Tips for flying
1) Don’ t fly in bad weather
2) Take off: please take off against the wind. The can only take off by hand-thrown. Push the joyst ick of the power to the maxi mal b efore taking off, then catch the fuselage by hand s on the top of your head and throw it away horizontally.
3) Glid e: You only need to open the power to the maximal so that th e Glider can clim b 10-40 seconds, th en turn off the power slowly, w hich can achieve the best glide perf ormance. The speed controller of the glider have the brake function, so whe n you pull the throttle joystick to the minimal, the motor will stop moving during the glide . This is a norm al phenomenon. If mee t the updraft, the glide time will be longer.
4) Land ing: Turn off the power before landing. It needs enough gliding distance and to be agai nst the wind for landin g. When the airplane is n ear the land, you can adjust the joystick and ma kes it land stably.

1) The glider will have a better perform after fully charged.
2) Beeline flying: Please adjust the inching switch in the transmitter if you find it is a little difficult to fly
straightly. For example, when you find the glider flies to the left by aberrancy, please turn the inching switch to the right in the transmitter.
3) Horizontal flying: Please adjust the inching switch in the transmitter if you find it is a little difficult to fly
horizontally. For example, when you find that the glider flies upwards by aberrancy, please adjust the inching switch to the upper position so that the servo position will be adjusted.

the servo cable
2.Change another servo.
Can no t fly straight
1.The rudder is not in the cent er
position of the airframe
2.The main wing is not fixed in
the center position of the ai rf ra me.
1. Adjust the trim switch on
the transmitter
2.Re-assembly the main wing
Can no t climb
1. The battery is not fully charged.
2. Two aileron are biased downward
1. Charger the battery
2. Adjust the inching switch on the Transmitter.
Valuable experience
1. If you have the simulator, we recommend you to practice with the FMS before you try the .
This will be very helpful for your real flight.
2. Check and make sure all the control surfaces work normally and move towards right direction before
flying.
3. We recommend you make the glider climb up to 100m height and hover with 30% power. This will be
helpful for you to get familiar with the performance.
4. Users should control the airplane genteelly to reduce the risk of crash, and to prolong the working time of
the airplane.
5. The turning radius should not be too short or the airplane will be out of control more easily and this may
cause more crash incidents.
6. This model is not suitable for low level flying at full power or lange-angle dive.
7. It is normal the aileron servo works in low efficiency when the airplane flies with full speed.
8. Please make sure to take off and land against the wind. The beginners had better fly in breeze and up
wing area.
9. Please fly your ASK-2100 in the upper front of your head, but not above your head as this will increase
the difficulty.
10.If you want to fly it for a long time, please buy more batteries from the dealer.

Inspection and adjustment before flying
1. Switch for powe r supply: Install 8 cells dr y batteries in the tr an sm itter ac co rd ing to the symbol o f
battery’s polarity, then turn on t he s witch of p ower. I nstall the full charged battery into the foreside of the fusela ge , and connect t he plug of batt er y with the el ec tronic Speed Controller. To make sure the radio control sys tem working well, you should fol lo w the instructi on : turn on the switch of th e transmitter before flying (con ne ct ing the battery with ESC plug); and tu rn off the power for receiver first when stop operation (pulling ou t ba ttery and ESC plug), then turn off the transmitter.
2. The ri gh t joystick of transmitter controls the a il er on by turning left or right: wh en yo u pus h the
joystick o n the left, the left ai le ro n of plane will turn up and the right ai le ro n of plane will t urn down in response to your a ct io n, vice versa. Befor e flying, put the t ri m of aileron to the middle position, and then adjust the both ailerons to neutra l po sition by the steel wire grip.
3 The sw ay of the rig ht joysti ck in th e transmi tt er cont ro ls the power of motor. When holding the
fuselage of the plane, please keep other objects away from the propeller in case of hurting people or destroy the propeller. I f you p ush the right joystic k in th e lowest position, the power o f the m ot or will cease. Now t he moto r is on standby. You could check the performance of the m otor by pushin g the joystick up slowly. If y ou w an t to cancel standby situation, you coul d ta ke o ff battery plug.
4. The up and down o f t he left joystick of transmitt er co ntrols the movement of the ele va to r. When you
push the joystick down, the elevator of pl an e will be flying up , vice versa. Th e best state before flying is the elevator, joysticks and in ch in g switches are all in the neutral positio n.
5. The right joystick i n tr an sm itter control the rudder: when you push t he joystick on th e ri gh t, the
rudder of pla ne will turn r ig ht in response to your acti on , vice versa. Ru dder, joystick t ri m should be in the middle before flying.
6. If the se rvos and motor g ive no response during the adjust me nt , please check t he connection of the
servos and ESC and make sure the battery is f ul ly charged.
7. Check the CG of the glider in wi ndless c on dition, th e CG is near to the m ai n wing, please refer to the
picture. Note: Th e tr an sm itter and re ceiver s hould be u se d in the same set but not be mixed and used w it h other products.
1. Radio control distance should be tested before the airplane taking off. After loading the battery to the model
and transmitter, turn on the switch and keep the control distance about 200 meters between the transmitter
and the model.
2. Please turn on the transmitter before taking off the model. The indicator should be green. If it doesn’t, please
check if it has been connected well with the battery. If the indicator is red, change the battery.
3. Plug in the power supply, operate the joystick to see whether the movement of the control surface is normal
or not. Push the throttle to the lowest position and push it upwards gradually. The propeller will run very fast,
which causes big thrust and noise. Then the model can fly from the ground after running or you can throw it
off by hand.

4. If the motor runs slowly or the thrust is not powerful, please do not take it off. Check if the battery has been
fully charged, and if there is any problems with the motor or ESC. The power system can be adjusted during
flying to save power and lengthen the flying time, and the recommended method is flying---gliding—flying.
5. If you want to land it after flying for some time, pull the throttle stick to the low position and let it land gently.
6. After landing, plug off the battery power system and then switch off the transmitter, otherwise it will give
wrong instruction to the motor.
7. If the battery voltage of the transmitter is under the safety standard, the indicator will become red. Now
please land it as soon as possible to avoid it being out of control.
8. If the model always towards to right, please adjust the trim on the transmitter to the left until the model could
fly straightly. If the airplane always turn to left, move the inching switch to the right.
9. If the model plane flies nose-down, move the elevator trim to the lower position; If the model moves nose-up
or if there is any undulating flight, adjust the elevator trim upwards until level flight. If the trim has reached the
limits, please adjust the steel wire grip to make the flight back to normal.
