Flight Preparation
Make sure that batteries in your transmitter and aircraft are fresh and the antenna is
extended all the way up. This will ensure full range for your aircraft. lf you notice the plane
is going to crash, cut throttle immediately. This will minimize damage.
lf you want to launch by hands, maximize the power(including the micro
Cessna 182
adjustment)and run several meters to accelerate yourself, at last throw it horizontally.
lf you want to launch on the ground, maximize the power and let it accelerate,
Cessna 182
keep it running straightly, after it runs more than 60 feet, you can pull the elevator joy stick,
and it will take off.
4. Course: you need only 30% of the maximum power to keep flying. lt is good
Cessna 182
idea to fly with power for a while and glide for a while .
In this way You can increase your maximum flight time and familiarize yourself with
landing approaches.
5. Landing: Before landing, switch off the power, fly toward the wind, and when
Cessna 182
flies near to the ground, you may pull the elevator joystick and it will land gently. It really
needs practice, although it sounds easy. it may be difficult for yo until you do this many
times.

Vehicle Battery>15AH, 12V(safety charge voltage range from 11V14V).
2. Do not use DC power supply>14V.
Technical Data:
1. Input: DC 11v-14v,1A,output:DC 12.6V,800mA (+-10%).
2. Available to balanced or unbalanced charge 2 or 3 battery blocks.
3. Dimension size:73×50×25mm.
4. The typical value of voltage difference among 3 full-charged battery blocks is lower than
40mV.
5. The cut-off voltage of charger ranges from 4.19V-4.21V.
immediately if the battery is overheating.
Notes:
1. In case of FMS-08001 in use, keep the charger away from inflammable thing. The
electric spark caused by connecting or disconnecting battery is highly dangerous to
