INTRODUCTION Thank you for choosing Avios and for purchasing the Bushmule, the ultimate utilitarian RC model airplane. The Bushmule has been designed as an all-purpose, all terrain Short Take Off & Landing (STOL) machine. Prepare your bush landing strips, snow fields and water runways for this exciting workhorse of the sky. Born from the same stable as the venerable bushmule, The Avios Bushmule is ready to take whatever you can throw at it. Designed to perform many tasks and take everything in its stride.

Auxiliary fins Required to complete the Avios Bushmule: With all of the planes in the Avios range the Bushmule (in the plug and fly format) will require some additional electronic components to be ready for flight. Avios recommends the products linked to related items for optimum performance and great value.
ASSEMBLY 1. Vertical and Horizontal Tail Surfaces • Flex all control surfaces (Elevator and rudder) to loosen the hinge joint. • Attach the Horizontal tailplane and then insert the vertical stabilizer with the front first then home the rear of the vertical stabilizer. Make sure this is a secure firm fit. Use 2 2mm x 45mm self-tapping screws to mount the tail surfaces to the rear of the fuselage.
3. Installation of main wing • • • • • • • • The main wing centre piece houses the motors, ESC’s, flaps, flap servos and main wiring harness. Please centre all servos, flex the ailerons on the outer wing panels. Connect all control rods to the cont rol horns with the supplied hardware to the flaps and Ailerons. Make the wiring harness is labelled and organised then bundled together to keep the wiring harness from getting caught between the main centre wing and fuselage.
4. Electronic avionics set up • Requiring a minimum 6 channel receiver bound to your transmitter plug in all the corresponding channels. • These controls include the Throttle, Ailerons, Elevator, Rudder, Flaps and cargo door. • Plug your 4S LiPo flight battery into the XT-60 battery connector that powers up your Bushmule. • Check the rotation of the outrunner motors, they should both spin in opposite direction. Either both towards the fuselage or towards the wing tips.
Basic assembly of your Bushmule is complete. Now perform a final check on all screws, bolts and components, ensuring all are secure and firmly in place.

6. Centre of Gravity The centre of gravity or CoG is the most important measurement for a successful and comfortable flight. The suggested CoG for the Avios Bushmule is 50-60mm from the leading edge of the wing.With your flight battery installed balance the Bushmule will fly perfectly at the required measurement. CG Location: CG 50-60 mm ~ from leading edge. With assembly and set-up now complete, your Avios Bushmule should be ready for flight.
7. Hints We have a few hints to help when flying the Avios Bushmule, when measuring the CoG take some time to adjust this to match your flying style. Moving the battery to adjust the CoG forward and aft to find your personal balance point. Another great tip is to balance your new plane laterally (wing tip to wing tip) this is a looked over but important balance before you fly. Balancing the 3 bladed propellers always helps to keep vibration to a minimum and help with efficiency.
9 MODEL FLYING PRECAUTIONS • Select your flight area carefully. Always choose an open space that is unobstructed from trees and buildings and away from crowed areas. Avoid flying in areas with roads, electric/telephone poles/wires and water nearby or within close proximity to full size controlled airspace. • Do not fly this model in poor weather. High winds, low visibility, inclement weather, rain and storms are to be avoided. • Never attempt to catch this model whilst in flight.
10PRE-FLIGHT CHECKS: • Always perform a range check between your Transmitter (TX) and Receiver (RX). Please follow your Transmitter manufacturers guidelines for performing this important check. • Check all screw, nuts, bolts, grub screws and mounting points are firmly secured, including control horns and clevises. • Only fly with fully charged batteries (both flight batteries and transmitter batteries) Failure to do so could result in loss of control, damage to persons and property.
12. From Avios to the customer • Firstly, thank you for purchasing the Avios Bushmule and welcome to the adventure of all terrain flight. Anytime, Anywhere. • Whilst not essential to flying, the use of coordinated rudder in flight will add to the general handling through to slow speed manoeuvres, improve your flying skills and let you explore the full potential of this fine model. A mix of 40% aileron-rudder is recommended as a good starting point.

TROUBLE SHOOTING� Problem Cause Solution 1. Battery is not fully charged. 2. Transmitter battery low. 3. Motors not connected. 4. The motor is damaged. 5. Reciever is not bound to Tx. 6. ESC in set-up mode. 1. Charge the batteries. 2. Install a full charged battery. 3. Check for connection between the ESC and motor. 4. Replace motor. 5. Consult Radio manual and go through bind procedure again. 6. Hold model and move throttle to full postion then back down to idle. Model moves backwards 1.
