  • Page 1 IMPORTANT Before beginning assembly, please read and understand the warnings listed on the next page. Failure to read and understand these warnings could lead to bodily harm and/or injury. The Phase3 Models Swoop RTF EP Flying Wing is not intended for those under 14 years of age, unless closely supervised by an adult.

  • Page 2: General Warnings

    FOR YOUR SAFETY - PLEASE READ AND UNDERSTAND THESE WARNINGS You should complete a successful range check of your radio GENERAL WARNINGS equipment prior to each new day of flying, or prior to the first flight of a new or repaired airplane. Do not fly your airplane if another model is on the same frequency as you.

  • Page 3: Parts Identification

    INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Phase3 Models Swoop RTF EP Flying Wing. Before completing the final assembly of your new airplane, please carefully read through these operating instructions in their entirety. Doing so will ensure your success the first time around. As you can see, there's not much to it!
  • Page 4 BATTERY UPGRADE TIP The Swoop RTF EP Flying Wing includes a 1 cell 1300mAH LiPO battery. If you want, you can purchase a second battery (P/N PH109102) so that you have two. That way, you can take two fully-charged batteries with you to fly. That means twice as much...

  • Page 5: Step 1: Installing The Propeller

    ASSEMBLING THE SWOOP RTF EP FLYING WING STEP 1: INSTALLING THE PROPELLER Slide the propeller adapter onto the motor shaft and firmly tighten the two grub screws to secure it into place. It's important that you install the propeller correctly or the airplane won't fly correctly.

  • Page 6: Step 3: Installing The Battery

    Before installing the battery, you'll need to make sure that your transmitter is turned on. WARNING The Swoop RTF EP Flying Wing does not have an on/off switch. When you plug in the battery, the receiver and servos will be powered up and the motor will be able to be turned on. Make sure that your transmitter throttle stick is in the off position.
  • Page 7 Right Turn: A right turn is made by moving the aileron control stick. This is the same stick as the elevator control stick, only it moves right and left. When you move the aileron control stick to the right, the right-side elevon moves up and the left-side elevon moves down, causing the airplane to bank and turn right.

  • Page 8: Step 1: Charging The Battery

    Once the battery no longer has enough power to operate the motor, remove the battery cover and unplug and remove the battery. GETTING READY TO FLY THE SWOOP RTF EP FLYING WING STEP 1: CHARGING THE BATTERY IMPORTANT Before charging the battery, the battery must be fully discharged.

  • Page 9: Your First Flight

    STEP 2: CHOOSING A DAY TO FLY Until you become a proficient flyer you should always plan on flying your airplane when there's no wind. We strongly suggest waiting for a calm day. If it's windy and you attempt to fly, it will only make learning to fly the airplane more difficult. Once you are proficient at flying the airplane, you can fly the airplane in light wind - no more than 10-15 miles per hour.
  • Page 10 HAND LAUNCHING THE SWOOP RTF EP FLYING WING With your transmitter turned on and the battery installed, carefully extend the transmitter antenna completely. Double-check that the throttle control stick is in the off position, then grasp the airplane using the molded hand-hold in the bottom of the airplane.

    LANDING THE SWOOP RTF EP FLYING WING Landing should always be done into the wind with the wing level. To prepare for landing from normal flight, make a shallow turn so that the airplane is flying directly into the wind.
