Turn on the transmitter and plug the battery into the speed
control. Turn on the receiver by following the instructions that
came with your ESC. Secure the radio tray hatch in place.
IMPORTANT: Confirm that the transmitter operates the
controls properly by moving the sticks and watching the
surfaces respond.
When ready to launch, the assistant should hold the XPD-8
ARF by the finger grips on the underside of the fuse, with
the model in front of him and pointed into the wind. With
the pilot (that would be you!) standing behind the plane, fully
advance the throttle to start the motor. When the motor is at
full power, the hand launcher should gently push the plane
into the air at a level or slightly nose-up attitude. Be certain
the model is being launched into the wind and be
immediately ready to make corrections to keep the airplane
flying straight, level and into the wind.
When the model has gained adequate flying speed under
its own power, gently pull the elevon stick back until the
airplane starts a gradual climb. Even experienced flyers
tend to pull too hard causing the model to stall, so be gentle
on the elevon and don't panic. If you do pull too hard and
you notice the model losing speed, release the elevon stick
and allow the model to regain airspeed.
Continue a gradual climb and establish a gentle turn (away
from yourself and others) until the airplane reaches an
altitude of 75 to 100 ft [20 to 30m].
The main purpose of the first few flights is to learn how the
model behaves and to adjust the trims for level flight. After
the model has climbed to a safe altitude, reduce the throttle
slightly to slow the model, yet maintain altitude. The XPD-8
ARF should fly well and maintain adequate airspeed at
about 1/2 throttle.
Adjust the elevon trim so the model flies level at the throttle
setting you are using. It may take a few minutes to get the
trims adjusted, but this should be your first priority once at
a comfortable altitude. Continue to fly around, executing
turns and making mental notes (or having your assistant
take notes for you) of what additional adjustments or C.G.
changes may be required to fine tune the model so it flies
the way you like.
Allow the motor time to cool between flights. Flying
with a hot motor will cause a reduction in motor
lifespan or failure.
Begin the landing approach by flying downwind at an
altitude of approximately 20 ft [6m]. When the airplane is
approximately 50 to 100 ft [15 to 30m] past you, gradually

reduce power and make the "final" 180° turn into the wind,
aligning the airplane with the runway or landing area. Do not
dive the airplane, as it will pick up too much speed. Instead,
allow the airplane to establish a gradual descent.
Concentrate on keeping it heading into the wind toward the
landing area. When the plane reaches an altitude of about
3 ft [1m], gently apply a little "up elevon" to level the plane,
but be careful as too much up elevon will cause it to stall.
While holding a slight amount of up elevon the airplane will
slow and descend as it loses flying speed, thus touching-
down on the ground.
Until you are able to accurately judge how far the XPD-8 ARF
can glide, it may be helpful to reserve some battery power to run
the motor so the plane can be flown back to the landing area.
Best of luck and happy flying!

Great Planes ElectriFly PolyCharge Charger
Simple to set up and use, the PolyCharge is perfect for 1-3 cell
LiPo power packs. It's about the size of a business card - and
weighs just over 4 ounces! PolyCharge automatically starts
charging when the pack is connected, and automatically stops
at full charge. Adjusting the charge rate to capacity takes only
a moment and a touch on the selector switch. Choose from
250mA, 500mA or 1,000mA rates. A buzzer and blue LED
indicate start/stop charge; high/low voltage input; reverse
polarity (output), and loose/broken pack connection. Includes
alligator clips on a 30" lead for input and a standard red 2-pin
connector on output. GPMM3010
