3. Remove the charge Lead on the transmitter and insert it into the charge port on the Micro Fighter.
NOTE: Always insure the lead is in the correct orientation.
4. Turn the transmitter switch to the ON position.
5. Green LED will blink indicating plane is now being charged.

Select the Control Mode With Your Perference
Micro Fighter is equipped an advanced system that can provide different control preference
for both beginner and experienced users!
EASY MODE – for beginner users
The CAC will automatically smooth the flight and turn by providing a SteadyFly feature to
eliminate the normal nervous "stick jitters" when you flying the plane.
The throttling power of the plane will be automatically reduce while holding a turn action for
more than 2 seconds.
The transmitter will be
Further, to properly fly this highly maneuverable aircraft you must learn to control turns with
BOTH sticks at the same time. After you have gained experience on the control methods,
you can skip this feature by using the unrestricted “Pro Mode”.
PRO MODE – for experienced users
You can take full control with your own control technique.
To enter “Pro Mode”, Hold the RIGHT stic ks hard over to the right then turn on the controller.
The Red LED will blink three times to indicating the Pro Mode had activated.
entering the “Easy Mode” by default when power on.
Pre-Flight
• Always fly your aircraft in a large grassy area free of trees and oth er obstructions. This will help
protect your Micro Fighter during impact.
• The Micro Fighter was designed for very stable outdoor flying with wind conditions not to exceed
7 KPH / 4mph. If you can feel the
• Make first flights with the landing gear on to help stabilize the flight and simplify the control
of this sensitive and maneuverable aircraft. After you have gained experience you can try
flying with the Landing gear removed!
• Your Micro Fighter can be flown with
takeoffs and landings from smooth surfaces, the landing gear has the additional function of
slightly degrading the performance of this sensitive aircraft and also making it more stable and
easier to control smoothly, especially for beginners. It is strongly recommended that
all first flights WITH the Landing gear on AND to use a normal hand-launch over grass.
Notes: ONLY after you have gained experience should you consider a ground takeoff.
• After you have advanced to the Pro Mode you can remove the
stabilizing Landing gear to do wild
full-size jet fighter!
• For Perfect Indoor fights, we recommend the use of 2 pieces
of thin mylar tape (provided) on the tail section of the rear wings.
Flying your Micro Fighter
1. Switch the Micro Fighter to the “ON” position.
2. Turn transmitter switch to “ON” position.
The steady red LED will light.
3. Fully extend the antenna.
4. Move throttle control (left control stick)
fully forward and back to activate the
transmitter.
5. Make sure trim knob is centered with
arrow pointing up.
6. Push throttle control forward to half
(middle) before launch for FIRST flights
7. Hold the nose of the Micro Fighter with two
8. Launch the Micro Fighter as straight and level
as possible; always launch gently INTO the wind.
9. Add throttle gently while adjusting the steering
trim knob on the transmitter.
10. Adjust trim Left when the Micro Fighter turns Right.
11. Adjust trim Right when the Micro
12. Repeat steps 10 and 11 several times to make sure
your Micro Fighter travels in a straight line.
IMPORTANT!
It is important that the Micro Fighter be calibrated to
fly straight (with the steering stick centered) before
continuing! If the Micro Fighter still continues to turn
uncontrollably, a slight manual adjustment of the wings
may be required. To do this, GENTLY twist the rear

Control Reversal
When the plane is coming towards you it appears to turn in the "wrong"
direction. But if you imagine yourself in the pilots seat, the model is in fact
turning correctly. Try turning your back to the aircraft and looking over you.
Advanced Flight Tehniques
Micro Fighter is designed to make sharper and tighter turns as you reduce the throttle power!
Maximum turning will be during gliding. Control is thus less sensitive during full throttle.
Sharp Turns can be performed by quickly reducing throttle power to pitch the nose up and to
increase control sensitivity. Then while holding the right stick for a turn, you can precisely control
the amount or radius of the turn with the “LEFT” (throttle) stick: pushing forward on the left stick
widens the turn; pulling back the “LEFT” stick for tightens the turn. The left stick functions as an
ELEVATOR control in this case!
Once the inside wing begins to bank a little move right stick back to center. The Micro Fighter will
maintain the turn by itself; push right stick
NOTE: Your Micro Fighter is designed to self-stabilize automatically when power is reduced.
In an "emergency" situation in which the plane is out of control, quickly pulling the left throttle
stick ALL the way back to stop the motors will let the plane save itself and not crash!
