Flying

Warning

Never fly the aircraft with an empty nosecone, and if not using a BST designed payload, verify the CG and weight for the aircraft are in the correct range before operating. The aircraft WILL CRASH if weight and CG are not within the correct bounds.

Warning

Always assume that the aircraft could launch even if the charging process has not completed. Never move in front of the aircraft on the launcher, and keep a safe radius from both the aircraft and launcher while the system contains ANY amount of pressure.

  1. Ensure that the propeller is vertical to protect it from the folding arms.

  2. With the aircraft in Ready-to-Launch, power-on the launcher. Ensure the mode is Auto on the handset and the the engine is Enabled. Wait until the pump shuts off and the strobe light on the tank turns on.

  3. Finally ensure that the aircraft is facing into the wind and the aircraft control window shows all states are green. Press-and-hold both of the fire buttons. It takes 3-4s to fire.

  2. Single-click Go To Point on the menu that pops up.
