STEP 5: RECHARGING YOUR BATTERY
After playing for some time, the performance ability of your Land-Air R/C™ will decrease. At this time, it is time
to charge your Battery Pack. To do so, simply follow these quick and easy steps:
1. Turn the Locking Lever on the bottom of the land vehicle to release the Charging Unit. Remove the Charging Unit.
2. Slide open the Battery Door of the Charging Unit and unplug the rechargeable battery pack.
3. Remove the rechargeable battery and allow it to cool thoroughly before recharging. This will help the battery to
be charged effectively.
4. Repeat STEPS 1 & 2 indicated earlier in this manual.
STEP 6: FLYING YOUR AIRCRAFT WITHOUT THE VEHICLE LAUNCH
1. Slide the switch on the Charging Unit to the "Charging ON" position.
2. Move the LEVER switch to the "AIR" mode and then turn on the
handset controller.
IMPORTANT! Hold the middle of the fuselage with your right hand
near the back AWAY from the propellers.
3. Press the "TURBO" button on the controller to start the propellers.
4. Push and hold the left joystick forward (full throttle).
5. Release the plane DIRECTLY AGAINST A STEADY BREEZE (see
Fig.17).
NOTE: In case of accidentally switching off the controller when the
aircraft is in the air, simply turn on the controller again and press the
"TURBO" button to regain the control of aircraft.
BEWARE of the
spinning propellers!
Take AWAY
from it!

STEP 7: RACING THE LAND VEHICLE ALONE
1. The land vehicle can also be operated without the aircraft attached. Make sure that you have switched off the
aircraft.
2. Switch the LEVER button to "LAND" mode and then turn on the controller.
3. Control your vehicle to go forward, back, left or right with the full function remote handset.
4. Press the "Turbo" boost button to give your vehicle an extra boost of speed while moving forward or backward.
BASIC FLIGHT TECHNIQUES
1. Decrease the speed to climb down.
2. Steer the aircraft to fly with full speed against the head wind to have it climb up efficiently.
3. If you want the aircraft to turn effectively, push the right steering joystick (steering) for around half a second
and then release. Do this repeatedly until you get the desired orientation. Do not hold the steering joystick all the
time. If you do, the aircraft may fly in a spiralling path and begin to lose speed which could force it to plunge
suddenly.
4. If the airplane is flying high in the sky, you may slow down the speed of propellers in order to save the power and
extend the flight time.
5. If you want to land the aircraft, push the left joystick (throttle) for around half a second and then release. Do
this repeatedly to achieve a smooth landing.
6. If the airplane is flying too far away from you, it will fly in a circular path. Move the handset closer to the
aircraft to re-establish signal connection.
7. Depending on your navigation technique, the flight time is up to 3 minutes. Be sure to land well before the 3
minute time limit is reached.
PROPELLER REPLACEMENT
1. To remove the propeller from the mount, press the two small legs at the center of the propeller to release.
(see Fig.18)
2. While holding the two legs, pull out the propeller along the shaft.
3. To install a new propeller, align the legs to the two slots on the mount. (see Fig. 19)
4. Push the propeller against the mount along the shaft; the legs will go into the slots until you hear a "click" sound.
(see Fig.20)
5. Check to ensure the propeller is locked properly.

STEP 3: CHARGING THE AIRCRAFT
1. Before charging the aircraft, slide the power switch under the vehicle to the "OFF" position. You are now
ready to charge the aircraft. The Charging Socket is located above the "ON/OFF" button (see Fig.7).
2. Open the Charging Hatch located on the left side of the vehicle's housing.
3. Take out the Charging Connector from the Land Vehicle and connect it into the aircraft via the Charging
Socket to charge (see Fig.8 & 9). A red LED on the charging lead will flash until end of charge (see Fig.10). The
charging process will take 2 minutes.
4. After the aircraft is fully charged, disconnect the Charging Connector from the aircraft and store it back
inside the vehicle's housing and close the hatch.
5. To activate the aircraft, slide the switch to the "ON" position before launching.
6. Activate the vehicle by reversing the switch under the vehicle to "ON" position.

IMPORTANT:
- For best product performance, always install a fully charged Battery Pack into the vehicle.
- After playing for a certain time, the battery will run out and the aircraft may not launch successfully from the vehicle. Please
replace a fully charged 9.6V Battery Pack to resume the performance. Remove the battery to charge or replace with a
fully charged battery to resume best level of performance.
- The switch on the Charging Unit has two functions - to run the vehicle and to charge the aircraft. Both of these functions
can't be done at the same time.
- The aircraft is not able to charge while the vehicle is switched to "ON" position; likewise, the vehicle will not operate while
"Plane Charging" has taken place.
- Remember to switch off your vehicle when not playing with your Land Air R/C.
- Avoid stalling the rear wheels or else the PCBA and batteries will be damaged.
- Upon continuous playing, the vehicle may shut down automatically due to overheating. Please allow the vehicle to cool
down for at least 20 minutes before restarting.
- The aircraft can only be charged when the switch on the aircraft is pushed down in "OFF" position.
- Watch out for the spinning propellers when picking up the aircraft from the ground.
- The propellers can only be shut down by the switch on the aircraft.
- If the aircraft is out of the operating range or fails to receive a signal from handset, it will turn around and descend for
landing.
- To reduce the risk of damage to the rechargeable battery, avoid overcharging the aircraft.
