Micro Tundra Micro Tundra (Green Version) (Grafitti Version) SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Your Durafly Micro Tundra PNF should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the Micro Tundra PNF, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property.
The Micro Tundra continues the lineage of the Tundra and Grand Tundra series of Durafly aircraft. It is available in 2 color schemes, either the "Classic Green" or the slightly more outrageous and colorful "Graffiti". Both look good and can be flown with either a standard wheel U/C or with floats and water rudder, both versions are supplied in the box. Its small size makes it perfect for "Back Yard Bush" flying.
Use a sharp modelling knife to carefully cut through the plastic. Ensure you leave a slight notch at the top as shown so that the locator on the front of the wing cannot move side to side when the wing is in position. 1 Plug the servo and ESC connectors into the receiver, be careful to plug the connectors in correctly. Secure the receiver to the inside of fuselage with either hook and loop or double-sided tape.
Insert the main landing gear into the slot marked "C" at the front of the fuselage. Squeeze the U/C legs together slightly and fit one side of the top into the slot, then push the other side in until it is fully home. 3 Insert the tailwheel assembly into the socket in the bottom of the rudder. Be careful as this is quite a tight fit, support the rudder with one hand whilst pushing the tailwheel into the slot with the other.
6 If you wish to fly this model off of water at anytime then remove the main landing gear. The floats use 2 slightly shorter attachment wires and one goes in point "C" at the front and the other at point "D" towards the rear. The floats then just slot onto the bottom of these wires. You will then need to remove the tailwheel in the rudder and replace this with the water rudder. 7 Once you have determined the position of your battery under the front hatch secure with hook and loop tape.
SUGGESTED CONTROL THROWS: These are a good place to start for initial flights, once you have flown the Micro Tundra a few times you can adjust as necessary to suit your own flying style. Control throws: __ _ *Elevator 'low rates' 8mm 'high rates' 10-12mm in either direction from neutral. *Rudder 'low rates' 6mm 'high rates' 10-15mm in either direction from neutral. *Aileron 'low rates' 6mm 'high rates' 8-10mm in either direction from neutral.
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 area's with roads, electric/telephone poles/wires and water near by or within close proximity to full size air traffic. • Do not fly this model in poor weather. High winds, low visibility, inclement temperatures, rain and storms are to be avoided. • Never attempt to catch this model whilst in flight.
FLYING THE MICRO TUNDRA The Micro Tundra is relatively straightforward to fly for pilots with a bit of experience. After you have completed your pre-flight checks and completed a range check either place it on the ground facing into wind or get ready to hand launch. If taking off from the ground hold in a small amount of up elevator and smoothly open the throttle to full, ensure you keep the model straight by using the rudder to steer. The Micro Tundra will very quickly leave the ground and start climbing.
