MICRO FLYERS, MAXIMUM FUN.

Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone®Ember 2 RTF

airplane. ParkZone’s Etomic™family of innovative ultra-micro yers

makes micro ight a reality for everyone. Proportional, multi-channel,

2.4GHz Spektrum™DSM2™radio technology provides precise control for

amazing, ready-to-y indoor fun. Your Ember 2 comes pre-assembled

with everything needed to get you in the air—all in one box. You only

need to charge the ight battery prior to your rst ight. In as little as 30

minutes, you can be ready to y.

This means you can spend your time rening your ying instead of your

building skills. Your ParkZone Ember 2 will allow you to perform many

aerobatic maneuvers, all in an area the size of half a basketball court.

We at ParkZone are committed to giving you the most enjoyable ight

experience possible. In order to have a safe and successful ight, we ask

that you do not y until you have read these instructions thoroughly. To

learn more about DSM2 radio technology, and how to get the most of

your Ember 2 transmitter, please visit www.bindnﬂy.com

Your Ember 2 features the latest in ultra sub-micro technology,

including a 2.4GHz Spektrum DSM2 fully proportional 3–channel radio

system with full control of throttle, rudder and elevator. Your Ember 2

also comes complete with the latest in lightweight electronic speed

control technology, two linear servos, a 3.7V 70mAh Li-Po ight battery

and a convenient charger.

It is important that you only charge the included 3.7V 70mAh

Li-Po battery (PKZ3001) with the included 1S 3.7V DC Li-Po Charger

(PKZ3240). Attempting to charge the battery using another Li-Po charger

or non-Li-Po compatible charger could result in serious damage. Please

familiarize yourself thoroughly with the Battery Warnings and Guidelines

section before continuing.

To charge your ParkZone 3.7V 70mAh battery:

1. Install four of the included AA batteries in the charger base, noting

proper polarity.

2. Slide the battery into the charge slot on the charger.

3. Gently press the battery into the charging jack in the bottom of the

slot. The LED light on the base will turn solid red.

4. A nearly depleted battery will charge in approximately 20 minutes.

5. As the battery nears fully charged, the LED will begin to blink.

When fully charged, the LED will blink once every 20 seconds.

6. You can expect to be able to charge the ight battery about 15–20

times before it will become necessary to replace the four AA

batteries. Replacing with alkaline batteries will provide more

charge cycles.

Note: The Li-Po battery included with your Ember 2 will arrive

partially charged. For this reason the initial charge may only take

10–15 minutes.

Step 1 – Charging the Aircraft Battery

Installing the Transmitter Batteries

Your ParkZone Ember 2 aircraft comes with a fully proportional 4+

channel radio system that includes digital trims.

1. Insert the 4 AA batteries that are included with the package into

the transmitter.

2. Turn the switch on to ensure the batteries have been installed

correctly. When the batteries are installed correctly, the LED on the

transmitter should glow brightly. When the transmitter makes a

repeated “beep” sound, it is time to replace the transmitter

batteries.

Installing the Landing Gear

Attach the main landing gear by sliding the gear into the lower slot

located on the front wing mount.

Step 2 – Functional Tests

Installing the Flight Battery

Once the Li-Po battery has been fully charged, it’s ready to be installed in

the Ember 2.

Install the battery in the Ember 2 by pressing it to the battery tray with

the label facing downward and the connector oriented toward the back

of the airplane.

Note: Be sure to press the battery against the battery tray so the

battery is secured by the hook and loop material.

Transmitter Control Identiﬁcation

Note: Each time before you ﬂy you should ALWAYS turn the

transmitter on before connecting the ﬂight battery to the ESC unit.

After each ﬂight, be sure that you always disconnect the ﬂight battery

from the ESC unit before powering the transmitter off.

Flight Control Test

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the

control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor.

1. Be certain that the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.

2. Turn the transmitter on rst and lower the throttle stick completely.

Then, plug the battery into the battery lead of the ESC unit.

Note: The connectors on the battery and battery lead are keyed

to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, if you force them

together in the wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity it is still

possible to damage the battery and/or ESC unit.

3. Move the aileron stick left and right to check yaw control. The

rudder should move to the left when the stick is pushed left and

the rudder should move to the right when the stick is pushed right

when viewing the Ember 2 from the back.

Note: For most aircraft, the aileron stick is used for primary turning

control. For the Ember 2, the rudder provides turning control and is

therefore commanded by the aileron stick.

4. Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and aft to

check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward,

the elevator should move down when viewing the Ember 2 from

the back.

Shown with aileron stick pushed to the left. Shown with aileron stick pushed to the right.

5. With the elevator stick pulled back, the elevator should move

upward.

If at any time during the test the controls respond in the opposite

direction, it may be necessary to reverse/change the direction of

operation of the ight controls. Please see the section labeled

Reversing Flight Controls located in the back of this manual.

Note: It is very important to make sure that the control surfaces

(rudder and elevator) are at 0 degrees, or neutral, when the surface

control sticks are centered.
