EN Thank you for purchasing the ParkZone® Stryker F-27Q. You are about to take flight with one of the hottest flying wings ever built. Its potent one-two punch of sizzling speed and amazing precision aerobatic ability will make every flight one to remember. Before you blast off, though, you must take time to read through this manual. With the F-27Q Stryker things happen fast and it can cover a lot of ground in a hurry.
EN Charging the Flight Battery Your Stryker comes with a DC balancing charger and 3S Li-Po battery. You must charge the included Li-Po battery pack with a Li-Po specific charger only (such as the included charger). Never leave the battery and charger unattended during the charge process. Failure to follow the instructions properly could result in a fire. When charging, make certain the battery is on a heat-resistant surface. Charge the flight battery while assembling the aircraft.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a single specific transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2™/DSMX™ technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation. Note: Any JR® or Spektrum full range DSM2™/DSMX™ transmitter can bind to the Spektrum AR600 receiver. Please visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
EN Before Flight 1 2 • Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings. Power on Transmitter 3 • Connect battery to ESC. 4 • Power on ESC switch. Wait 5 seconds Continuous LED Series of tones Installing a Receiver 1. Install your park flyer or full range receiver in the fuselage using hook and loop tape or double-sided servo tape. 2. Attach right aileron to elevator channel of your receiver. Left aileron goes to aileron channel of your receiver.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) Install included battery in the fuselage using the hook and loop straps. 140mm (5.5 inches) forward from firewall on end of fuselage Installing Clevises on Control Horns and Control Centering Tip: Turn the clevis clockwise or counterclockwise on the linkage. • Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage. • Carefully spread the clevis and put the clevis pin in a selected hole in the control horn. • Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn.
EN Installing Nose 1. Align magnets and install nose (A) on fuselage (B). Note: Always repair or replace the nose when it is damaged to keep the model flying correctly. B A Transmitter and Model Setup Transmitter Set up Flying wings are controlled by elevons (moveable surfaces on the wing). Elevons take the aileron control (move opposite directions), and elevator control (move up/down same direction) and mixes them together electronically through the transmitter.
EN Control Direction Test Bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure aircraft control surfaces move correctly.
EN Service of Power Components Disassembly 1. Remove front canopy (A) from fuselage. 2. Disconnect battery from ESC. 3. Remove battery from hook and loop straps in fuselage. 4. Loosen screw (B) and remove rear hatch (C) from fuselage. 5. Disconnect 3 bullet connectors of motor from ESC connectors (motor wire colors align with ESC wire colors). 6. Remove spinner nut (D), propeller (E), backplate (F) and collet (G) from motor shaft. Note: A tool may be needed to turn spinner nut. 7.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs Range Check your Radio System Landing After final assembly, range check the radio system with the Stryker. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information. Land the model when you hear hear the motor pulsing (LVC) or if you notice a reduction in power. If using a transmitter with a timer, set the timer so you have enough flight time to make several landing approaches. CAUTION: Keep hands away from the propeller.
