EN Transmitter Setup Dual Rates To obtain the best flight performance, we recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of adjustable Dual Rates. The suggested settings shown here are the recommended starting settings. Adjust according to the individual preferences after the initial flight. NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust over 100%. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over 100%, it will not result in more control movement, it will overdrive the servo and cause damage.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www. bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
EN Flight Battery Installation and Receiver Arming Arming the receiver also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the following steps. It is normal for linear servos to make noise. Noise is not an indication of a faulty servo. 1 Power ON the transmitter, then wait 5 seconds. CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) Adjustment The CG location is 36mm back from the leading edge at the wing root. This CG location has been determined with the recommended 1S 150mAh 3.7 Li-Po battery installed in the battery cavity located on the bottom of the aircraft. Balance the model on edge of a metal ruler to find the Center of Gravity. Place the ruler on the underside of the airframe at the CG location shown in the image to the right.
EN Control Centering Before the first flights, or in the event of an crash, make sure the flight control surfaces are centered when the transmitter controls and trims are neutral. The transmitter sub-trim must be set to zero. 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. Make the U-shape narrower to make the connector shorter.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm conditions. 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. For additional tips on flying, refer to the product page at horizonhobby.com. causing one side of the airplane to rise, rather than the entire airplane.
EN Post Flight Checklist 9 9 1. Disconnect the flight battery from the receiver (Required for safety and battery life). 2. Power OFF the transmitter. 3. Remove the flight battery from the aircraft. 4. Recharge the flight battery. 5. Store the flight battery apart from the aircraft and monitor the battery charge. 6. Make note of the flight conditions and flight plan results, planning for future flights.
