4. Opstelling en samestelling
4.1 Battery Laai
- Connect the USB charging cable to a USB power source (e.g., computer, USB wall adapter).
- Connect the battery to the charging cable. The indicator light on the USB cable will show charging status (refer to charger instructions for specific light patterns).
- Once fully charged, disconnect the battery from the charger. Do not leave batteries unattended while charging.
4.2 Propeller Installation and Propeller Saver
The TR-C385 features a propeller saver mechanism designed to protect the propeller and motor during impacts. If the propeller detaches during a crash, simply reattach it to the motor shaft. Ensure it is securely fitted.

4.3 Aircraft and Transmitter Preparation
- Insert the charged battery into the battery compartment of the airplane. Secure it to prevent movement during flight.
- Turn on the airplane's power switch.
- Install 4x AA batteries (not included) into the remote control transmitter.
- Turn on the transmitter. The airplane and transmitter should automatically pair. If not, refer to the troubleshooting section.
5. Bedryfsinstruksies
The TR-C385 is a 4-channel RC airplane, providing control over throttle, rudder, elevator, and ailerons. It also features a steerable tail wheel for ground control.

5.1 Senderkontroles
- smoor: Beheer motorspoed en hoogte.
- Roer: Controls yaw (left/right turning on the horizontal axis).
- Hysbak: Controls pitch (nose up/down for climbing/descending).
- Ailerons: Controls roll (tilting wings left/right for banking turns).
- Steerable Tail Wheel: Allows for directional control during taxiing on the ground.
5.2 Flying Modes
The TR-C385 offers three levels of flying assistance: Easy, Medium, and Hard. These modes adjust the sensitivity of the controls and the level of gyro stabilization. Start with 'Easy' mode and progress as your skills improve.
- Maklike modus: Maximum gyro stabilization for beginners, providing stable flight.
- Medium modus: Reduced gyro assistance, allowing for more agile maneuvers.
- Harde modus: Minimal gyro assistance for experienced pilots, enabling full control and advanced aerobatics.
5.3 Take-off, Flight, and Landing
- Opstyg: Place the airplane on a flat surface facing into the wind. Gradually increase throttle while applying slight elevator input to lift off. Alternatively, hand-launch the plane with a gentle toss forward.
- Vlug: Use the control sticks to maneuver the airplane. Practice gentle turns and altitude changes.
- Landing: Reduce throttle and approach the landing area. Maintain a slight nose-up attitude with elevator control to slow down and gently touch down.
6. Stunt Flying Features
The TR-C385 is capable of performing various stunts with ease, especially in Medium or Hard flying modes.
6.1 One-Key Aerobatics
With a simple push of a button on the transmitter, the airplane can perform pre-programmed stunts such as loops and spirals. Ensure sufficient altitude and clear airspace before activating stunt functions.

7. Battery-inligting
The TR-C385 uses 3.7V 360mAh LiPo batteries. Proper battery care ensures optimal performance and longevity.
- Battery tipe: 3.7V 360mAh LiPo (Lithium Polymer)
- Laai tyd: Approximately 60-90 minutes (varies by power source).
- Vlugtyd: Up to 15 minutes per fully charged battery, depending on flying style and conditions.
- Berging: Store batteries in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Do not store fully charged or fully discharged for extended periods.
8. Onderhoud en versorging
Regular maintenance will extend the life of your TR-C385 RC airplane.
- Skoonmaak: Wipe the aircraft with a soft, dry cloth after each flight to remove dirt or debris. Avoid using harsh chemicals.
- EPP-skuimversorging: The EPP foam material is durable but can be damaged by sharp objects or excessive force. Minor dents can sometimes be smoothed out with gentle heat (e.g., warm water, hairdryer on low setting, from a distance).
- Propeller vervanging: If a propeller is damaged beyond reattachment, replace it with one of the spare propellers provided. Ensure the new propeller is securely fitted.
- Berging: Store the airplane in its original packaging or a protective case to prevent damage. Remove batteries from both the airplane and transmitter during long-term storage.
9. Probleemoplossing
| Probleem | Moontlike oorsaak | Oplossing |
|---|---|---|
