A simple guide at first as to how to fly these planes and how they operate with their bespoke transmitters. Then I go into more details explaining things I have found out. These are just my own guidelines, so you please research too and do what you think is correct. I mention how the transmitter operates, what the buttons do and how the three modes are all different. I also explain briefly how I paint these models (more in depth video on my channel), and briefly explain about the LiPo batteries and that the storage voltage is recommended 3.8v as these are single cell. That gives about 7 minutes flying time roughly depending how much throttle you give it. It can fly for twice as long but then you are at risk if draining the battery too much and then it fails, or puffs up (chemicals inside going wrong), or it won't charge. I just charge several batteries or power packs as I call them, and fly each for seven minutes approx. 3.8v is ideal but you can store these at 3.7 to 3.9v no problem.
I use a LiPo meter to measure in the field how charged up my power packs are. This is useful after charging to know it has charged properly. The charge supplied need a USB adapter to plug into and take about an hour. It glows red when charging then goes out when charged. I charge on a ceramic plate, glass board or metal dish, just in case the LiPo decides to catch fire (they might do that if damaged or puffy for example). Always be nearby when charging LiPos. I store mine in a metal case too in regular temperatures. But these are just my own guidelines, so you please research too and do what you think is correct.
Overall these are clever planes, low or no risk due to their durability, and are an awful lot of fun. I know larger planes might be better for stunts, or be impressive models, go faster or whatever but these little foamies have asserted their place in the flying model world as fun and easy to fly with no worries and that is hard to better. I do love these little aircraft.
