Instruções de operação

Once assembled and balanced, your Happy-Fly Electric Glider is ready for flight.

1. Instalação da bateria: Insert the fully charged flight battery into the designated compartment, ensuring it is secured and connected correctly to the ESC.
2. Configuração do transmissor: Turn on your remote control transmitter first, then power on the glider's receiver. Ensure proper binding between the transmitter and receiver.
3. Verificação de controle: Before launch, verify that all control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder) respond correctly to transmitter inputs. Check for full and free movement.
4. Lançar: For hand launch, hold the glider firmly and launch it into the wind with a gentle, level throw while applying throttle. For ground launch, ensure sufficient runway and apply throttle smoothly.
5. Controle de voo:
   • Elevador: Controla a inclinação (nariz para cima/para baixo).
   • Leme: Controla a guinada (nariz para a esquerda/direita).
   • Ailerons: Controls roll (wing tilt), used for banking turns.
   • Acelerador: Controla a velocidade e a altitude do motor.
6. Planando: Once at desired altitude, reduce or cut throttle to enter gliding mode. Utilize thermals for extended flight.
7. Aterrissagem: Approach the landing area into the wind. Reduce throttle and gently guide the glider down, flaring just before touchdown to reduce speed.
8. Pós-voo: Disconnect the flight battery from the glider first, then turn off your transmitter. Inspect the glider for any damage.

Manutenção

Regular maintenance will extend the lifespan and performance of your glider.

• Limpeza: Wipe down the airframe with a soft, damp cloth after each flight to remove dirt and debris. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Inspeção: Before and after each flight, inspect all components for cracks, dents, loose connections, or wear. Pay close attention to wings, tail, propeller, and control linkages.
• Verificação da hélice: Ensure the propeller is free from nicks or cracks. A damaged propeller can cause vibrations and reduce efficiency. Replace if necessary.
• Cuidados com a bateria: Store batteries in a cool, dry place. Do not leave batteries fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods. Follow manufacturer guidelines for battery charging and storage.
• Armazenar: Store the glider in a safe place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and moisture. Consider disassembling wings for compact storage if needed.
• Peças de reposição: Keep essential spare parts on hand, such as propellers, control horns, and pushrods, for quick repairs.
