Flight attention

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

Taking off:Taking off:Taking off: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:Flight:Flight: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:Landing:Landing: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.
