out of control range (too high) , release the throttle and let the plane glide down to a lower height and then try
applying the throttle again.
10. LANDING: To land the plane, first lower the plane speed to begin a descent. After landing, switch the Power Pack™ system to the
OFF position.
11. After each landing, make sure the wings and propellers are in the proper positions. Some hard landings will shift the
wings/propellers.
1. Hold the PLANE just underneath the wings in one hand. Holding the controller in the other hand, move the LEFT control lever
(throttle) into low speed position. Propellers will begin to spin.
2. Gently toss the plane in a straight, horizontal direction. ALWAYS keep the plane in a horizontal position during the first few seconds
of flight.
3. If the plane turns to the left, push directional control lever to the RIGHT. If the plane turns to the right, push directional control lever
to the LEFT.
4. To turn right, push directional control lever to the RIGHT. To turn left, push directional control lever to the LEFT.
5. Moving the control stick to the high setting will cause the plane to gain altitude. Too much altitude may cause a stall. If this happens,
lower the control stick until the plane is flying or gliding level again.
8. Correcting windshear: When the plane is flying straight and there is a sudden wind, its course will be disturbed. Move the control
stick to the opposite direction in order to put the plane back on course. For example, if the wind pushes the plane towards the left,
move the control stick to the RIGHT. If the wind pushes the plane towards the right, move the control stick to the LEFT.
6. Circling: If the control stick is set to the RIGHT or LEFT, the plane will turn in that direction. The plane will start circling and start
losing altitude unless the control stick is occasionally released to the CENTER. For example, when making a rightward circular flight,
try setting the control stick to the RIGHT and to the CENTER repeatedly.
7. Ending circular flight: Release the RIGHT control stick back to the CENTER. Pushing the RIGHT control stick in the opposite direction
of the way you're circling will return the plane to a straight flight.

INSTRUCTIONS
You'll need to put in some flight time to become an ace pilot. Practice these steps to sharpen your skills.
TIP: When launching the plane, you may want to ask a friend to launch the plane while you operate the controls.
TIP: For the first few flights, you may want to keep the control stick at medium power for the entire flight; this will make it easier to
learn the controls and get a feel for the way plane operates. With practice, you can begin to vary the control stick power for
longer flights. During flight, you can vary your speed by pressing the control stick up or down. Expert pilots can throttle back to
take advantage of air currents, conserving battery power. Reduce engine power to decelerate or descend; increase engine power
to climb. A charged battery should give you several minutes of flying time. Depending on conditions and flying style, your own
flying time may range up to 10 minutes.… maybe even longer, if you can catch and ride the air currents.
TIP: Time your first few flights to get an idea of the kind of flight time you can expect. As you near the end of the flight, steer the
plane back toward you. That will make it easier to retrieve the plane after landing.
TIP: If the plane touches down with the propellers still spinning, quickly turn off the engines by releasing the control stick. After
landing, switch the plane to the OFF position.
NOTE: Test fly the plane by gliding without power. Only fly
in no wind/still conditions. This test glide should be made
before any flying session.
Make sure the antenna is straight and dangling below.
Charge the plane as shown previously.
Turn the plane ON.
Turn the transmitter ON.
1. Give yourself plenty of flying room. For best results, you should have at least 75 feet / 25 m of open space in
all directions. Try to find a grassy open area as pavement will damage the product.
2. Avoid tall buildings, trees, and power lines as they may
obstruct your flight path, and they may create air currents
that make it difficult to operate your plane.
3. DO NOT fly in the street!
