EN Transmitter Setup IMPORTANT: Transmitter features, functions and settings not listed in the transmitter setup table should remain at the default settings. These transmitter tables show the basic steps needed to complete setup. For more detailed transmitter setup information please refer to your transmitter’s manual. We recommend using the transmitter setup provided.
EN Battery Installation and ESC Arming Battery Selection A 4S 2200mAh LiPo battery is required. The Spektrum 2200mAh 14.8V 4S 30C LiPo battery (SPMX22004S30) is recommended. Refer to the Optional Parts List for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the Spektrum Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG before flying. 1.
EN SAFE® Select Technology When SAFE Select is activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from overcontrolling the aircraft. Additionally, by releasing the controls in the event you lose orientation, SAFE Select will keep the aircraft level. To activate SAFE Select, flip the Gear channel switch (Switch A) to position 0. Return the Gear switch to position 1 to turn OFF SAFE Select and fly with just the assistance of AS3X® technology.
EN AS3X Control Response Test This test ensures that the AS3X control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test. 1. Raise the throttle to any setting above 25%, then lower the throttle to activate AS3X technology. Roll 2. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft.
EN Dual Rates and Control Throws Program your transmitter to set the rates and control throws based on your experience level. These values have been tested and are a good starting point to achieve a successful first flight. After flying, you may choose to adjust the values for the desired control response. Aileron Elevator Low Rate 13mm 10mm High Rate 20mm 15mm Taileron Control Throw Measurement Measure the control throw for the taileron at the leading edge along the fuselage.
EN Hand Launching Hand Launching NOTICE: Hand Launching in AS3X mode is not recommended as it may result in a crash. Always hand launch in SAFE mode. • We recommend flying without landing gear when hand launching. • Always hand launch in SAFE mode, into the wind with wings forward (not swept), at 100% power, in high rates. When hand launching in SAFE mode, the control unit will immediately sense the force of the launch and will automatically enable the Hand Launch Assist Mode.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. The E-flite F-14 Tomcat is relatively small and is capable of high speeds, making it capable of covering ground quickly. We recommend flying at designated RC fields. We recommend pilots have some experience flying high-performance EDF aircraft before flying this model. This aircraft is not recommended as your first ducted fan model. Getting Started Before you fly, range check the radio system.
EN Post Flight 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the ESC (required for safety and battery life). 2. Power OFF the transmitter. 3. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft. 4. Recharge the flight battery to storage voltage level. 5. Repair or replace all damaged parts. 6. Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge. 7. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
EN Replacing a Wing To replace the wing(s): 1. Remove the bottom fuselage cover from the bottom of the aircraft. 2. Use a magnetized screwdriver to remove the four screws from the bottom of the aircraft that hold the top fuselage cover. 3. Lift at the rear of the top fuselage cover and pull rearward to disengage the clips at the front of the cover, then remove the cover. 4. Power your transmitter and the aircraft ON and move the wing swing mechanism to the wings fully out position. 5.
EN Power System Installation and Service CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service. The recommended power system components are given in the Specifications table at the beginning of this manual. 1. Use a fresh hobby knife to cut along the glue seam for the lower rear fan ducting to reveal the ducted fan unit. 2. The fan unit is glued in place, remove it by gently twisting the fan enclosure. 3. Repair or replace the fan parts as necessary. 4.
EN Flight Controller Wiring All the functions of this aircraft are handled in the flight controller. If you need to remove the flight controller it needs to be reinstalled in the same orientation as originally mounted. The servo connectors should be at the rear of the receiver, facing down. Reference the following diagram for servo and motor connections.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Excessive fan noise or excessive vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Throttle channel is reversed Motor disconnected from ESC Damaged fan, nose cone, collet or motor Fan is out of balance Fan screw is loose Flight battery charge is low Flight battery damaged Flight conditions may b
