BATTERY INSTALLATION
1. Push the spring-loaded battery latch tab back to release the battery hatch.
2. Press the battery to the battery tray and secure with the provided hook-and-loop strap. With the recommended battery, the front edge
align with the front edge of the battery hatch.
3. Reinstall the hatch, and conrm that the latch has positively engaged.
CAUTION
Always keep limbs clear from the propeller when the
battery is connected. After the ESC arms, the propeller
will rotate when the throttle is moved. Unlike an internal
combustion engine, electric motors apply more voltage
to counteract resistance, therefore any object that is
entangled in the propeller will be severely damaged
before the motor will stop
WARNING
When making adjustments to linkages, transmitter
settings, or the Aura 8 ight control system, remove
the propeller to guard against accidental spool up.
CENTER OF GRAVITY
The location of the center of gravity for the Mamba
10 is located 2 9/16-IN (65MM) AFT of the
LEADING EDGE of the BOTTOM WING and is
measured by lifting the completed airplane upright,
with all components installed, by the bottom wing.
This measurement was determined from many test
ights by designer and many time world aerobatic
champion, Quique Somenzini. Lift the airplane from
the underside of the wing to check the CG.
Setting the center of gravity is one of the most
important steps for success, particulary with a new
airplane. The Mamba is a high-performance airplane
with large control surface throws, and a high thrust to
weight ratio. These two factors combined make it a
very enjoyable aircraft to y, but if the center of
gravity is not within an acceptable range, it will make
the airplane dicult, if not impossible, to control.
NOTICE
The CG measurement should be made with
the completed airframe with all components
(
batteries, servos, receiver, linkages, screws,
bolts, hardware, etc.) installed. Failure to do
so will result in inaccurate measurement.
