Flaps
PNP Receiver Selection and Installation
Flexing the Flap Hinges
To ensure the flaps have full travel without binding at the hinges, the hinge material needs
to be loosened up by flexing the material by hand.
1. With the receiver powered off, carefully flex the flap down by hand until resistance is felt.
2. Repeat this process 5 or 6 times, until the hinge material loosens and the flap moves without
resitance to a minimum of 45mm measured at the inboard end as shown.
3. Repeat the above steps on the other wing.
Flap Travel Settings
After further testing, the original values given in the manual for flap travel have been
updated to the following:
Half flap (takeoff): 15mm
Full flap (landing): 45mm
Confirm these values by measuring the inboard end of the flap as illustrated at right.
These settings improve lift and create less drag during takeoff and offer increased elevator
authority during landing.
The recommended receiver for this aircraft is the Spektrum AR631.
If you choose to install a different receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel
full range (sport) receiver. Refer to the manual of your chosen receiver for correct
installation and operation instructions.
AR631 Installation
1. Slide the canopy latch back and lift the back of the canopy to remove the
canopy from the fuselage.
2. Attach the appropriate control surfaces to the their respective ports on the
receiver using the table at the right.
3. Using double-sided servo tape, mount the receiver as far back in the battery
compartment as possible. The receiver should be mounted parallel to the
length of the fuselage, with the label facing up and the servo ports facing the
rear of the aircraft, as shown. The orientation of the receiver is critical for all
