Flyzone HCAA1960 - Manual (Page 9)

❏ 5. Switch on the transmitter and check the LED on
the front of the transmitter. If both LEDs are
illuminated, it is safe to fly. If the red LED is flashing,
you need to install fresh batteries.
❏ 1. Be sure your transmitter has fresh “AA” batteries
installed (not included). Turn on the transmitter and
center the trims. If necessary, adjust the control
surfaces with the adjustment knobs to center them or
use the trim levers on the radio.
❏ 2. Lift the canopy and connect the battery to the
receiver/ESC.
❏ 3. Check the operation of all control surfaces.
When the control stick is moved down, the elevons
will move up together. When the control stick is
moved up, the elevons will move down together.
When the control stick is moved right, the left elevon
will move up and the right elevon will move down.
When the control stick is moved left, the left elevon
will move down and the right elevon will move up.
The reversing switches at the bottom of the
transmitter "reverse" the direction that the control
stick moves the elevon. If the control stick operates
differently than desired, flip the reversing switch and
check the control direction again.
The Red Hawk has a red arming button on the left
side of the fuselage. The throttle will not operate until
this button is pushed. Do not push the arming button
until you are ready to fly, or when the airplane is in
a safe location and secured to check the operation
of the throttle lever! After the arming button has
been pushed, the Red Hawk will be “armed” until
the battery pack is unplugged from the airplane.
The Red Hawk should be flown only when the wind
speed is 5 mph or less. If the wind is calm or very light,
the Red Hawk will be docile and easy to control. Also,
find an area clear of trees, power lines and other
structures. A flying field for R/C planes is best. Don’t fly
around groups of people, especially children or within
6-miles of existing R/C flying fields.
❏ 1. Find an open area free of buildings, trees, power
lines and people.
❏ 2. For your first few flights, fly only when the wind is
calm. After you are comfortable with the airplane, you
can fly in winds that are no more than 5 miles per hour.
If flown in stronger winds, the plane may be blown
downwind and not have enough power to get back.
❏ 3. Make sure the battery pack is fully charged and
that the transmitter has fresh “AA” batteries installed.
❏ 4. If others are flying in the same area, make sure
that they are not using the same channel radio system
you are. The front of your transmitter has a tag with a
number on it (i.e. 1 through 6 and 26.995 through
27.255). This is the channel number and frequency
you are using. If someone is on the same channel or
frequency, DO NOT switch on your transmitter until
they are finished flying.
