10Then plug into the Purple charger for charging.It is highly recommended to use a fireproof dish or bowl to contain the battery while charging - see photo –this is a safety precaution in case of a fire. Always Charge the battery outside if possible and never leaveunattended. Disconnect the battery if it gets hot.Note – some variations may occur to actual chargers and adaptors used.SAFETY PRECAUTIONS for LiPo Batteries• Never leave Lithium Polymer batteries unattended whilst charging.• Never charge Lithium Polymer batteries inside a model; hot batteries can cause fires.• Never charge Lithium Polymer batteries inside a motor vehicle.• Never charge Lithium Polymer batteries on any surface which can catch fire e.g. wooden benches.• Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.• Do not allow batteries to get wet.• Do not use the batteries with positive and negative terminals reversed.• Do not short circuit the battery.• Do not pierce the battery or subject it to heavy knocks or impacts.• Do not use or store the battery inside motor vehicles during hot weather. Doing so may cause thebattery to overheat, risking fire or explosion.• If your battery balloons in size, is punctured or is malformed, take precautions to get the battery to a non-flammable area for at least one hour. IN CASE OF FIRE. After several hours place the battery in saltwater.GETTING READY TO FLYAlways ensure that the transmitter is switched on, that the antenna is extended fully , that the throttle lever isset at its lowest point ( stick to the bottom on the gimbal ) and the model is being held securely beforeconnecting the battery, this will prevent unexpected start ups which could cause injury.OK, so having done that, the battery can be placed in its compartment under the nose and its red plugconnected to the socket inside. After a pause you will hear some “beeping” telling you that the battery, theelectronic speed control and the motor are all in communication. When the beeping stops, slowly advancingthe throttle will cause the motor to start and continue to speed up until full throttle is reached.Having checked the motor, stop it by bringing the throttle lever back to full low and then, by moving theelevator, aileron and rudder sticks, check that all surfaces move in the correct direction and by the requiredamount. If any of these move in the wrong direction there are reversing switches on the front of thetransmitter to correct the situation, With the trims, (they are the small sliders alongside the sticks), in thecentral position, check that the ailerons, rudder and elevator are properly aligned; if not, make adjustments tothe appropriate clevises. Having the surfaces properly aligned with the trims in the central position willensure that the model on its first flight will be near to being “in trim” and any minor out of trim condition willthen be correctable by use of the trim sliders. You may wish to engage the assistance of a modeller withsome R/C experience to guide you through this all important phase and also to cast his eye over the modelto ensure all is correct.The first task is to range check the radio equipment. Go to an area clear of trees and metal fences, like themiddle of a sports field to ensure clear reception.FIRST FLIGHTSIt will be VERY helpful if you are able to obtain help from an experienced model pilot during your first flights.It is a very good idea to find a model club in your area or at least someone that can fly RC planes. They canhelp with the final setup and flight testing of your plane. Making sure it is an enjoyable experience and not adisaster!Flying a radio controlled model aircraft is difficult, due to the good hand to eye co-ordination required. Goodeyesight is needed to see what the model is doing and a basic knowledge of the theory of flight is useful.Practice – like anything worthwhile is required to master the skills for the hobby.Accidents DO occur and damage WILL be caused to the model when this happens. So if you are notprepared to accept this – do not attempt to fly this model.That is the bad news ! But the development of new and exciting skills and the enjoyment of seeing your ownradio controlled model obeying your every command is well worth it !! |
