EN Thank you for purchasing the E-flite® A6M5 Zero 300 BNF-Basic. E-flite has captured the character of the infamous Japanese WWII fighter in a fun-to-fly RC warbird modeled after Zeros stationed at the Genzan Air Base in Korea in 1945. Molded in a smooth and durable foam material, its outline, detail and markings have been faithfully duplicated and very few design liberties were taken to achieve excellent flight performance.
EN Preflight Checklist 9 1. Charge flight battery. 2. Install flight battery in aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 3. Bind aircraft to transmitter. 4. Make sure linkages move freely. 5. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter. 6. Adjust center of gravity. 7. Perform a radio system Range Check. 8. Find a safe and open area. 9. Plan flight for flying field conditions. Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge.
EN Installing the Flight Battery 1. Remove the canopy by gripping near the rear and pulling up, then back to disengage the canopy’s front tab from the fuselage. 2. Place the flight battery in the battery compartment. Slide the battery into the battery cavity (A) towards the front of the fuselage. See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for the battery’s position. 3. Connect the fully charged flight battery to the ESC connector.
EN Installing the Wing 1. Turn over the model so the bottom of the fuselage faces up. 2. Carefully install the micro connector of the aileron servo (A) into the AIL port of the receiver (B). R GY E RECEIVE TECHNOLO NANOLIT z DSM® 2048 2.4GH BIND NOTICE: When disconnecting the servo connectors, do not pull on the servo wires. Use a screwdriver or pliers to break the friction fit of the servo connectors. Failure to do so could result in damage to the servo wiring. ELE RUD THR B 3.
EN Control Centering Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the flight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the control surfaces are not centered. 1. Make sure the transmitter sub-trims are set to zero and the servo arms are perpendicular to the servo case. 2. When an adjustment of linkages is needed, pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage. 3. Carefully spread the clevis and adjust the length of the linkage by screwing the clevis in or out.
EN Dual Rates and Expos We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual rates. The settings below are recommended starting settings. Adjust according to individual preferences after the initial flight.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Flying We recommend flying your E-flite® A6M5 Zero outside in no greater than moderate winds or inside in a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
EN Post Flight Checklist 9 9 1. Disconnect flight battery from ESC (Required for safety and battery life). 2. Power off transmitter. 3. Remove flight battery from aircraft. 4. Recharge flight battery. 5. Store flight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery charge. 6. Make note of flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights. Using the Display Stand Tip: Glue is not required for the assembly of the display, but may be used if the display will not be disassembled.
EN Service of Power Components Disassembly CAUTION: Always disconnect the battery before handling or adjusting the propeller or motor. Failure to do so could result in personal injury. A Propeller 1. Remove the spinner (A) from the propeller (B). Before re-installing the spinner on the propeller, scrape off as much excess glue as possible, making sure not to damage the propeller blades or hub. Never operate the aircraft with a damaged propeller. B F 2.
