Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone™
Super Decathlon. Your Super Decathlon has come
with everything to get you in the air – all in one box!
You will only need to attach the wing and landing
gear, as well as charge the battery prior to flight.
We at ParkZone™ are committed to giving you the
most enjoyable flight experience you can have.
In order to have a safe and successful flight, we
ask that you do not fly until you have read these
instructions thoroughly.
Your Super Decathlon comes with a fully proportional
3 channel FM radio system with full control of
throttle, steering, and pitch. If you have not
successfully flown one of HobbyZone’s Zone 1 or
2 aircraft, or any other radio controlled aircraft,
we recommend that you seek the help of an
experienced radio control pilot during your
beginning flights. Crash damage is not covered
under the warranty!
Your Super Decathlon comes with 2 modes that
are selectable on the transmitter. Mode A limits the
travel of the control surfaces for your first several
flights. Mode B no longer limits the control so
you can perform more aerobatic maneuvers such
as loops. Your receiver also allows you to add or
remove jumper to better customize your flight, or
re-use this radio equipment in another aircraft if
you so choose.
Charging the Aircraft Battery
This charger uses unique peak detection circuitry
that ensures an accurate charge every time and protects
your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries from the dangers of over-
charging. This charger continually monitors the battery’s
charge curve and automatically stops charging when the peak
charge is detected. The peak detection charger will help avoid
damaging Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.
Important: The battery should be charged shortly before flying.
If you charge the battery 12 to 24 hours prior to flying, you will
need to “re-peak” the battery before you fly.
