Although the DC-3/C-47 is designed to be easy to fly, it is
not for the first-time pilot. We strongly recommend getting
assistance from 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 Model 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. www.modelaircraft.org

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Your DC-3/C-47 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 DC-3/C-47, 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 the warranty.
2. Tes t 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 very calm days (with wind
speeds less than 5mph) and in large open areas free of
trees, people, buildings, or any other obstacles.
WARNING! A spinning propeller has the potential to cause
serious and permanent injury to yourself and others.
WARNING! Keep hands clear of the propeller when handling
the aircraft. Make sure the aircraft is held securely until the
battery has been disconnected.
Check the parts against those shown. If any parts are
damaged or missing, please contact www.flyzone.com/

LITHIUM BATTERY WARNING!
This product uses a lithium polymer (LiPo)
battery. Improper handling could result in FIRE!
A lithium battery re has the potential to ignite
surrounding areas and may cause property damage or
cause personal injury.
For safe LiPo handling, follow all of these guidelines:
MOST IMPORTANT! Never leave the battery or charger
unattended during charging or discharging.
WARNING: Read the entire instruction manual before
charging your motor battery. Failure to follow the instructions
could cause permanent damage to the battery and its
surroundings and cause bodily harm!
ALWAYS follow the charging ins tructions in this manual when
charging your LiPo batteries. LiPo batteries can cause serious
damage or re if misused.
ALWAYS use a LiPo-approved charger if not using the built-in
charger in the Tactic TTX403 transmitter.
ALWAYS set the charger’s output volts to match the battery
volts if not using the built-in charger in the Tactic TTX403
transmitter.
ALWAYS charge a LiPo battery in a reproof location away
from combustible materials.
A LWAYS store and transport LiPo batteries in a reproof
container away from combustible materials.
ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF THE REACH OF CHILDREN.
ALWAYS keep LiPo batteries out of the reach of animals. A
punctured battery may cause a re.
ALWAYS disconnect the battery after the charge is complete.
ALWAYS keep a supply of sand accessible when charging
a LiPo battery. Dumping sand on the battery will assist in
extinguishing a LiPo chemical re.
ALWAYS remove the battery from the plane after a crash. Set
it aside in a safe location for at least 20 minutes. If the battery
is damaged in the crash, it could catch re. If the battery
starts to swell, quickly move the battery to a safe location,
preferably outside away from combustible material. Place it
in a bucket, covering the battery with sand. Never use water
to try and put out a LiPo re.
NEVER charge or use a battery that is deformed, bent, crushed,
swollen, or has any type of visible damage.
NEVER use a NiCd/NiMH charger to charge a LiPo battery.
NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.
NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C unless the bat tery
is rated for a higher charge rate.
NEVER trickle-charge a LiPo battery.
NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed 140 degrees
F (60 degrees C).
NEVER disassemble or modify the pack wiring in any way or
puncture the cells, as this may result in a re.
NEVER discharge below 2.7V per cell.
NEVER charge the battery or set the charger on combustible
materials.
NEVER charge the battery inside a vehicle or in a location
that could be damaged in the event of a LiPo re.
NEVER put a LiPo battery in the pocket of any clothing.
NEVER charge the batteries in the plane. Disconnect the
batteries and remove them from the plane immediately after
landing.
NEVER allow the battery to short circuit by touching exposed
wires together. This may cause a re.
NEVER operate or store batteries below 40˚F or above 110˚F
(4-43˚C)
