Aileron：Controls roll（right/left）；
Elevator：Controls pitch（up/down）；
Rudder：Controls yaw（right/left direction）；
Receiver (RX)：provides input to the control surfaces and ESC ；
Power system-ESC(Electronic Speed control)：Controls the speed of motor；
Retractable motor system (RMS)：The Motor is installed on the retractable gear! Motor

system will be unfolded from the fuselage when the plane needs to climb, and the
motor runs the propeller to provide thrust .When the plane is in the situation of glide,
the motor system will be retracted into the fuselage to reduce the drag.
Li-Po battery ：Rechargeable batteries which are used to power the airplane .Li-Po batteries
are lighter and smaller than the most other types of rechargeable batteries；
Transmitter (TX) ：The hand-held unit that sends signal to the receiver. Moving the sticks
control direction, climb/descent, roll , motor speed and the RMS for folding / unfolding；
Flying mode switch：There are two flying mode of DG 1000: “NORMAL” mode and the “AUTO”

mode, it is switched by a selector switch on the transmitter. The RMS is always
unfolded when the “NORMAL” mode is on, The throttle stick (CH3) just control the
motor speed; When you choose the “AUTO” model, The folding / unfolding of RMS will
be controlled by the throttle stick in special process, while the throttle stick will control
the motor speed.

1、Locate the transmitter ；
2、The transmitter requires eight alkaline “AA” batteries. To install the batteries, remove the
battery hatch by sliding it down and inserting them into place(PIC.02). Be sure to follow
the polarity diagram inside the battery compartment. Reinstall the battery hatch(PIC.03).
CAUTION:(1)、Don't use rechargeable batteries (NiCd & NiMh) ;

(2)、Don't mix old and new batteries;
(3)、Don't mix alkaline and standard (carbon-zinc)batteries;

3、Switch the transmitter on and check the LED on the front of the transmitter(PIC.04). If the
green LED is on it is safe to fly.If the red LED is flashing, install fresh batteries. Also
check to make sure that the batteries are installed correctly.

CHARGE THE BATTERY

Dg1000 is equipped with a 3cell-11.1V Li-Po battery
pack(PIC.05).The Li-Po battery has two connectors. One is
for cell balance charging and the other is for discharging.
CAETION： 、Only charge the Li-Po battery with Li-Po

battery balance charger. Or use a conforming charger
which can ensure the Li-Po battery safety during
charging.

⑵、Before charging, disconnect the battery with
any power. After each flight ,remove the pack from the
airplane and allow it to cool completely before recharging.

3、During the charging process, keep the charger or battery pack in a normal temperature
area and away from source of ignition. Do not cover the charger or battery pack with
carpet, clothe or anything else. Air circulation is necessary for proper cooling.

4、Important: Never leave a charging battery unattended. Please stop charging immediately

of the battery temperature rise rapidly.

⑴

Please choose the proper power, battery and transmitter or it will reduce the longevity
under the incorrect improvements.
