EN Preflight 1. Remove and inspect contents. 9. Make sure linkages move freely. 2. Read this instruction manual thoroughly. 10. Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. 3. Charge the flight battery. 11. Perform the stability system control direction test with the aircraft. 4. Setup transmitter using transmitter setup chart. 12. Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 5. Fully assemble the airplane. 13. Perform a radio system range test. 6.
EN Installing the DXe Transmitter Batteries (RTF) The LED indicator flashes and the transmitter beeps progressively faster as the battery voltage drops. Replace the transmitter batteries when the transmitter begins to beep.
EN BNF Transmitter Setup The X-VERT™ aircraft requires a transmitter with a minimum of 6 channels with one 3-position switch and one momentary switch available. Flight Modes are controlled by channel 5 (GEAR). Motor arming/disarming is controlled by channel 6 (AUX 1). IMPORTANT: After you set up your model, always rebind the transmitter and receiver to set the desired failsafe positions.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding The transmitter included with the RTF version of this aircraft is pre-bound to the receiver at the factory. If for any reason it becomes necessary to re-bind the transmitter to the receiver, follow the binding procedure in the table. The BNF version of this product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is within 126-136mm (measured forward from the trailing edge of the wing). CAUTION: Failure to confirm the correct center of gravity may cause a loss of control and a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty. 126-136mm from the trailing edge Control Horn and Servo Arm Settings The table at the right shows the factory settings for the elevon control horns and servo arms. Do not make changes to the elevon linkages.
EN Stability System Reaction Test This test ensures that the flight control system is reacting properly to external forces, such as wind. Assemble the aircraft and bind your transmitter to the receiver before performing this test. Aircraft Movement Control Surface Reaction (viewed from the rear) CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from the propellers at all times, as these items could become entangled. Set the transmitter flight mode switch to stability mode (position 1).
EN Understanding the Primary Flight Controls The X-VERT aircraft is capable of both vertical, multirotor-style flight and forward, airplane-style flight. It is important to understand how the primary flight controls function and how the aircraft reacts in both flight modes. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the controls prior to attempting your first flight.

EN Flying Your Aircraft Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. NOTICE: While the aircraft is capable of forward flight in light to moderate winds, we recommend using multirotor mode only in very light wind or calm conditions. Using multirotor mode or transitioning from forward flight to multirotor mode in windy conditions will cause the aircraft to be blown downwind and could cause a loss of control or a crash. Use only the forward flight modes for flying in windy conditions.
EN After landing disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate the throttle cut to immediately stop the motors to reduce the possibility of damage to the airframe and electronic components. NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
EN FPV System Installation (Optional) If you are operating this product in North America, you are required to have an Amateur Radio (HAM) license. Visit www.arrl.org for more information. a Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment. In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner.
EN Operating the FPV Mount The FPV camera mount does not require any programming or additional channels in the transmitter. All functions are controlled by the flight control board on the aircraft. Changing between the flight modes with the flight mode switch moves the camera to one of two preset positions. • While in multirotor mode the camera faces toward the bottom of the aircraft. This allows for a forward view while flying in multirotor mode.
