in the model, and disconnect the power battery from the ESC in electric
airplanes. Then turn off the power switch in the Tx.

removed from the model and transmitter, re-attach the propeller to the model.

power batteries for electric airplanes are fully charged.

3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum position, then turn on the Tx power

switch. Turn on the power switch in the model or connect the fl ight battery.

4. During the fi rst fl ight, it might be necessary to re-trim the aileron, elevator,

further adjustments are required on the ground, make sure to turn off the
engine or ESC/motor before making such adjustments.

5. When the fl ight is completed, remove power from the system as described
