INTRODUCTION The Hadron has something for everybody—in addition to the crazy “party tricks” including flat spins that are ridiculously fast and astonishingly flat, the Hadron can also be flown pedal-to-the-metal like a pylon racer, or slow-and-easy like a park flyer.

ASSEMBLY Program Your Transmitter 1. Remove the turtledeck and set aside. Rudder servo arm rotates counterclockwise Motor rotates right Motor turns clockwise Left elevon down Both elevons up Right elevon up 2. Connect the servos and ESC to your receiver and power up the system with a battery so you can operate the servos and motor (if not done so already, this may also require linking the receiver to your transmitter).
PAGE 4
NO NO YES 90° 3. Still with the radio system powered up, check that the pushrod hole in the vectoring servo wheel is 90° to the servo (this may require removing and rotating the servo wheel to find another hole for the pushrod). If necessary, also adjust the V-bend in the vectoring pushrod so the motor will be centered. Reinstall the screw for the vectoring servo wheel. 4. Also if necessary, adjust the clevises on the elevon pushrods so the elevons will be centered. 5.
PAGE 5
7. When all of the controls are hooked up and working properly, mount the receiver with the included adhesive-back hook & loop material. 8. The pushrods are connected to achieve the correct high-rate control throws with the end points in your transmitter set to 100%. You could measure and check the throws (provided on page 12), or simply program your low-rates to 60% and the throws will be close enough for you to fine tune from there.

7-3/4" [195mm] 7" [180mm] 4S strap 3S strap Mount the battery using the included adhesive-back hook-and-loop material and the hook-and-loop straps cut to the length shown. With the ElectriFly 3S or 4S 2200mAh 30C batteries (or other batteries similar in weight) mounted where shown, the Hadron will balance within the recommended C.G. range. If using a heavier or lighter battery, first determine where the battery must be positioned to get the Hadron to balance within the range specified on page 12.
PAGE 7
Optional: Install the Canopy Hook Bold pilots who have the courage to flat-spin the Hadron suddenly and violently are advised to install the optional canopy hook for additional canopy security. Pilots who fly the Hadron “normally” (performing traditional aerobatics and speed flying) need not install the hook. 1. Cut the sharp edges off the opening of the rubber band hook, then glue the hook to the base with CA. 2. Use medium-grit sandpaper to roughen the inside of the canopy where the hook is to be glued.
PAGE 8
Mount the Propeller It’s not essential to balance the propeller, but to extract the highest degree of performance possible out of your motor, use a precision propeller balancer to balance your propeller. If you feel or hear excess vibration, stop the motor immediately and examine the propeller. Balance if necessary, or exchange the propeller for a new one. 1. Use the 6.0 x 5.0 propeller for a 3S battery. Use the 5.0 x 5.0 propeller for a 4S battery. 2.
PAGE 9
FLYING Before flying your Hadron be certain to follow all of the instructions accompanying your radio control system for charging the transmitter batteries and performing a range check. Also be certain to periodically inspect the hook-and-loop straps retaining the battery to make sure they hold securely. Replace the straps with new material as necessary. Frequently inspect the motor wires for signs of wear or chafing. If necessary, protect the wires with additional shrink tubing or suitable tape.

Flight Basics Until you get some experience with your Hadron and really develop a feel for how it reacts to rudder input, realize that the Hadron exhibits considerable negative pitch coupling and positive roll coupling to large amounts of rudder—when you give right rudder the Hadron rolls right and pitches down (and vice-versa).

C.G. (Center of Gravity) If using batteries different than those recommended in this instruction manual be certain to balance your Hadron as follows: 4th Mark 6th Mark While checking the C.G. the Hadron must be in ready-to-fly condition with all components installed including the receiver and propeller. There are nine C.G marks molded into the top of the fuselage on both sides of the turtledeck. Counting backward from the first mark at the front, the recommended C.G.

ESC PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS I. Throttle Calibration: 1. Remove the propeller. 2. If using a computer radio, set end points for throttle channel to 100% and trims and sub trim to 0. 3. Turn on the transmitter. Advance throttle stick. 4. Connect battery to ESC. Hear three tones… “ 1 2 3” followed by two short beeps…”beep beep.” 5. Lower throttle stick all the way. Hear short beeps (3 beeps for 3S or 4 beeps for 4S), followed by one longer beep. 6. Throttle is calibrated. Disconnect battery. II.
PAGE 14
2. After the sequence of beeps representing the desired function, lower the throttle stick to enter the programming mode for that function. The ESC will beep as indicated below waiting for your command to change the setting: Advance the throttle after number of beeps (one beep, two beeps, three beeps) indicating the new setting. Hear the tones (“ 1 2 1 2”) indicating the value has been set and saved.

REPAIRS AeroCell foam is easily reparable. Pliable glue such as canopy glue is the very best, but requires tape to hold the parts together while the glue dries overnight. CA is usually the go-to adhesive for repairing AeroCell and with a little CA accelerator the repair will be complete in minutes. For a seamless repair excess CA may be removed from the surfaces with CA debonder (debonder will affect the decals and paint).

PROTECT YOUR MODEL, YOURSELF & OTHERS... FOLLOW THESE IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS 1. Your Hadron should not be considered a toy, but rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance capabilities, the Hadron, if not assembled and operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or spectators and damage to property. 2. You must assemble the Hadron according to the instructions.
