LITHIUM BATTERY/CHARGER CAUTIONS: This model airplane uses a lithium polymer (LiPo) battery. Improper handling may result in damage or injury. You are responsible for following all safety precautions as outlined below: • • • • • • • • • • • Very important! Never leave the charger and LiPo battery unattended while charging! Do not charge a LiPo battery on a flammable surface or near combustible materials. Never charge inside a vehicle or at a location that could be damaged in the event of a LiPo fire.

CHARGING THE BATTERY: Charge the Lithium polymer (Lipo) Battery. Review the warnings in the front of this manual and most importantly, NEVER leave a charger unattended. 1. Plug the C-420 charger into an outlet. The three LED’s will indicate green. 2. Plug the battery into the 4-wire port on the end of the charger. Do not force! The plug will only go in one way. 3. The LED’s will turn red indicating that the battery is charging. Note: This charger is capable of charging 2S or 3S batteries.

ASSEMBLY: 1. 2. 3. Attach the base parts to the fin. Secure with (2)M2.8x8 screws. Do not overtighten. 4. Place the stabilizer in position on the fuselage. 5. Attach the fin assembly to the fuselage. Fasten in place using (2)M2.6x16 screws. 6. Attach the steering arm to the rudder with (1)M3x6 screw. DO NOT fully tighten, the arm needs to float on the screw. Line up and install the main gear into the slot on the bottom of the fuselage. Make sure the landing gear angle forward.

7. 8. 9. Attach the clevis to the rudder and elevator control surfaces. Use the outer holes of the arms. Slide the clevis retainers up to secure the clevis. Insert the two carbon wing joiners into the wing and slide the two wing halves together. Install the wing center cover by lining up the posts on the bottom of the cover with the holes in the wing. 10. Connect the aileron servos to the Y-harness coming from the receiver. 11. Place the wing in place making sure you are not pinching the servo wires.

CONTROLS SETUP: Caution! When working on your aircraft with the battery installed, ALWAYS remove the propeller in order to avoid the chance of injury if the motors accidentally turn on. 1. 3. Turn on the transmitter, move the throttle to high and then back to low. a. Remove the bottom hatch and plug in a charged battery. You will hear a series of beeps coming from the motor. Check the control direction and reverse the servos from your transmitter if needed. a. Move the rudder stick left.

FLOAT CONVERSION: 1. Remove the wing from the fuselage. 2. Remove the wheels from the main landing gear. 3. Remove the tail wheel and tail wheel wire from the fuselage. 4. Attach the rear main gear onto the bottom of the airplane using two flat straps and (4)M3x8 screws. Make sure the wire angles to the back. 5. Insert the two float spreader bars into the inside holes of the float and secure with (4)M3x8 screws. 6. Attach the floats to the main gear. 7.

CENTER OF GRAVITY (CG): IMPORTANT! DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP. Having a properly balanced aircraft is critical for proper flight. Too nose heavy and the plane will want to dive and be hard to take off and land. Too tail heavy and the plane will feel unstable and out of control. Both conditions can cause the aircraft to crash. 1. With the aircraft upright, use your fingertips and lift the plane up at the stickers located under the wing next to the fuselage. a. If the nose drops, move the battery backwards. b.

FLYING: Caution: As a rule of thumb “always” assume the propeller could spin at any time. Whenever a battery is installed, stay clear of the propeller! • Choose a wide-open area away from people, buildings, and power lines. • You can take off and fly in any of the three flight modes. • Flight modes. o Manual mode: This mode gives you the most control of the plane and allows you to perform aerobatics like loops and rolls. The gyros are still active however to assist you in strong winds.
PAGE 10
   When ready to land, point the plane into the wind and keep the wings as level as possible. Lower the throttle so the plane will descend. When the plane is ready to touch down, reduce the throttle to zero and add in a little elevator to flare the nose right before touching down. After landing on water, slowly taxi back to the shore. Stop the motor before retrieving the aircraft from the water. • When you notice the power starting to drop, land immediately.
PAGE 11
c. Push and hold any one of the trim buttons on the transmitter while simultaneously turning on the power. Hold until the transmitter beeps. d. Move the throttle from low to high and back to low. The flashing will stop, and you will now be linked e. The transmitter will remember this link for future operation. CARE AND MAINTENANCE: Caution! When working on your plane with the battery installed, always remove the propeller to avoid the chance of injury if the motors accidentally turn on.
