Wing and Landing Gear Attachment

Mounting the Landing Gear

1.Insert the landing gear into the slot on

the bottom of the fuselage.

Attaching the Wing

1.Center the wing on the fuselage by

aligning the center dot on the wing’s

leading edge with the fuselage seam

and by centering the half circle on the

wing’s trailing edge over the fuselage

center seam.

2.Secure the wing in place with two

rubber bands.

3.Before each flight, make sure the

leading and trailing edges of the wing

are exactly centered on the fuselage.

Motor Test and Battery Discharging

Note: If the flight battery is too low on

power, the throttle stick may not function,

and the steering may or may not function.

If this is the case, proceed to “Charging

the Airplane Battery.”

1.With the control sticks in their center

position, turn the transmitter on. Do

not touch the sticks for two seconds

while the onboard computer calibrates

the controls.

2.Install the flight battery in the fuselage

slot and plug in the connector.

3.The Firebird OutlawTM has a throttle-

arming feature. If you were to plug in

the battery with the transmitter throttle

on, the motors would not run. The

receiver must see the throttle at center

before it will arm the motors. The

throttle-arming feature will be

activated each time the battery is

plugged into the airplane.

ADULT SUPERVISION REQUIRED

WARNING: Keep everything clear

of the propellers. A moving

propeller can cause injury.

4.Push the throttle stick forward to run

the motors at high speed until the throttle

shuts off in order to fully discharge the

battery. If there is not enough charge in

the battery to power the propellers, then

proceed to the next page.

5.When finished with the motor test, be sure

to disconnect the flight battery first, then

turn off the transmitter.

Charging the Airplane Battery

Note: Never charge a hot battery or a

battery that is already charged. Always

discharge before every charge. See

Step 2 (page 6) for instructions on

discharging.

Important: For best performance, the

Firebird Outlaw battery should be charged

shortly before flying. If it has been longer

than 24 hours since fully charging, give

the battery a “booster charge” by charging

it for an extra 20 minutes prior to flying.

Do not leave the battery unattended during

the booster charge. Or discharge the

battery and charge it again.

•The charger supplied with the Firebird

Outlaw has a built-in timer. Plug the

battery into the charger, then plug the

charger into the wall. The LED indicator

should glow constantly. After about

2hours, the LED will turn off. At

this time the battery is charged and

ready to use.

•To charge another battery, the charger

must be unplugged from the wall to

reset the timer (then start over).

Steering Control Test

WARNING: Keep everything clear

of the propellers before starting

the control test because the

propellers will spin.

1.Switch on the transmitter—make sure

the LED is lit, indicating the transmitter

has power. Do not touch the sticks for

two seconds while the controls calibrate.

2.Install the flight battery in fuselage and

plug in the connector.

3.Hold the plane securely by the tail

boom, making sure everything is clear

of the propellers.

Note: The Firebird Outlaw™ has propellers

that spin in opposite directions to cancel

problematic torque effects. It is normal for

the propellers to spin in opposite directions.

RIGHT LEFT RIGHT LEFT

4.Move the left stick forward. Both

propellers should spin rapidly.

5.Move the right stick to the right. The left

propeller should spin and the right

propeller should not.

6.Move the right stick to the left. The right

propeller should spin and the left

propeller should not.

Step 5

Firebird Outlaw Ins. Man 1/17/03 4:52 PM Page 8

Choose a Large Open Grassy Field

•The Firebird Outlaw™ flies approximately

18 mph, so it covers ground fast. A

large, open grass area with soft ground

is required, and the bigger the field,

the better!

•It is absolutely essential to have a

minimum of 300 feet of clear space in

all directions from the pilot. Flying the

Firebird Outlaw in a more restricted

space will most likely end in crashes

and damage.

IMPORTANT: To keep people, property

and the Firebird Outlaw safe, do not fly

over or near people, buildings, power

lines, highways, train tracks, vehicles,

trees, water, pavement or other hard

surfaces and objects. Crash damage is

not covered by the warranty.

Step 6

Firebird Outlaw Ins. Man 1/17/03 4:52 PM Page 9

Choose a Calm Day

SUCCESS TIP: Flying in too much wind

is by far the #1 reason for crashes and/or

lost planes. Follow these guidelines to

protect the Firebird Outlaw—you’ll be

glad you did.

•On your first flights with the Firebird

Outlaw™, do not fly if the wind is

more than 5 mph!

•To check wind conditions:

1.Tie the included red flag to the end of

your transmitter antenna.

2.Hold the transmitter flat so the antenna

is parallel to the ground and note how

much the flag moves in the wind.

3.If the flag hangs down, you’re good

to fly.

4.If the angle between the antenna and

the flag is less than 25°, it’s too windy

for your first flights with the

Firebird Outlaw.

You want to fly! If you wait until the day

is right, you will have a successful flight.
