Test the electric device Bind the receiver to the transmitter 1. Before getting started, bind your receiver with your transmitter. Please refer to your Transmitter Manual for proper operation. CAUTION: To prevent personal injury, DO NOT install the propeller assembly onto the motor shaft while binding the receiver to your transmitter and in all the testing steps until the manual tell you to do it . 3. Receiver connection diagram.
Test the electric device Install the receiver 2. Snap the clevis into the elevator surface 1. Slide the battery into the battery hatch control horn. with the power supply cable toward the rear end of the plane and secure it using 2 the pre installed hook and loop tape. Note: You may need to relocate the battery position to achieve the correct CG for your model. 1 Hook on the linkage rod of the stabilizer 3. The provided piece of fuel tubing keeps the clevis closed during flight.
Test the electric device 3. Adjust the linkage in the control connector to make sure the counterbalance leading edge of the elevator and the rudder level with the leading edge of the horizon stabilizer and the vertical fin respectively. Note: Use a drop of thread lock on the screw before secure the rod into place. 1.1 Elevator up/Stick Down 3.1 Elevator Elevator down/Stick up 1.2 Ruder left / Stick left Rudder 4.
Install the main wing Install the control rod 1. The standard hole settings for linkage connections are shown by the black arrows in the diagram below. You can refer the recommended control threw setting to move the linkage to different hole positions to increase control surface travel and increase the aerobatics of the airplane. Increase Decrease 3. Toggle switch the flaps channel knob according to which AUX port that the Y harness you have inserted into the receiver.
Install the main wing Test the retract and the LED set 1. Cycle the retractable main landing g ears several times to ensure proper f unction. 1 1 2. Make sure the navigation light on port side(L) wing tip emitting red beams, the starboard(R) is green. 2. Apply glue to the radiator where it fits with the main wing using the glue brush or any other applicator. 2 2 L R Install the auxiliary part 1. Fit one of the underwing radiator into pre notched slot under the main wing.
Install the main wing 4. Verify the completed cannon installation. 1.2 4 2. Glue the fairing back into place. 5. Glue the air scoop into place. 2.1 5 2.2 Mount the main wing 1. Install the main wing fairing fillet by fitting the proper one into place with no glue applied the first. 1.1 P.
Install the main wing Mount the main wing 1. Seat wing to the wing bay by threading the leads from the hole at the bottom of the wing bay to the receiver hatch, 1 2. Slightly pull the leads from the receiver hatch before fully fit the main wing into place to avoid any tangling to prevent the wing from fully mounting. 2 3. Check to make sure the main wing before secure it into place using the provided self tapping screws, two pieces PA 2.6*50 (A) to hold the wing front into place. The PA 2.
Get your model ready to fly Important ESC and model information 1. The ESC included with the Spitfire has a safe start. If the motor battery is connected to the ESC and the throttle stick is not in the low throttle or off position, the motor will not start until the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position. Once the throttle stick is moved to the low throttle or off position, the motor will emit a series of beeps.
Get your model ready to fly The transmitter and model setup Before getting started, rebind your receiver with your transmitter if necessary. CAUTION : To prevent personal injury, DO NOT install the propeller assembly onto the motor shaft while testing the control surfaces . Tips: Make sure all control sticks on your radio are in the neutral position (rudder, elevator, ailerons) and the throttle in the OFF position. Make sure both ailerons move up and down (travel) the same amount.
Get your model ready yo fly 2. Rec hec k to align the control surfaces well by trim the control channel. The ailerons align with the trailing edge of the wing tip. 2.1 2.2 Alierons Elevator 2.3 2.4 Rudder P.
Get your model ready to fly Check the control throws 1. Adjust ATV/travel adjustment on your transmitter until you obtain the following control surface travel. Do not adjust dual rates until you have correctly adjusted the total travel. Ailerons: 16mm up and down (both ailerons), measured at the aileron inboard side. Elevator: 14mm up and down, measured at the counterbalance leading edge. Rudder: 14mm left and right, measured at the counterbalance leading edge. Flaps: Full 25mm 2.
Get your model ready to fly Note: 1. This control throws were developed by R&D department for the best performance of the Spitfire. The small mount of elevator throw on low rate is capable of extreme aerobatics. 2. At first flight, fly the model in low rate. The first time you use high rates, be sure to fly at low to medium speeds. High rates, as listed, are only for EXTREME maneuvering. Only switch to high rate when the plane is flying at slow speed. Never fly at high speed at full air speed.
Get your model ready to fly 3. Install the spinner middle part. 1.2 3 4. Hand tighten the spinner and make sure it is tight enough and no gap left between the assembly. 4 Install the antenna mast 1. Glue the antenna mast into the pre notched hole on rear end of the fuselage with it incline toward the rudder side. 1.1 P.
Get your model ready to fly Check the C.G. (Center of Gravity) Center of Gravity When balancing your model, adjust the motor battery as necessary so the model is level or slightly nose down. This the correct balance point for your model. After the first flights, the CG position can be adjusted for your personal preference. 1. The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for your model is ( 70mm/2.8in) forward from the leading edge of the main wing (as shown) with the battery pack installed.
Before the model flying Find a suitable flying site Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be required and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields – a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best. Never fly near people– especially children who can wander unpredictably.
Flying course Take off While applying power slowly steer to keep the model straight, the model should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight speed, you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. The Spitfire will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA). Flying Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not flying at an approved site, always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Aircraft will not respond to the throttle but responds to other controls. - ESC is not armed. - Throttle channel is reversed. Extra propeller noise or extra Vibration. - Damaged spinner, propeller, - Replace damaged parts. motor, or motor mount. - Tighten parts for propeller - Loose propeller and spinner adapter, propeller and spinner. parts. - Propellor installed backwards. Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered. - Flight battery charge is low.
