will motor mounting screws and bolts loosen, possibly with

disastrous effect, but vibration may also damage your radio
receiver and radio gear.

We use a Top Flite

®

Precision Magnetic Prop Balancer

(TOPQ5700) in the workshop and keep a Great Planes

Fingertip Prop Balancer (GPMQ5000) in our fl ight box.

When you reinstall the propeller, make sure that the curved

face of the prop faces the front of the airplane. This is also
the side of the propeller that has number markings near
the hub.

From time to time, check the motor to make sure that vibration
has not loosened it on the mount. Tighten the motor mount
set screw if it has loosened.

MOTOR SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

Failure to follow these safety precautions may result
in severe injury to yourself and others.

Get help from an experienced pilot when learning to operate
electric motors.

Use safety glasses when operating electric motors.

Do not operate the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand;
the propeller may throw such material in your face or eyes.

Keep your face and body, as well as all spectators, away
from the plane of rotation of the propeller as you operate
the motor.

Keep these items away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt
sleeves, sweat shirt strings, ties, scarves, long hair or loose
objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of
shirt or jacket pockets into the prop.

The motor will arm when the throttle is at idle and the battery

is plugged in. There is no further arming sequence for this
model. Use extreme caution when working around an armed
power system.

LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING

AND USAGE

WARNING!! Read the entire instruction sheet included with

the battery. Failure to follow all instructions could cause
permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings, and
cause bodily harm!

ONLY use a LiPo approved charger.

NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.

ONLY charge through the “charge” lead using a

cell balancing charger. NEVER charge through the

“discharge” lead only.

NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.

ALWAYS set charger’s output volts to match battery

volts.

ALWAYS charge in a fi reproof location.

NEVER trickle charge.

NEVER allow battery temperature to exceed 150° F

(65° C).

NEVER disassemble or modify pack wiring in any

way or puncture cells.

NEVER discharge below 3.0V per cell.

NEVER place on combustible materials or leave

unattended during charge or discharge.

ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

Always use a balance charger designed to charge

LiPo batteries for charging the LiPo fl ight battery.

Never leave the LiPo battery unattended while

charging. If the battery becomes hot, discontinue
charging.

RADIO SYSTEM INSTRUCTIONS

POWER SWITCH, LED,

& 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
aircraft could result. Replace weak alkaline
batteries, or re-charge NiCd or NiMH batteries
before attempting a fl ight!
