EN The E-flite® Carbon-Z® Yak 54 3X ® ® ongratulations on your purchase of the E-flite Carbon-Z Yak 54 3X. Based on the groundbreaking original, the Carbon-Z Yak 54 3X is the next generation C Carbon-Z Yak 54 that offers better performance and is an even more ideal “next step” for pilots looking to develop 3D proficiency skills. The entire airframe features strength enhancements that increase durability and the ability to withstand aggressive 3D maneuvers better than ever.
EN AS3X System Horizon Hobby has always made RC sport, scale and unique aircraft with the kind of performance experts appreciate. First used in Blade® ultra micro flybarless helicopters, MEMS sensor technology within the Artificial Stability 3-axis (AS3X) System has been specifically tuned for airplanes to help invisibly correct for turbulence, torque and tip stalls. The outstanding control agility delivers an ultra smooth, locked-in feel that obeys your every command with performance that’s natural feeling.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding WARNING AGAINST COUNTERFEIT PRODUCTS: If you ever need to replace your Spektrum receiver found in a Horizon Hobby product, always purchase from Horizon Hobby, Inc. or a Horizon Hobby authorized dealer to ensure authentic high-quality Spektrum product. Horizon Hobby, Inc. disclaims all support and warranty with regards, but not limited to, compatibility and performance of counterfeit products or products claiming compatibility with DSM or Spektrum.
EN Battery Installation Battery Selection • We recommend the E-flite 2800mAh 14.8V 4S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB28004S30). Refer to the Optional Parts List for other E-flite batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage. Be sure the model balances at the recommended CG. 2 1 1.
EN Arming the ESC and Receiver Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below. AS3X The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.
EN Rudder Installation Required Adhesives: A Thin CA Assembly 1. Slide the rudder’s CA hinges (A) in the hinge slots (B) of the vertical tail. 2. Install the screw (C) in the rudder mount. 3. Rest the aircraft on its nose, holding the tail up so the thin CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) will flow into the slots. B 4. Bend the hinges by turning the rudder left, then carefully apply thin CA to each hinge in the right side of each slot. 5.
EN Landing Gear Installation 1. Install the landing gear (A) with the wheel pants pointed to the rear as shown. D 2 X 10mm (4) 2. Install the covers (B, marked L and R) on the strut and fuselage. C 3. Install the fairings (C, marked L and R) on the fuselage using 4 screws (D). When needed, disassemble in reverse order. Tip: Carefully support the aircraft while installing or removing screws. A B Horizontal Tail Installation 1.
EN Wing Installation 1. Slide the wing tube (A) into the fuselage. CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. 2. Install the left and right wing (B and C) over the wing tube and into the wing slot of the fuselage while inserting the aileron servo connectors through the provided holes. B D 3. Invert the fuselage so the landing gear is facing up. Secure the left and right wings to the fuselage using the included screws (D). 3 X 18mm (2) 4.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from the leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (EFLB28004S30) installed in the middle of the battery compartment. Tip: You can fly your aircraft inverted to confirm the CG is correct. The aircraft should fly level when flying inverted at ¾ throttle with little or no elevator down pressure.
EN Control Surface Centering IMPORTANT: Perform the Control Direction Test before performing control surface centering. Control Surface Centering and Adjusting a Linkage While AS3X is inactive (before advancing the throttle), mechanically center the control surfaces. IMPORTANT: Correct operation of the AS3X system requires sub-trim and trim at 0.
EN Transmitter Setup IMPORTANT: The AR635 receiver’s default setting in this aircraft is normal mode. We recommend that you do not change this setup. Refer to the receiver manual for more information. A programmable DSM2/DSMX six-channel (or better) transmitter with Dual Rates is required for flying this aircraft. The Spektrum™ DX6i, DX7s, DX8, DX9, DX10t, DX18 and JR® X9503, 11X or 12X transmitters may be used. Below are the recommended settings for Servo Travel.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Flying Field Always choose a wide-open space for flying your aircraft. 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. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields.
EN Power Component Service CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service. CAUTION: DO NOT handle the propeller, motor or ESC while the flight battery is connected to the ESC. Personal injury could result. Disassembly J 1. Disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service. I K 2. Remove the screw (A) and spinner (B) from the collet (G). 3. Remove the spinner nut (C), propeller (D), spinner backplate (E), backplate (F) and collet from the motor shaft.
EN AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code Effective January 1, 2011 A. GENERAL A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and any additional rules specific to the flying site. 1. Model aircraft will not be flown: (a) In a careless or reckless manner.
EN Troubleshooting Guide AS3X Problem Possible Cause Solution Flying over recommended airspeed Reduce air speed Damaged propeller or spinner Replace propeller or spinner Imbalanced propeller Balance the propeller. For more information, view John Redman’s propeller balancing video at www. horizonhobby.com Flight condition variations Adjust gain to current flight conditions (wind, updrafts, local conditions [elevation, humidity, temperature, etc.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Aircraft will not Bind (during binding) to transmitter Aircraft will not connect (after binding) to transmitter Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Motor power pulses then motor loses power 18 Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel
