Typhoon 3D Instruction Manual Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone™ Typhoon™3D RTF airplane. Your Typhoon 3D comes with everything needed to get you in the air— all in one box! You only need to attach the wing, horizontal stabilizer, rudder, propeller, and landing gear, as well as charge the flight battery prior to your first flight. In as little as 40 minutes, you can be ready to fly. This means you can spend your time refining your 3D flying, and not your building skills.
Step 2 Charging the Aircraft Battery ?? ?? ?? ? ?? ? ?? ? ? ??? ?? ? ? ?? ?? ??? ??? ? ? ??? ? ?? ??? ?? ?? ?? ? ?? ? ?? ?? ??? ?? The included variable rate DC peak charger uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate charge for the 9-cell 1000mAh Ni-MH battery pack every time. It also protects the battery from being over-charged, which can damage the battery pack.
Step 3 Installing Landing Gear 1. Slide landing gear into allotted space on fuselage. 2. Fit should be snug, so it will not easily pull out. Step 4 Attaching the Wing • BATT • THRO • ELEV • AILE (R) • AILE (L) • RUDD • AUX1 1. Locate the wing set. Note that the servos are located in the bottom of the wing. 2. Select a wing half and slide in fuse, making sure that you slide aileron servo lead in first (in allotted hole in side of fuse.
Step 5 Attaching the Horizontal Stabilizer and Rudder 1. Locate horizontal stab. 2. Carefully slide horizontal stab into fuselage, making sure control surface horn is on top. 3. Use included strips (4 pieces) of clear tape to secure stab to tail fillet. You should use 1 strip for top and bottom of each side. 4. Locate rudder. Carefully snap tail wheel wire into the clip on bottom of fuse, as shown. 5. Carefully use hobby knife to slowly separate decal from foam only where three hinges are to attach to stab.
Step 6 Installing the Propeller and Spinner Your Typhoon™3D has two props that are included. You can select the prop that best works with your flying style. A. 13.5 x 7 (PKZ1006): This prop is recommended for the first several flights on your plane. This prop will allow your plane to fly a bit slower, but is also the set up for maximum vertical power (especially with the 9-cell Ni-MH pack). B. 12 x 8.75 (PKZ1007): This prop will allow you to fly at faster speeds and help with certain aerobatic maneuvers.
Step 8 ParkZone 4-Channel Radio System ParkZone™ Transmitter Features: Typhoon™3D Your comes with a fully proportional 4-channel radio system (Mode 2). Your Typhoon also comes with industry standard 3-wire servos making the radio system usable in other small electric aircraft if you so choose. As with all Mode 2 style systems, the left gimble operates the throttle and rudder, while the right gimble operates the aileron and elevator.
Step 9 20 Amp ESC: A. Menu Item 1: Voltage Auto Cut-Off The Typhoon™3D can be powered by either a 9-cell 10.8V 1000mAh Ni-MH or a 3S 11.1V 2100mAh Li-Po battery pack. Using the Thunder Power 3S battery will greatly increase the power, performance, and flight time of your Typhoon 3D. 1 beep – auto cut-off The ESC comes with the auto-cut voltage set for the 9-cell Ni-MH battery pack. You must reprogram the voltage automatic cut-off if you are planning to fly with the 3S Li-Po battery.
Step 10 Range Checking your Radio System After you have finished the final assembly, it is time to range check the radio system within the Typhoon™ 3D. Prior to each flying session: • Make sure that no one around that may be flying, or is getting prepared to fly, is on the same channel that you are on. After this is confirmed, turn on transmitter with antenna down. Next, turn on receiver (switch on the plane). With airplane on the ground and motor running, you should walk away approximately 100 ft.
