Note: Make certain to only peel off the backing. Peeling off too much will also remove the sticky
tape so that the parts will not adhere to one another. The backing should peel off easily; if it
is not coming off easily, you may be removing the backing and the tape.
3.
Attach the Lower Wing (11) with Battery/Switch Compartment Plug (13) to the Fuselage-see
Figure 2. Make certain that the Lower Wing (11) with Battery/Switch Compartment Plug (13)
and the Fuselage (1) are lined up perfectly before pressing them together.
4.
Locate both Bi-Wing Supports (10). The Bi-Wing Supports (10) must be set on the Lower
Wing (11) pointing forward and outward-see Figure 3. Remove the tape backing from both
sides of the Lower Wing (11) and press the Bi-Wing Supports (10) into place as in Figure 3.

Make certain that the “On/OFF” switch for the Bi-Plane is in the “OFF” position. Install four
(4) “AA” Batteries into the Charger (20) making certain that the (+) and (-) polarity marks are
lined up correctly.
Plug the Charger (20) into the Battery/Switch Compartment (13)- see Figure 6. Charge the
Batteries for 30 seconds only.
WARNING! NEVER charge the batteries longer than 30 seconds. Overcharging can
cause overheating, resulting in PERSONAL INJURY or property damage.
Turn the Bi-Plane “ON” and allow the batteries to run through one cycle until the Bi-Plane
runs down. Recharge battery at this point.
First Motorized Test Flight
Fly the Bi-Plane in an open area, free of obstructions (especially phone and electrical power lines)
and fly it on a calm day. Never fly in winds above 10 MPH.
Make certain that you fly in a large and clear area as you experiment with flight patterns.
Wind can take the Bi-Plane a considerable distance.
Flying the Bi-Plane

2.
3.
4.
Turn the On/Off Switch on the Bi-Plane to the “ON” position. Tilt the Bi-plane with the nose
10 degrees upward and face it into the wind. Firmly toss the Bi-Plane.
Turning “OFF” the power for about 15 minutes between each flight will prolong your batteries
life-span.
To adjust the flight radius of the Bi-Plane, you can bend the rudder of the Horizontal Tail Wing
(12) two or three degrees left or right.
Check the Bi-Plane for damage before each use. Make certain that the wings are correctly
aligned and that they are free from damage. Make certain that the Bi-Plane and all of its
parts are free from damage. Make certain that the Propeller (16) is securely in place before
using.
5.
The Bi-Plane comes with one container of Glue for any minor repairs which are needed if
damage occurs during use.
