Hand Launch : what NOT to do
1. Hold Stingray WING (NOT the
vertical Fin) between the fingers
and make sure that the bottom
end (a) and the front legs (b)
are on a horizontal line (c).
If you would like to
enhance the
control distance,
you may need to
add the IR Booster.

If you would like to enhance the control distance, you may need to add the IR Booster.
Make sure the power switch of transmitter is on
“OFF” position.
1. Use a screwdriver to loosen screw on the battery
case in anti-clockwise. (pic.5)
2. Cover the IR Booster to battery case, then tighten
the screw in clockwise . (pic.6)
3. Connect the plug to the IR Booster socket. (pic.7)
4. Turn on the power of transmitter. You can see the
pic.5
red LED light on IR Booster will flash. (pic.7)

Replacement of rudder
Dog Fight
- Take out the broken or spoiled
rudder as photo shown.
- Cut long strings (4mm wide and 20cm long) from very light paper or
plastic bag and attach it with some tapes to each of the Stingrays. Try
to cut or touch the string of the opponent Stingray.

Flying Your Plane
Set the band on transmitter the same to the plane.
1. Set the ON/OFF switch on plane to ON. BE SURE THE TRANSMITTER IS "OFF" when turn on the plane.
2. Set the throttle lever on transmitter to MINIMUM throttle, then set it to ON.
3. For the first flights, select an area with sufficient free space to get used to the controls. After a couple of flights the pilot will then be capable to fly in very
small and tight places. Set the direction lever on transmitter in its neutral position, then push the throttle to about 50% of the maximum power. Hand
throw the plane out and observe flight path. When the plane keeps turning clockwise, push and release the left side of trim repeatedly till the turning
stops and the plane flies straight (pic.8). When the plane keeps turning counter clockwise, push and release the right side of the trim repeatedly till the
turning stops and the plane flies straight & go straight (pic.9). Repeat the above steps several times until the plane goes straight.
As an alternative, Stingray can start from a smooth floor (no carpet) or a small table top by gently pushing the throttle till take-off.
Stick a label
- If your plane has minor damage, you can fix it with label.

4. When your plane can fly steadily, you can move the
direction lever to left or right so that it can turn to left
or right. You may need to strike but not hold the
direction lever for easy adjustment.
The “turning” function depends on the rear rudder,
please note that if the plane responses slowly to
your command, you should throttle up for better
performance.
5. Landing: Lower the throttle (to about 30%) till the
plane starts descending AND KEEP power at that
level till the plane touches the ground. Then set
throttle to zero. After some exercises, the Stingray
can be flown down almost like a parachute and land
on a very short distance.
6. You can operate your plane to do some different
actions as the table shown. (Table 1)
PLANE MUST BE
TRIMMED CORRECTLY
FOR BEST FLYING!

Trouble Shooting
Remark: it is very important not to go to full
