To prevent damage during shipping, your Micro Fighter is securely fastened in the package. Please insure that all tie downs and fastening locations have been unfastened before attempting to remove the aircraft from its package. Before You Fly 1. Use a Phillips head screw driver (cross head) to loosen screw 3 and remove cover. 2. Insert 6AA batteries in the correct polarity as indicated inside the battery compartment. 3. Place cover back and re-tighten screw. 4. Screw antenna in place. Charging The Micro Fighter 1 1. Make sure the power switch of the Micro Fighter is in the OFF position. NOTE: Always switch OFF the plane after flying! 2. Make sure the controller antenna is collapsed to avoid breaking it while not flying and to prevent accidentally interfering with another RC aircraft on the same frequency. 3. Remove the charge Lead on the transmitter and insert it into the charge port on the Micro Fighter. NOTE: Always insure the lead is in the correct orientation. 4. Turn the transmitter switch to the ON position. 5. Green LED will blink indicating plane is now being charged. 2 6. Charge the Micro fighter fully which typically takes about 30min. 7. Green LED will steady, indicating that the plane is fully charged. 5 8. Remove Lead and place back inside storage compartment. 1 9. Turn transmitter OFF, and your Micro Fighter is ready to fly! NOTE: If you forget to turn off the transmitter and not moving the 3 control sticks, after 3 minutes the Red LED will start blinking to remind you to turn it off!

NOTE: In the event that your MicroFighter sustains damage during impact, the problem may be easily remedied by simply applying clear household tape to the damaged area. Select the Control Mode With Your Perference Micro Fighter is equipped an advanced system that can provide different control preference for both beginner and experienced users! EASY MODE – for beginner users The CAC will automatically smooth the flight and turn by providing a SteadyFly feature to eliminate the normal nervous "stick jitters" when you flying the plane. The throttling power of the plane will be automatically reduce while holding a turn action for more than 2 seconds. The transmitter will be entering the “Easy Mode” by default when power on. Further, to properly fly this highly maneuverable aircraft you must learn to control turns with BOTH sticks at the same time. After you have gained experience on the control methods, you can skip this feature by using the unrestricted “Pro Mode”. PRO MODE – for experienced users You can take full control with your own control technique. To enter “Pro Mode”, Hold the RIGHT sticks hard over to the right then turn on the controller. The Red LED will blink three times to indicating the Pro Mode had activated. Pre-Flight • Always fly your aircraft in a large grassy area free of trees and other obstructions. This will help protect your Micro Fighter during impact. • The Micro Fighter was designed for very stable outdoor flying with wind conditions not to exceed 7 KPH / 4mph. If you can feel the wind, DO NOT FLY! • Make first flights with the landing gear on to help stabilize the flight and simplify the control of this sensitive and maneuverable aircraft. After you have gained experience you can try flying with the Landing gear removed! • Your Micro Fighter can be flown with or without Landing gear. In addition it is enabling realistic takeoffs and landings from smooth surfaces, the landing gear has the additional function of slightly degrading the performance of this sensitive aircraft and also making it more stable and easier to control smoothly, especially for beginners. It is strongly recommended that you make all first flights WITH the Landing gear on AND to use a normal hand-launch over grass. Notes: ONLY after you have gained experience should you consider a ground takeoff. • After you have advanced to the Pro Mode you can remove the stabilizing Landing gear to do wild maneuvers just like a full-size jet fighter! • For Perfect Indoor fights, we recommend the use of 2 pieces Control Reversal When the plane is coming towards you it appears to turn in the "wrong" direction. But if you imagine yourself in the pilots seat, the model is in fact turning correctly. Try turning your back to the aircraft and looking over you. Advanced Flight Tehniques Micro Fighter is designed to make sharper and tighter turns as you reduce the throttle power! Maximum turning will be during gliding. Control is thus less sensitive during full throttle. Sharp Turns can be performed by quickly reducing throttle power to pitch the nose up and to increase control sensitivity. Then while holding the right stick for a turn, you can precisely control the amount or radius of the turn with the “LEFT” (throttle) stick: pushing forward on the left stick widens the turn; pulling back the “LEFT” stick for tightens the turn. The left stick functions as an ELEVATOR control in this case! Once the inside wing begins to bank a little move right stick back to center. The Micro Fighter will maintain the turn by itself; push right stick in the opposite direction to straighten out. NOTE: Your Micro Fighter is designed to self-stabilize automatically when power is reduced. In an "emergency" situation in which the plane is out of control, quickly pulling the left throttle stick ALL the way back to stop the motors will let the plane save itself and not crash! To land your Micro Fighter direct it INTO any slight wind and decrease throttle for slow and steady descent. For perfect landings on smooth surfaces with the landing gear however, land WITH the wind in the same direction it is blowing for a gentle touchdown on a gentle touchdown. To let your MicroFighter take off from any smooth surface allowing about 17 m / 50 ft takeoff run and even more clear space for climb out, point it INTO any slight wind and give full power while making careful steering corrections. Practice with your Micro Fighter until you are confident and skilled enough to cancel the restricting feature of Easy Mode and use the Pro Mode. of thin mylar tape (provided) on the tail section of the rear wings. Flying your Micro Fighter 1. Switch the Micro Fighter to the “ON” position. Tape 2 3 2. Turn transmitter switch to “ON” position. The steady red LED will light. 3. Fully extend the antenna. 4. Move throttle control (left control stick) fully forward and back to activate the transmitter. 5. Make sure trim knob is centered with arrow pointing up. 6. Push throttle control forward to half (middle) before launch for FIRST flights 7. Hold the nose of the Micro Fighter with two 1 5 6 4 fingers to launch. 8. Launch the Micro Fighter as straight and level as possible; always launch gently INTO the wind. 9. Add throttle gently while adjusting the steering trim knob on the transmitter. 10. Adjust trim Left when the Micro Fighter turns Right. 11. Adjust trim Right when the Micro Fighter turns Left. 12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 several times to make sure your Micro Fighter travels in a straight line. 7 8 WING CORRECTION IF PLANE TURNS TO THE LEFT IMPORTANT! It is important that the Micro Fighter be calibrated to fly straight (with the steering stick centered) before continuing! If the Micro Fighter still continues to turn uncontrollably, a slight manual adjustment of the wings may be required. To do this, GENTLY twist the rear horizontal tails (and wings if necessary) as shown.
