EN Thank you for purchasing the E-flite® UMX™ MiG 15 DF. A breakthrough in ultra micro electric ducted fan technology, your new E-flite jet is an accurate replica of the original Mikoyan-Gurevich design. Using modern manufacturing techniques and sophisticated components, E-flite is able to produce your new scale RC swept-wing jet fighter fully assembled out of the box with proportional 4-channel control.
EN Preflight Checklist 1. Charge flight battery. 6. Set dual rates and exponential. 2. Install flight battery in aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 7. Adjust center of gravity. 3. Bind aircraft to transmitter. 8. Perform a radio system Range Check. 4. Make sure linkages move freely. 9. Find a safe and open area. 5. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter. 10. Plan flight for flying field conditions.
EN Charging the Battery Your aircraft comes with a 2-Cell 7.4V 200mAh 25C Li-Po battery and a Celectra™ 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po Charger that requires a 12V (11V–14V) DC power source. Refer to the battery warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps. Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional battery adapters. 2S 7.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen SpektrumTM DSM2®/ DSMX® technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Any JR® or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the AS3X DSM® receiver.
EN Arming the ESC Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below. 1 Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. Power on the Transmitter then wait 5 seconds 2 3 Install flight battery and connect it to the ESC. Keep plane immobile and away from wind for 5 seconds.
EN Control Centering Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the flight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of linear servos. 1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. The transmitter sub-trim must always be set to zero. 2.
EN To obtain the best flight performance, we recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of Dual Rates. The suggested settings shown here are the recommended starting settings. Adjust according to the individual preferences after the initial flight. If using the DX4e or DX5e transmitters, we recommend activating Expo for smoother control. For activation and deactivation of Expo in the DX4e and DX5e, see the next section. NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust over 100%.
EN Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is 58mm back from leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the included 2S 200mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery. The battery tray is oversized to allow for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery near the rear edge of the battery tray with the connector plug facing the front of the aircraft. Adjust as needed by sliding the battery forward or back. 58mm Installing the Optional Landing Gear 1.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Range Check your Radio System After final assembly, range check the radio system with the aircraft. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. Flying We recommend flying your E-flite® UMX™ MiG 15 DF outside in no greater than moderate winds or inside in a large gymnasium. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings.
EN Installing Optional Cannons 1. Install the cannons in the nose of your aircraft as shown. Use the sharp end of the cannons to make a hole in the foam of each location. The cannons can be glued in or flown with just a friction fit. Tip: These cannon are for scale appearance. Installing them on your aircraft when belly landing may hinder safe and smooth landing and/or damage the aircraft.
EN Service of Power Components Disassembly CAUTION: DO NOT handle the rotor or motor while the flight battery is connected. Personal injury could result. 1. The canopy hatch is secured to the fuselage using double-sided tape under the outside edge. Carefully remove the canopy hatch, the screw (A) and nose gear arm (B); replacing the double-sided tape as needed. A B NOTICE: Removing tape or decals can damage paint on your aircraft.
