EN Thank you for purchasing the E-flite® UMX™ Sbach® 342. Its 2S Li-Po, 2500Kv brushless power system is one of the most powerful ever developed for an aircraft this small. The phenomenal power-to-weight ratio it delivers is a big reason the UMX Sbach 342 flies more like a larger scale precision aerobatic plane than a typical Ultra Micro. The exceptional capabilities of the UMX Sbach 342 require a little more first-flight preparation than you may be used to with other Bind-N-Fly® Ultra Micro aircraft.
EN Charging the Battery Your Sbach 342 comes with a Celectra™ 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po Charger and 2-Cell 7.4V 180 mAh 20C LiPo battery. Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional battery adapters. Refer to 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. 2S 7.4V 180mAh 20C Lithium Polymer Battery The Battery Charging Process 1.
EN Battery Warnings The Battery Charger (EFLUC1007) included with the Sbach 342 has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery. CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a fire, personal injury, and/or property damage. • By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries. • If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately.
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 TM technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Note: Any JR® or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the Spektrum AR6400NBL receiver.
EN Before Flight 1 Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. 2 Power on Transmitter 3 Connect flight battery and attach to hook and loop strip. Wait 5 Seconds Series of tones Continuous LED CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement. When the aircraft does not respond, binding may be required. If throttle is fully raised when battery is connected, a musical tone will sound after 5 seconds.
EN Settings for Control Horns The Illustrations show linkage positions chosen for the most balanced aerobatic response. Linkage connections on control horns directly affect aircraft response. Aileron Elevator Rudder When these are incorrectly connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected aircraft response to controls can result. This can cause damage to the aircraft and personal injury.
EN Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is 29mm back from leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the included 2S 180mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery installed in the front of the battery cavity. Note: The oversized battery tray allows for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery at the rear edge of the battery tray with the plug facing the rear of the aircraft. Adjust as needed by sliding the battery back or forward.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Flying We recommend only flying your Sbach 342 in light winds. 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. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
EN Service of Power Components Disassembly CAUTION: DO NOT handle propeller parts while the flight battery is connected. Personal injury could result. Propeller 1. Remove battery hatch by gripping the front of hatch, then pulling it up and away from the fuselage. A B 2. Remove spinner (A) from the propeller (B). Note: Since the propeller and spinner are glued together, glue residue will need to be cleaned from the spinner or propeller when these parts are used again. D C 3.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Possible Cause Throttle stick and/or throttle trim too high Solution Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle channel is reversed Reverse throttle channel on transmitter Motor disconnected from receiver Open fuselage and make sure motor is connected to the receiver Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Damaged propeller, spinner or motor Replace damaged pa
