(upwind of pilot) Stand here Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to y your aircraft. Fly your aircraft outside in no greater than light winds. For indoor ight, y the aircraft inside in a large gymnasium Keep your aircraft in plain sight and up wind. Do not exceed the 300 foot (91 m) radio range. If the connection is lost, the motors will power off and the aircraft will descend. Leave your transmitter powered on and move closer to your aircraft to regain control. Always avoid ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. Always avoid ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer elds. Pre ight Checklist

Find a safe and open area. 1. 2. Charge ight battery. 3. 4. Install ight battery in aircraft. Perform Control Direction Test. 5. Plan ight for ying eld conditions. 6. Set a ight timer for 5 minutes. 7. Have fun!

3 RTF EN Transmitter Low Battery Alarm When the battery voltage drops too low, an alarm sounds and the LED ashes. The batteries must be replaced immediately. If this happens while ying, land your aircraft as soon and as safely as possible. Power LED Throttle Power Switch Down Trim Steering Up / Down Left / Right Up Trim Battery Door Aircraft Battery Charging Port and LED Right Trim Left Trim Transmitter Batteries Installation Remove the battery cover, install the four included batteries (noting proper polarity) and reinstall the battery cover. 4 EN Charging Warnings The Duet transmitter has been designed to safely charge the included Li-Po battery. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a re, personal injury and/or property damage. By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries. If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in re. Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results. Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 40120 F. Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch re. Always inspect the battery before charging. Never charge damaged batteries. ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage. Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load. Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips. Never leave charging batteries unattended. Charging the Flight Battery Always charge the aircraft battery before ying. CAUTION: Do not store the Li-Po battery in the charger. Doing so could over-discharge the Li-Po battery. If the ight battery charging takes longer than 45 minutes AND the charge LED remains solid, replace the transmitter batteries. 45 MIN. CHARGING (Solid Red) ......................... READY (Blinking 20 sec. intervals) ......... MAX CHARGE (off) ........................... 5 RTF EN Installing the Flight Battery Keep the aircraft and transmitter away from large metal objects, wireless sources or other transmitters while installing the battery. CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po ight battery from the aircraft receiver when not ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential re when batteries are charged. 1. 2. CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propellers. Virtual Instructor stabilization will turn propellers in response to any aircraft movement. 3. 5 Sec. Keep immobile and out of the wind for 5 seconds. For best ight performance, install the battery as shown. 4. Control Direction Test 1. Face the aircraft away from you. 2. Restrain the aircraft so it does not escape your control while you are testing your transmitter controls. 3. Move the sticks on the transmitter to ensure the aircraft responds as shown. Refer to the Binding instructions and Troubleshooting Guide in this manual for more information. If you need more assistance, contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department.

7 RTF EN Flying Set a ight timer for 5 minutes Always make deliberate and steady control stick movements for smooth control of your aircraft. If you feel you are losing control, release the right (steering) stick to allow the aircraft to slowly return to level ight. When you notice that the aircraft no longer climbs while under full power or the motors begin to pulse, immediately land the aircraft and recharge the battery. Adjusting Trim in Flight Familiarize yourself with your transmitters controls and the aircrafts response before ying by performing the recommended Control Direction Test. Press the trim buttons on your transmitter to adjust how the aircraft ies. If the aircrafts nose drifts while the steering stick is at neutral (centered) and the throttle is at 50%, press the trim buttons:

Upper button to stop up drift Lower button to stop down drift Left button to stop right drift Right button to stop left drift If you press a trim button until no beep sounds and the aircraft does not y straight and level, land and manually adjust the trim as described below. Throttle stick Direction of Drift Button to Correct Manually Adjusting Trim Press the trim buttons to return to center (3 beeps will sound), then use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal connector (A):

Narrow if the aircrafts nose drifts up. Widen if the aircrafts nose drifts down. Short test ights and small bends may be needed. A 8 EN Wind 05 mph

(08 km/h) Landing Fly to your runway, keeping the aircraft pointed into the wind and the wings level. Bring the aircraft down by lowering the throttle to 25%. Near the ground, fully lower the throttle and pull back on the steering stick. CAUTION: Never catch a ying aircraft in your hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage to the aircraft. 1. 2. 3. 4. After Flying 1. Lower the throttle stick completely and do not move the steering stick. Wait at least 5 seconds. 2. Disconnect and remove the battery from the aircraft. Keep hands away from the propellers. 3. Power off the transmitter. 4. Fully charge the aircraft battery. 5. Remove the battery after charging is complete. NOTICE: When you are nished ying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam. NOTICE: Always disconnect the battery from the aircraft before powering off the transmitter or injury and damage may result. 9 RTF Possible Cause Solution Follow Binding Instructions.

EN Propeller Service CAUTION: DO NOT handle propeller parts while the ight battery is connected. Personal injury could result 1. Remove the spinner (A) by carefully pulling it away from the propeller (B). Remove residue from the spinner and propeller if applicable. 2. Remove the propeller from the motor shaft, noting the L or R indicator. Use a pair of needle nose pliers or hemostats to hold the motor shaft (C) in place, then carefully pull the propeller from the motor shaft. 3. Install a new propeller with the size numbers facing out from the motor. 4.75 x 2.5 R (Right) 4.75 x 2.5 L (Left) 4. Reinstall the spinner using foam safe CA (Cyanoacrylate adhesive). A list of available replacement parts is in the back of the manual. Visit the web site www.????????????.com for more information about maintaining your aircraft. Binding If your aircraft does not respond to the transmitter when the batteries in the aircraft and transmitter are fully charged, bind your aircraft and transmitter by using the instructions below. 1. Disconnect the ight battery from the aircraft. 2. Power off the transmitter. 3. Connect the ight battery to the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ash (typically after 5 seconds) 4. Hold the transmitter more than 24 inches

(60 cm) away from the aircraft. Keep away from large metal objects, wireless sources and other transmitters. Make sure your transmitters controls are neutral, the throttle is in the low position, and the aircraft is immobile. 5. Push the right control stick into the case until it clicks, as you power on the transmitter. 6. The transmitter will beep twice and the LED will ash. Release the stick after 2 seconds. 7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will begin ashing slowly and the transmitter will stop beeping, indicating the receiver is bound to the transmitter.
