GETTING IN TO THE AIR...
1. Sit in the Pilot's seat and to the front left is the ENGINE POWER Panel. Flip the switch to power on the Jet Turbine. It will start up in IDLE MODE which provides enough RPS to recharge batteries on the group.
2. Hit the UP Arrow on the ENGINE POWER PANEL to put the RAPTOR in to either FLIGHT (FLT) or OVERDRIVE (OVR) mode. FLIGHT MODE provides an adequate amount of power for slow loitering and conserving Fuel. OVERDRIVE is for high speed and maneuvering. In most cases you will want to use OVR mode.
3. ENGINE will start to spool up.

Now you have choices on how to Fly...

ALTITUDE HOLD:
- Hit the ALT HOLD BUTTON on the Top Left CONTROLS panel to engage the ALTITUDE HOLD button. When the system is active you can use the 1 and 2 keys to INCREMENT and DECREMENT the requested HOLD ALTITUDE. The system will automatically set the starting HOLD ALTITUDE to the altitude you were at when you engaged the system.

PUSHER DUCTED FAN MOTOR:
There is a supplementary DUCTED FAN system which is used to thrust the RAPTOR forward while remaining level. Press the 3 and 4 Keys to INCREASE and DECREASE the Throttle Percentage of the system. You will see the requested level reflected on your HUD to the BOTTOM Right. At 100% PUSHER POWER and AUTOHOVER OFF you will be getting a speed of around 60 m/s (216 km/h, 116 knots, 134 mph)

AP:
To the right of the PILOT there are two keypads: GPS X/Y (Large Keypad) and Destination Altitude (Small Keypad). Plug in the Destination GPS Coordinates using the large key and enter the Altitude you wish to achieve at the Destination on the small keypad. Click on the AP Start button in the Top Left CONTROL panel. The RAPTOR will takeover and plot a progressive path to your destination at top speed adjusting the altitude on route. When you arrive it will be your designated GPS coordinates and the altitude. The RAPTOR will come to a stop and turn on AUTOHOVER for position holding.

AUTOHOVER:
Hitting Key 6 will toggle the AUTOHOVER mode on (GYRO HOVER) to assist with slower level flight. There is an indicator just beyond the HUD that will be lit when AUTOHOVER is engaged.

"TAKE OFF THE TRAINING WHEELS...":
The RAPTOR shines in Free Flight Mode. Turn off all the assistive systems (ALT HOLD and AUTOHOVER) and using a combination of the PUSHER MOTOR, PITCH, YAW and ROLL to put her through her paces. Use ROLL to go heavy over, PITCH BACK and apply FULL COLLECTIVE to implement extremely tight turns. ROLL back level to continue with flight. With the PUSHER FAN MOTOR at higher throttles she will be capable of loops and barrel rolls. Use liberal amounts of ROLL, and PITCHING just like you were in a plane.

SHUTTING DOWN and PARKING:
1. After Landing switch the ENGINE down to IDLE mode and apply the PARKING BRAKES (CENTRE LEFT PANEL) to keep her in place.
2.Flip the switch to turn the ENGINE POWER off. In order to bring the ROTORS to a stop there is an optional ROTOR BRAKE available to the left of the PILOT near the INTERNAL LIGHTS controls. There are additional switches to power down the HUD and the MFDs (MAIN, LEFT and RIGHT)
3. After exiting the RAPTOR next to the ladder there are optional GROUND ANCHOR deploy buttons. Hitting the button will swivel down two MAG-ALL from the belly and engage them when they reach full deployment.
