PRECAUTIONS

LiPo Battery Recycling

Your INUM should not be considered a toy, but rather a

sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a
full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the

INUM, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly

cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.

1. Operate the plane according to the instructions. DO NOT
alter or modify the model. If you make any modifications,
you void your warranty.

2. Test the operation of the model before each flight to
ensure that all equipment is operating properly and that
the model remains structurally sound.

3. Fly only indoors, or outdoors on no wind days and in large
open areas free of trees, people, buildings, or any other
obstacles.

4. Although the INUM is designed to be successfully flown by
the first time pilot, you may still benefit from the assistance
of an experienced pilot for your first flights. If you’re not
a member of an R/C club, your local hobby shop has
information about clubs in your area whose membership
includes experienced pilots. You can also contact the
National Academy of Aeronautics (AMA) which has over
2,500 chartered clubs across the country. Instructor training
programs and insured newcomer training are available
through any of these clubs. Contact the AMA at the following
address or toll-free phone number:

The R/C model hobby becomes more and more enjoyable as your

experience grows. Your chances for success and graduation to
higher levels are very good if you take your time and follow the
flying instructions carefully and completely. We hope you enjoy
flying your

INUM

.

Charge Socket

3.7V 35mAh LiPo Battery

1. Open the charger terminal hatch by carefully pushing the
small tab to the left.

2. Connect the 3.7V 35 mAh LiPo battery to the charge socket.

3. The red charge lamp lights up and quick charge commences.
(Fully discharged battery takes about 30 minutes to charge.
Charging time can vary).

4. When red charge lamp goes off, charging is complete.

● When the AA transmitter cells are getting low in voltage,

the battery will not be charged. Change to new AA cells
before charging or fl ying.

● The battery can be charged whether the transmitter power

is switched ON or OFF.

Turning the Power On

Open the

Install 4 "AA" size
Alkaline batteries
following the polarity
markings.

Close the

● Use only the battery charger in the transmitter.

● Do not attempt to charge a damaged battery. This may

cause fi re or serious damage.

● For safety reasons, batteries with a high voltage cannot

be recharged. Run down the battery completely and
then recharge.

1. Move the throttle stick all the way down.

2. Switch the power ON

3. The green lamp lights up and you will hear 1 beep. If
you hear 2 beeps, replace the AA batteries.

● Unless the throttle stick is not moved all the way to the

bottom, the motor will not operate.

Linking with the Airplane

● Linking is already completed by factory setting.

● If the model does not respond with the transmitter on and

the battery plugged in, you may need to link the airplane
to the transmitter.

● A “humming” sound is normal when the battery is plugged

into the plane and does not mean the model is not
working properly.

CHOOSING YOUR FLYING FIELD

● The size of the hall etc. should be as shown in the diagram.

(Be sure to obtain appropriate permission.) The INUM can
be fl own in smaller areas with some experience.

Control may be lost if the airplane is more than

160 feet [50 meters] from the transmitter. Fly the

airplane within a 160 foot range.

PRE-FLIGHT CHECK

1. Check for any bends or damaged parts on the wing, fuselage
or tail.

2. Be sure the propellers are properly attached!

TAKEOFF

Check to see if the plane responds properly to control signals.

3. Switch the transmitter ON and connect the battery, and
advise any people nearby. Make sure there is no one near
the propeller.

4. In case the motor starts rotating accidentally, have an
assistant hold the rear part of the plane securely.

5. Check to see if the plane responds properly to control signals.

6 feet [2m]

Apply full throttle while facing into the wind, hold the plane

horizontally and launch with a gentle pushing motion.

After launching, use the rudder to stop the plane from banking

left or right. Climb 10– 20º at about half throttle. After reaching
an altitude of about 6 feet [2m], begin circling the plane. (If
the battery is not charged properly, the plane will not ascend).

Use the throttle stick to adjust the climb and altitude.

Put the throttle stick to the lowest position when crashing to

avoid damage.

ADJUSTING TRIMS

About 30 feet

6. Test the range of the radio signal. Step back about 30 feet
and check for any unusual behavior.

Adjusting the trim for straight fl ight. Each trim position is

indicated with a beep sound. A “humming” sound from the
airplane is normal.

5

Take your fi nger off of the rudder stick and if the plane fl ies to

the right, adjust the rudder trim to the left.

LANDING

When the battery runs low, the auto-cut mechanism will stop

the propeller from spinning, so aim for fl ight times of about

7– 8 minutes, then land.

Landing

Course

Control any left/right

bank with the rudder.

Adjust the rudder trims so the plane fl ies straight when the

sticks are untouched. When trimming for straight fl ight, a

“humming” noise is normal.

FLIGHT

Continue circling left in an oval pattern until you’re accustomed

to fl ying.

Move rudder stick

halfway to left.

Lower the throttle stick.

Try to keep the

plane horizontal,

wings level with the

landing surface.

Use the Throttle Stick to

reduce speed and altitude.

AFTER LANDING

1. Disconnect the battery.

Hold the connector when disconnecting the battery. Do not
pull the wires.

Turn the rudder to the right and then release the control stick.

Once plane levels off, the circle is complete.

Move the control sticks slowly.

Then, switch the transmitter OFF.

6

AFTER-FLIGHT MAINTENANCE

REVERSING FLIGHT CONTROLS

Reversing the control direction of the rudder can be

accomplished by following the steps below.

Press

Remove the batteries from the transmitter when not in use.

1. Press and hold the rudder right side digital trim button down
and turn the transmitter on.

2. Keep holding the digital trim button down for 3 seconds
until tones are heard, confi rming the selection.

3. Connect the battery and complete the fl ight control test,
confi rming that the rudder moves in the correct direction.
