Conscendo™ S EN Assembly Installing the Tail 2 B 1 1. Slide the horizontal stabilizer tube (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage. 2. Install the 2 piece (left and right) horizontal stabilizer as shown. Ensure the control horn faces down. 3. Secure the 2 piece tail in place with the 2 included pieces of tape (B). Install a piece of tape on the top and bottom of each horizontal tail section as shown.
Conscendo™ S EN Wing Installation continued 1 1. Align the 4 wing bracket pins with the with the 4 corresponding fuselage holes as shown. 2. As you align the wing, guide the aileron servo wires through the hole leading to the receiver compartment on the underside of the fuselage. 3. Use 4 screws to secure the wing assembly to the fuselage as shown. 4. Open the receiver hatch by removing the screw. 2 5. Connect the left and right aileron servos to the preinstalled Y-harness.
Conscendo™ S EN Control horn and servo arm settings The illustration shows recommended hole settings in the servo arms and control horns. Ailerons Rudder Horns Arms Elevator Installing the Flight Battery and Electronic Speed Control (ESC) CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft receiver when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery.
Conscendo™ S EN Control Direction Test Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter SAFE flight mode switch set to Experienced mode (position 2). * Mode 2 transmitter shown. For Mode 1, Elevator control is on the LEFT stick and Throttle control is on the RIGHT stick. Up Elevator (climb) CH 5 Down Elevator (descend) EExperienced perienced Mode Restrain the aircraft so it does not escape your control while you are testing your transmitter controls.
Conscendo™ S EN Flight Control For smooth control of your aircraft, always make small corrections. All directions are described as if you were sitting in the aircraft. Transmitter command Mode 1 When the aircraft’s nose is pointing toward you, left aileron will bank and turn the aircraft left (your right while holding the transmitter). Mode 2 Up Elevator Command Elevator • Flying faster or slower: When your aircraft is stable in the air, push the throttle stick up to make the aircraft go faster.
Conscendo™ S EN Trimming the Aircraft Manually Adjusting Trim It is recommend that the SAFE flight mode switch is set to Experienced mode (position 2) before manually adjusting trim. Perform manual adjustment of trim before increasing the throttle above 25% or the control surfaces will move when the aircraft is moved.
Conscendo™ S EN Range Test Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, you should perform a range check. The DX4e incorporates a range testing system. Placing the transmitter in RANGE CHECK mode reduces the output power, allowing a range check. 1 Keep upright, immobile and out of the wind for 5 seconds 1. Power on the transmitter for 5 seconds or more with the throttle stick and trim low. Plug in the aircraft battery and keep the aircraft immobile for 5 seconds. 2.
al Conscendo™ S EN Center of Gravity (CG) An aircraft with correct CG has its weight balanced on the center of the aircraft for safe, stable flight. Tip: Balance the aircraft on your fingertips near the fuselage under the wings. - If the nose goes down, move the flight battery back until the aircraft balances. - If the nose goes up, move the flight battery forward until the aircraft balances. Adjust the battery position as needed. 67mm 2.65 inches back from the leading edge of the wing at the root.
Conscendo™ S EN Takeoff Hand Launch Hand launch in Beginner mode for first flights. Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you can concentrate on flying. If you must hand launch the aircraft alone, hold the model in your dominant hand and the transmitter in your other hand. An optional neck strap (SPMP610, sold separately) can help you hold the transmitter. Wind 0–12 mph (0–19km/h) Easy Launching Launching is easier in Beginner mode. Increase the throttle to 100%. and launch the aircraft.
Conscendo™ S EN Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) LVC is a mechanism built into your ESC to protect the battery from over-discharge. When the battery charge is too low, LVC limits power supplied to the motor. The aircraft will begin to slow and you will hear the motor pulse. When the motor power decreases, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery. Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge.
Conscendo™ S EN Service of Power Components CAUTION: Always disconnect the flight battery from the model before removing the propeller. E Disassembly 1. Remove the 2 screws (A) and spinner-prop unit (B) from the motor. F D A B C 2. Carefully remove the 4 screws (C) and cowling (D) from the fuselage. 3. Remove the 4 screws (E) and x-mount (F) with the motor from the fuselage. A 4. Disconnect the motor connectors from the ESC connectors. 5.
