PNP Receiver Selection and Installation

Flexing the Flap Hinges

To ensure the ﬂ aps have full travel without binding at the hinges, the hinge material needs

to be loosened up by ﬂ exing the material by hand.

1. With the receiver powered off, carefully ﬂ ex the ﬂ ap down by hand until resistance is felt.

2. Repeat this process 5 or 6 times, until the hinge material loosens and the ﬂ ap 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 ﬂ ap travel have been

updated to the following:

Half ﬂ ap (takeoff): 15mm

Full ﬂ ap (landing): 45mm

Conﬁ rm these values by measuring the inboard end of the ﬂ ap 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 AR636.

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.

AR636 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

and SAFE

technology setups.

CAUTION: Incorrect installation of the receiver could cause a crash.
