EN Box Contents Quick Start Information Transmitter Setup Dual Rates Set up your transmitter using the transmitter setup chart Hi Rate Low Rate Ail 20mm 15mm Ele 22mm 17mm 15mm Center of Gravity (CG) 140mm forward from the firewall.
EN SAFE® Select Technology (BNF only) The evolutionary SAFE® Select technology can offer an extra level of protection so you can perform the first flight with confidence. No complex transmitter programming is required. Just follow the simple bind process to make the SAFE Select system active. When activated, bank and pitch limitations keep you from over-controlling and automatic self-leveling makes recovery from risky or confusing attitudes as simple as releasing the sticks.
EN Model Assembly Installing the Wings 1. Insert the wing rods into the fuselage. 2. Slide the wings onto the wing rods and push the wing into position until the clips snap into place. Vertical Tail Installation Insert the vertical stabilizers into position and press down, ensuring they click into position.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding / Switching ON and OFF SAFE Select (BNF only) This product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of approved transmitters. Switching ON SAFE Select Binding Sequence The aircraft has an optional SAFE Select feature, which can be switched ON or OFF easily by binding in a specific manner as described below.
EN Receiver Selection and Installation (PNP only) The Spektrum AR636 receiver is recommended for ths airplane. If you choose to install another receiver, ensure that it is at least a 6-channel full range (sport) receiver. Refer to your receiver manual for correct installation and operation instructions. CAUTION: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions.
EN Final Setup Control Surface Centering After assembly and transmitter setup, confirm that the control surfaces are centered. If the control surfaces are not centered, mechanically center the control surfaces by adjusting the linkages. If adjustment is required, turn the ball link on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is measured from firewall forward. This CG location has been determined with the recommended Li-Po battery (EFLB22003S300). 67mm Control Direction Test 1. Place the aircraft into a mode without SAFE® technology. 2. Face the aircraft away from you. 3. Move the sticks on the transmitter and ensure the aircraft responds as shown.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location. Range Check your Radio System Before flying, range check the radio system. Refer to the instruction manual included with the transmitter for range test information. Oscillation Once the AS3X system is active (after advancing the throttle for the first time), you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.
EN Operation on 4S LiPo Batteries (optional) The F-27 Evolution™ aircraft can be flown out of the box on 3S and is capable of handling 4S batteries on the included speed controller, motor and propeller combination, but the LVC setting in the ESC comes with a cutoff for a 3S battery. For 4S operation, the ESC LVC settings should be changed to a 4S LVC setting or 74% cutoff. When power is applied to the ESC, it causes the motor to make a tone, indicating the current LVC settings.
EN Motor Service CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery before performing motor service. Disassembly 1. Remove the prop nut and then remove the propeller and prop adaptor from the motor shaft. 2. Remove the 4 screws (A), the motor, and X-mount from the fuselage. 3. Disconnect the motor wires from the ESC wires. 4. Remove the 4 screws (B) and motor from the X-mount. B Assembly 5. Assemble in reverse order. • Correctly align and connect the motor wire colors with the ESC wires.
