by impulsively attempting a maneuver and suddenly fi nding that
you’ve run out of time, altitude or airspeed. Every maneuver should
be deliberate, not impulsive. For example, if you’re going to do
a loop, check your altitude, mind the wind direction (anticipating
rudder corrections that will be required to maintain heading),
remember to throttle back at the top, and make certain you are
on the desired rates (high/low rates). A fl ight plan greatly reduces
the chances of crashing your model just because of poor planning
and impulsive moves. Remember to think.
OPTIONAL 14.8V POWER SYSTEM
The modelers who are looking for hotter performance from their
Corsair can upgrade the battery to a 14.8V 2100mAh pack while
keeping the stock ESC and propeller. This will provide faster
airspeed and virtually unlimited vertical climb with only slightly
reduced fl ight time. The part number for the recommended
battery is:
❍
FlightPower LiPo EONX Lite 4S 14.8V 2100mAh 25C
(FPWP4197)
In addition to the battery, you will also need a SuperTigre to
Deans
® Ultra Plug ® adapter:

SuperTigre Adapter Deans Ultra Male to SuperTigre
ESC (SUPM0040)
Although the optional FlightPower battery has a greater voltage
than the standard Flyzone 3S battery, the capacity is the same.
Because the increased voltage draws more current than the 3S
setup, the fl ight time will be reduced. We recommend setting your
fl ight timer for a conservative 3.5 minutes. This will allow time
to throttle back and circle around for land ing. This time can be
adjusted depending on your fl ying style. It’s also a great idea to use
a LiPo battery voltmeter (GPMM3205) to check the battery before
each fl ight (to make sure you haven’t inadvertently grabbed a
discharged battery) and to check the battery after each fl ight
to make sure you haven’t overdischarged your battery by fl ying
too long. A safe, conservative, minimum voltage is 3.65V- 3.7V
per cell right after a fl ight. Based on the post-fl ight voltage, adjust
your fl ight timer accordingly. The ESC has a built-in low voltage
cutoff of 3.2V per cell which will initiate a soft shutdown of power
to the motor when the cell voltages reach this level. Be sure to
allow enough time between fl ights for the motor to cool down
.
Have a ball! But always stay in control
and fl y in a safe manner.
GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!

Transmitter Batteries
Four “AA” batteries are required to power the Tx (not included).
Non-rechargeable 1.5V alkaline, or 1.2V rechargeable nickel-
cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) cells, can be
used. Do not mix cell types, or old and new cells, etc.
To install the batteries, slide the battery door down. Insert the
cells as shown in the diagram, making sure to note proper
polarity for each cell. Close the battery door.
POWER SWITCH, LED, and LOW BATTERY ALARM
The red power LED should light when the power switch is
moved upwards to the “ON” position. The Tx should have
adequate power for fl ight when the LED is on constantly.
Anytime the LED begins to fl ash, accompanied by the
sounding of an audible tone, the Tx battery voltage has
dropped too low and operation of the model should NOT
be attempted!
WARNING! Never operate an R/C model
with weak Tx batteries! Reduced operational
range and/or possible loss of control of the
