CHARGING YOUR AIRPLANE

Important Charging Information:

• Before taking your initial flight, charge the plane for a complete charge cycle on your charger.

• Depending upon the length of future play, you will not need to complete a full charge before each flight.
NOTE: A shortened charge results in a shorter playtime (may take up to 1/2 hour to fully charge).

1. Push the

plane’s
ON/OFF
Switch to the
left to set the
plane to OFF.

3. Flip the Charge

Door open to
reveal the
Charge Nozzle.

5. During the charging

process, the green charge
light will turn ON. When
the Aero Ace™ is
completely charged, the
green charging light will
turn OFF.

1. Location – Fly in a large wide open, grassy location that is free of
buildings, trees, overhead wires, and other obstructions. Do not fly

near people or animals.

2. Weather – Fly on mild, sunny days. Do not fly in electrical storms, rain,
sleet, snow or other adverse weather conditions. Do not fly if the
temperature is below 7°C/45°F. In very cold temperatures, the plane will
become fragile and the engine performance will decrease.

3. Wind Conditions – Do not fly in wind. Winds may overpower the plane
and make it difficult to control. In windy conditions, it may appear as
though you have no control over the plane.

FLYING INDOORS?
Note: Always get a parent’s permission

to fly your Aero Ace™ indoors.
Location – Fly in a wide open room, far

from breakable items – an empty double
car garage or unfinished basement are
great options. Avoid flying near vents
and/or fans, as they may overpower the
plane and make it difficult to control.
