INSTALLATION BATTERY Box 4, Bag for page 36 Before permanently mounting the batteries onto the battery tray, check the ideal position for the best center of gravity. BATTERIES Use the included double side tape to secure the batteries to the tray. Use the Velcro Strap [HA041-S]. Double Side Tap [HA035] IMPORTANT Before flying, make sure that the locking pin is back in its resting position, blocking the battery tray in the correct position NOTE: With the eccentric bushing you can adjust the tray play.
IN FLIGHT Box 2, Bag for page 37 OPERATIONS BEFORE FLIGHT *Set up the remote control and the flybarless system with utmost care. *It is advisable to test the correct settings of the remote and flybarless system without main blades or tail blades fitted. *Check that all wiring is isolated from the carbon/aluminum parts. It is good practice to protect them at the points where they are at most risk. *Be sure of the gear ratio, verifying carefully the motor pulley in use.
MAINTENANCE MAINTENANCE Take a look at the red parts. Check them frequently. All other parts are not particularly subject to wear. The lifespan of these components varies according to the type of flying. On average it is recommended to check these parts every 20 flights. In some instances, based on wear, these parts should be replaced every 100 flights. Periodically lubricate the tail slider movement and its linkages as well as the swash plate movement and its linkages.
TRANMISSION MODULE TRANMISSION MODULE MAIN SHAFT REPLACEMENT The transmission module is supplied assembled and verified, ready to be used. For replacing the main shaft: Explode and Spare Parts Shim 12.1x 16x0.1 ( If need to make zero play) (HC603-S) NOTE: Before opening the trasmission module, use heat to break down the loctite. (example use a gas torch) Use SAB HA076 Grease inside the module. *Remove the serial number plate. *Remove the M4x21.5 screw. *Remove and replace the main shaft.
CHECK LIST 1 Check the dampening on the main and tail rotor to be the same as always. 2 Tighten the main blades before flight. 3 5 Check Tail & Motor belt tension. The tension has to be tight. 6 Check the 2 M3 screws in the Clamp. Ensure they are tight. 7 9 Check for vertical play of the main shaft. Check if the FBL-RX connectors are OK 10 (hot glue is recommended). Check main hub screws(M4 and 2 M3) Ensure they are tight.
