Interactive Toy Concepts B2 Spirit User Manual

Congratulations on the purchase of your Airtech R/C Aircraft. These planes are designed to fly great and be easy to "learn how to fly". But remember, these are aircraft, so you must spend a bit of time reading through this manual so you can learn what to do, and what not to do.
Look for these symbols for extra help!

Don’t forget
Before leaving home to fly the aircraft don’t forget to take with you –
-Remote control unit (with antenna), charger, rechargeable battery, repair kit and Aircraft (5 items altogether).
PRE-FLIGHT
PRE-FLIGHT
ON
-Fresh new Alkaline batteries (not included): 8 ‘AA’ (for remote) and 8 ‘D’ (for charger).
-Little screwdriver (not included) to unscrew the protective cover of the rechargeable battery on the belly of the aircraft.
Charging flight battery
-Slide the charger’s cover open, insert 8 fresh ‘D’ Alkaline type batteries (not included) in the marked orientation and between the white separators. Note: The white separators aid in the insertion of the batteries in the correct orientation. Verify that the connector at the end of the charging cable is clean and ready.
-Find the rechargeable battery inside the box and verify that the connector at the end of the charging cable is clean and ready. Plug the rechargeable battery connector to the connector of the charger until you hear the ‘click’ of connectors locking. The correct orientation of the connectors is when the red /black wires from one side match the red /black wires from the other side.
-the LED should begin blinking in red indicating that charging has begun. When charging is complete the LED stops blinking and stays solid red. Note: Battery heats up during charging. A properly charged battery should be warm to the touch but not overly hot.
-When charging is complete, disconnect the connectors. To disconnect, depress the clip and gently pull the two connectors apart. Do not use excessive force as you may cause damage.
Prepare the aircraft
On the belly of the aircraft identify the battery compartment and the on/off switch.
Slide the switch to the OFF positions.
Unscrew, release and remove the cover.
-Connect the rechargeable battery to the connector inside the aircraft (in a similar way as you just did with the charger). Then insert the battery carefully and gently in place, making sure not to break the wire and not to position the connectors on the top, where it may block the cover from closing.
-Put protective battery compartment door in place and secure with the screw.
Prepare the remote control
-Remove the battery cover located on the rear of the transmitter by sliding it downward.
-Insert the 8 AA’ batteries. Ensure correct orientation as marked. Slide the cover back in place.
-Insert antenna into position and screw it clockwise to secure in place. Do not over tighten.
-Switch to ON, verify that both LEDs light up, and then switch back to OFF.

Motor Check.
-While a friend holds the aircraft, test the following:
•Move the left transmitter stick forward -Both motors should run.
•Move the left transmitter stick backward -both motors should stop.
•Move the right stick to the right
-The left motor should run faster.
•Move the right stick to the left
-The right motor should run faster.
Tip!
Do not try these tests alone as the aircraft propellers could cause injury if they come in contact with your fingers while running. Also the aircraft could actually take off causing damage to the plane's structure.
LAUNCH

•Do not fly near cars, people, pets, overhead wires, bodies of
water, buildings, trees, etc. -Use common sense!
•Fly only in large grassy open areas. -Keep plane away from people,
vehicles and any other
IMPORTANT!
Never attempt the Motor Check and Radio Range-Check Pre Flight without the help of a friend or parent.
•Be sure to operate and fly your
aircraft only under adult supervision.
•Keep clear of the propeller blades!
Radio Range-Check.
-Turn on the transmitter but leave the antenna down, then switch on the plane. Have a friend hold the plane, walk about 20ft. away and with the antenna down, make sure that the plane's motors respond to control inputs from the transmitter.
Flight Conditions.
-Wind speed must be below 5mph. (8km/h). The wind-indicator ribbon should be at no more than a 45 degree angle.
-Humidity and temperature must be comfortable (not too hot) so that the air is fairly dense.
-Your altitude should be below 2000ft. above sea level.

IMPORTANT!
Tip!
It must leave your hand at the recommended 20-30 degrees upwards angle to launch properly. Be sure not to hold onto the plane past these angles when releasing or the plane may crash and damage to the plane structure is possible.
Launch.
-Hold the controller in your left hand and the plane in your right hand.
-Turn so that you are facing into the wind.
-Push the left throttle stick forward so that both motors are running.
-Gently toss the plane at an upwards angle of about 20-30 degrees. Do not throw the plane too hard or the motors may stall. Use about the same force as you would throwing a dart at a dart board.
-Keep the throttle on until you reach a safe altitude of about 40ft.
-If plane veers, or drops to the ground, release the throttle immediately and check to make sure the motors are working correctly.
For any questions or problems with this product please call 1-866-214-2220. Visit our web site: www.interactivetoy.com or E-mail us at info@interactivetoy.com
When hand launching the plane be careful not to release the plane with the nose pointed downwards!
CONTROL IN FLIGHT
CONTROL IN FLIGHT
Left or Right Turn While the Plane is Flying Away from You.
-Pulse the right stick in the direction of the desired turn. Do not hold the stick without pulsing, or the plane will turn too sharply and stall. The pulsing of the stick is the key to great control! Practice this tip the most!
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 your shoulder, when it is coming towards you.
Climb.
-Push the left stick forward all the way, the plane will start to climb
Glide/Descend.
-Release the left stick, the plane will glide at a gentle angle.
Flying.
-Keep the plane in front of you. Don't let it pass overhead, since this is very disorienting.

Repair Kit.
-This emergency field repair kit comes included in your Airtech package and contains clear repair tape, glue, prop removal tool and spare props. Make sure to take your repair kit with you when flying. A small, easily fixed problem and no repair kit with you can ground you for the day.
Landing.
-Turn the plane into the wind and aim it at the landing area.
-Allow the plane to gently descend by pulsing the power (left stick) on and off to achieve a gentle descent rate.
-If a turn is needed, use only gentle pulsing of the right-hand transmitter stick.
-Try to avoid turning the plane when it is within 10ft. of the ground.
-The plane will essentially land itself once you achieve a smooth descent rate.
-Just before touchdown give the plane a short burst of power to level it out and allow it to land at a flat angle. CAUTION: When landing the plane be sure to land up-wind (into the wind) and aim for a soft, flat grassy area!
Broken Prop.
-If you happen to break a propeller use the included prop­removal tool to remove it.
-Then press fit a replacement onto the shaft leaving 1/16" gap between the prop and airframe. Need extra props? Visit out website under the Customer Service Tab.
Glue

Interactive Toy Concepts assumes no liability over final assembly or for any damage resulting from the use of this product. If the buyer is not prepared to accept the liability associated with the use of the aircraft, he/she should return it in unused condition to the place of purchase.
We reserve the right to make improvements to the design of the airplane. Thus, your aircraft may vary slightly from that depicted in the preceding photographs.
Battery Recycling & Disposal.
It may be illegal to dispose of the NiMH battery in your municipal waste. The battery pack contains a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive problems. Do not try to open the battery pack!
Battery Care Information.
1) Never allow the battery pack to become hot during charging -This will cause permanent irreversible damage. Warm is OK -HOT IS NOT!
2) Never leave a battery unattended while it is being charged.
3) Never leave a battery unattended in the presence of small children.
4) Charging time required for a full charge increases with the number of charge cycles due to the gradual draining of the chargers "D" cells.
5) Never recharge a hot battery. Always allow it to cool before charging.
6) If you use an after-market charger, never charge the battery at a rate greater than 500mA.
7) If the flight battery is not completely discharged before recharging, the charging may be less than that of an "empty" battery. Again, do not allow the battery to get too hot!
8) If a day or more passes without charging the battery, or if you are unsure whether or not it is fully charged, discharge the battery, then fully recharge it.
9) Rechargeable batteries are to be removed from the toy before being charged (if removable).
10) Rechargeable batteries are only to be charged under adult supervision (if removable).
