ADVANCED MAMBA 10 SETUP
The design characteristics of a biplane lend themselves well to advanced aerobatic setup with some congurations and maneuvers that are
simply not possible with a monoplane. While the Mamba 10 is optimized in every way to ensure maximum performance in the stock
conguration, presented here are several pre-congured upgrades for the advanced yer that will help elevate the performance and
enjoyment of the Mamba 10 to the next level!
Optional 4S Motor Setup
For yers wanting more power or dierent ying style, we have developed a plug-and-play 4S power system solution for the Mamba 10
utilizing a custom-modied 1070Kv version of the Potenza 10 motor installed in the stock Mamba 10. In the interest of convenience and
simplicity, the existing 50A ESC and propeller are used in the upgraded power system, only the motor and battery are dierent.
Required Parts and Accessories: FPZM1010D Potenza 10 1070Kv Motor
FPZB22004S40 4S 2200mAh 40C LiPo Battery
Required Tools: #1 Phillips Screwdriver, #2 Phillips Screwdriver, 13mm Box Wrench
1. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to remove the spinner cone and a 13mm box wrench to loosen the prop nut. Remove the entire propeller
and collet assembly from the motor and set it aside as they will be reused.
2. Use a #1 Phillips screwdriver to remove the motor mounting screws from the rewall. Place the screws aside as they will be reused.
3. Unplug the stock motor from the ESC, noting the color of the wires. Match the color of the wires of the 4S motor when reconnecting.
4. Using the screws removed in step 2, attach the motor back to the rewall with a #1 Phillips screwdriver. Ensure screws are tight.
5. Reinstall the prop collet and spinner.
Advanced Mamba 10 Aura 8 Conguration
Expert Flight Modes
The Aura 8 installed in the Mamba 10 is equipped with two possible Aura Congurations — Stock and Expert. These may be accessed
WITHOUT THE USE OF A WINDOWS-BASED PC OR TABLET by using the Aura Quick Set feature. The “Expert” version oers three ight
modes: High Speed 3D, Sport, and Slow Speed 3D.

Crow
The Mamba 10 is the only PNP 3D foam biplane on the market in this size with four individual aileron servos instead of two servos with
interconnect linkages. This exibilty, usually only found in larger biplanes, allows the Mamba 10 to take advantage of several key aileron
setups, primarily the “world famous QQ biplane crow”. Crow is used to slowing downlines and helping make amazing short-eld landings
and is accomplished by simultaneously raising both upper ailerons and lowering both bottom ailerons to increase drag.
In the past, this has required a very advanced transmitter with complex programming , but with the Aura 8, it is as simple as creating and
uploading a new Aura Cong File before heading to the ying eld - no hours of setup and trimming with a complex, expensive transmitter
required!
Visit http://wiki.exinnovations.com/wiki/Mamba10/Crow for instructions how to easily create the Crow conguration in the Aura Cong
Tool and adjust the Aura Servo connections. Please note that a windows-based PC or tablet will be required to upload this le to the Aura 8.

Flight Mode 1 - High Speed 3D
For high speed ying (full throttle) at
high rate. Ideal for tumbling and
high energy aerobatics.
Rate for aileron is 70% while rudder and
elevator travelling at max deection.
Gain are set low and expo are set high.
Flight Mode 3 - Slow Speed 3D
Ideal for harriers, torque rolls, hovering,
waterfalls, at spins, etc.
Rate in all control surface at max.
Gains are set high.
Note: This mode should not be used to y
the airplane at high speed. Control
surface oscillation might occur if
the airplane is own at high speed
in this mode.
Flight Mode 2 - Sport
For sport or precision aerobatics.
Rates are low, expo adjusted for smooth ight.
Gains are set low.
NOTICE
The "Expert" ight modes cannot be congured by Quick Set when using PWM Servo Connections to Aura.
NOTE: The APC 12x4.5MR propeller is also a great
choice with this 4S motor and battery combination.
CAUTION
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO USE A 4S BATTERY
WITH THE STOCK 1400KV 3S MOTOR!
