QUICK-START GUIDE This Quick Start guide is written for the RTF (Ready to Fly) version of the Crusader II. If you have the PTF (Pair to Fly) version, your model comes complete with a pre-installed Hitec Red-enabled receiver. Simply pair (connect) with your existing 2.4GHz Hitec or Hitec Red-enabled transmitter using the pairing guide on last page of this Quick Start guide. A full instruction manual is available to download from www.ares-rc.

5 Slide the vertical stabilizer into its slot at the rear of the fuselage and push it fully home. 6 Check the orientation of the main undercarriage then slot each leg into the mount making sure to align the rectangular hole in the leg with the matching hole in the mount. 7 Insert the undercarriage nose leg into the joiner tube, position the flat section of the leg directly behind the Allen screw, then securely tighten the screw to clamp the leg in place.
PAGE 4
QUICK-START GUIDE 10 To attach the wing to the fuselage locate the dowels at the leading edge then insert the wing bolt plate at the trailing edge to pull the two halves together. 11 Insert the wing bolt and push it firmly down to lock it in position. A firm twist in either direction will release it. 12 Read and fully understand the LiPo care and safety precautions in the full online manual at www.Ares-RC. com and never leave LiPo batteries unattended whilst charging.

15 16 Remove the transmitter battery cover and insert four AA alkaline cells (not included) taking care to observe the correct polarity. Mode 2 Switch ON your transmitter, ensure the LED is lit solid red and move the throttle stick to its low position. 17 Centre all the trim levers noting that trim center is indicated by an audibly longer beep tone. 18 Connect the battery to the Electronic Speed Controller (ESC).
PAGE 6
QUICK-START GUIDE 19 Stow the leads carefully, then close and lock the hatch. In the unlikely event that the servos do not operate see the PAIRING instructions at the back of this guide. 20 With the control surfaces centered, connect the elevator and rudder clevises to the outer hole of each control horn noting that you may have to screw the clevis in or out to ensure that the control surface remains in the neutral position.
PAGE 7
23 24 25 Check the alignment of the nose wheel. With the rudder in the neutral position this will need to be straight. If it’s slightly off center, adjust it in the following manner: 1. Lift the wing, disconnect the aileron leads, and stow it carefully to one side. 2. Locate the nose wheel steering pushrod on top of the rudder servo. 3. Undo the pushrod’s screw-lock connector with a crosshead screwdriver. 4. Adjust the pushrod to bring the wheel into alignment. 5.

Open the battery hatch, unplug the Li-Po battery and switch OFF the transmitter.

e Add the prop shaft to the motor shaft, push it back as far as it will go, then securely tighten the prop nut, noting that a loose propeller can cause considerable damage and serious injury. f Fit the spinner and secure the screw using a crosshead screwdriver. 28 With the LiPo battery inserted, check that your Crusader sits level when balanced on either side of the fuselage at a point 60–70mm back from the leading edge of the wing.
PAGE 10
QUICK-START GUIDE 29 30 Mode 2 With the throttle stick in the low position, switch ON the transmitter once more and connect the battery to the ESC whilst keep well clear of the live propeller. Close the battery hatch and check once more that the control surfaces move in the correct manner. 29 Mode 1 With the throttle stick in the low position, switch ON the transmitter once more and connect the battery to the ESC whilst keep well clear of the live propeller.

PAIRING GUIDE Transmitter Pairing Having followed Steps 1 to 19, in the unlikely event that your Crusader does not operate please follow the 4 stage pairing process detailed here: If you’re completing the PTF version of the Crusader using a Hitec air transmitter, follow your transmitter’s guide to pairing and power ON the receiver when prompted, noting that the KA-6 receiver is an autopair receiver and does not require that you press a pair/link button.
