Please read before operating this system!

W e would like thank you for purchasing our new product – F-16D/I, designed for the hobby enthusiast. Base on its full - scale counterpart, this American Jet can finish loops, inverted flight and rolls and other aerobatics easily. It is also made as a highly maneuverable model for the intermediate to expert pilot. With the F-16D/I model which includes EDF set*, speed controller, electric servo, flaperon, retractable landing gear with front steering and full scale functional gear doors system (optional requirement). You will have joyful time in model flying.

Remarks:* We have metal EDF set for your selection.

1) EDF68-1A is a higher grade EDF set which is an aluminum alloy

material EDF more powerful output, efficient and durability.

2) Please be noticed that all servo have been pre-set the center point before out of factory. It maybe appeared some difference due to difference band mark radio control. Kindly make sure to do the adjustment (special to pre-set the travel of gear servo up to 130 %. If you select gear doors system with special modified travel throw servos. You are needed to pre-set the travel of gear servo up to 110-120%) with your own radio equipment before installation this jet model.

4) From main wing edge to center 110-115mm is the CG point.

5) Please make sure to use a little piece of attached magic sticker for your LiPo battery for fixing on the battery bay before on flight.

07

Using the provided strong foam double tape to fix the EDF set on the EDF bay (recommend to add some hot glue on the gap for strengthen purpose) and fix the ESC in front of EDF by a small piece PVC sheet cover with two screws.

08

Install the horizontal stabilizer with the mechanical set

09

Link up the horizontal stabilizer into the main fuselage (the major parts of horizontal stabilizer mechanical set has

been finished by factory)

Flight attention Do not fly at any place where another same-frequency model is being operated.

Taking off: Always take off toward the wind.

When launch RAFALE-M by hands, maximize the power (include the micro-adjuster) and run several

meters, then throw the RAFALE-M horizontally. When launch RAFALE-M on the ground, maximize

the power and let RAFALE-M accelerate in direction of the wind and keep it running straightly, after

it run more than 60 feet, then pull the elevator joy stick, and it will take off.

Flight: To keep RAFALE-M flying only need 50% of the maximum power, it is a good idea to fly with power for

a while and glide for a while. In this way you can prolong the maximum flight time and familiarize

yourself with landing approaches.

Landing: Before landing, switch off the power, fly along with the wind, and when RAFALE-M flies near to the

ground, then pull the elevator joystick and RAFALE-M will landing gently. With more practice, then

you could control the model easily.

Phenomenon Problem How to solve Motor does not run ★ Battery is not fully charged.

★ The battery in the transmitter is not at full power.

★ The circuit in Rafale-M has been damaged due to

crash.

★ Charge the battery.

★ Install new dry cells.

★ Contact the distributor.

Can not fly straightly The rudder is not on the center position.★ Adjust the rudder on the center position.★

Adjust the micro★ -adjuster on the

transmitter for the rudder on the suit

position.

Can not climb ★ The battery is not fully charged.

★ The elevator declines downward.

★ Charge the battery.

★ Adjust the micro-adjuster on the

transmitter.

Control distance is very

near

★ The battery of transmitter is not at full power.

★ The antenna of transmitter has not been

completely pulled out

★ Install new dry cells.

★ Completely pull out the antenna of

transmitter.
