ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED TTX404 TRANSMITTER Radio Control System The AcroWot MKII Tx-R™ (Transmitter Ready™) comes with the servos and receiver installed, so all that is required is a 4-channel transmitter. The Tactic™ TTX404 2.4GHz spread spectrum 4-channel transmitter (TACJ2404) is included with the RTF (ready to fly) version of the AcroWot, so this same radio system is ideal for your Tx-R version, too. ❍ Tactic TTX404 2.

WARNING!! It’s not recommended to charge batteries at greater than 1 amp through this charge jack. Fast charging of NiCd and NiMH batteries should ONLY be done with chargers that are specifically designed to include the peak-detection function which can automatically stop charge when full charge is detected.

of acceptable quality, or if you need assistance with assembly, contact Product Support. When reporting defective or missing parts, use the part names exactly as they are written in the Kit Contents list. BIND THE RECEIVER TO THE Tx For proper operation it’s necessary to “bind” the Tx and Rx together electronically. This ensures sole communication between the two, and prevents other transmitters from being able to control the receiver.

● Remember to check the temperature of the battery during the charge. The battery should not get hot. If it does, unplug the battery from the charger. ● Charge the battery at a maximum charge rate of 1.8 amps. A higher charge rate will cause the battery to get hot. ● Never place the battery on combustible material or leave it unattended while charging. ● Never charge the battery in the plane. ● We recommend that a balancing charger be used to charge the battery.

❏ 6. Install the rudder control horn onto the rudder using two 2x8mm self-tapping screws and the rudder control horn backplate. Note that the control horn captures the tail wheel tiller wire in the rudder. ❏ 9. Loosen the screws in the elevator and rudder servo arms. Temporarily power the receiver by turning on your transmitter (if you are using the AnyLink adapter, refer to the AnyLink manual for additional instructions) and connecting the flight battery to the ESC in the battery compartment.

❏ 10. Connect the Y-harness attached to the aileron servo leads to the receiver. Fit the wing in place on the fuselage and secure it using a 4x12mm machine screw. ❏ 12. Fit the spinner backplate onto the prop adapter shaft followed by the propeller, prop washer, and prop nut. Thoroughly tighten the nut onto the shaft. Install the spinner cone onto the backplate with the included screws. ❏ 11.

Set the Control Throws This is where your model should balance for the first flights. Later, you may experiment by shifting the C.G. 3/8” [10mm] forward or 3/8” [10mm] back to change the flying characteristics. Moving the C.G. forward will improve the smoothness and stability, but the model will then be less aerobatic (which may be fine for less-experienced pilots). Moving the C.G. aft makes the model more maneuverable and aerobatic for experienced pilots.
PAGE 11
If planning a “dead-stick,” circle your AcroWot upwind of the landing area until the motor quits and note the run time. When you learn how much flight time you are getting you can adjust your timer accordingly. Always be conservative so the motor won’t quit unexpectedly and you will have enough battery to land under power. CHOOSE A GOOD FLYING SITE If the wind is calm or very light, the AcroWot MKII will be docile and easy to control. We do not recommend flying in winds greater than 10mph [16km/h].
