The C-130 is an American four-engine turboprop military transport aircraft which is capable of using unprepared runways for takeoffs and landings. The C-130 was originally designed as a troop, medevac, and cargo transport aircraft. The versatile airframe has found uses in a variety of other roles, including as a gunship (AC-130), for airborne assault, search and rescue, scientific research support, weather reconnaissance, aerial refueling, maritime patrol and aerial firefighting.
Assembly 1 Main fuselage assembly. 2 Install the fiberglass rods into the carbon sleeves at the rear of the fuselage as shown.
4 Slide the tail assembly onto the rods 5 6 4
7 Then install the vertlcal fin onto the fuselage. 8 9 3mm x 25mm 3mm x 20mm Use the supplied screws to lock the vertical fin onto the fuselage. Note: The longer 3x25mm screw should be installed just behind the cargo bay door as shown in the picture above.
10 Install the supplied rudder steering control horn as shown in the picture. (Z link goes to the servo horn). 11 Ensure the rudder control surface is aligned with the vertical fin. Use an Allen key to tighten the grub screws of the control horn and also apply some Loctite glue onto the threads. The rudder servo horn and the rudder control horn should be at 90° to the main axis of the fuselage.
12 Slide into the fuselage the main wing spar. 13 Install both wings.
15 Push both wings up against the fuselage wing roots, make sure the electrical connectors on the wings line up and plug in correctly. 16 3mm x10mm Insert 4 off 3mm x 10mm screws into the fuselage wing roots as shown. Use a Hex key with ball end to tighten the screws.
17 18 Install the propeller assemblies as shown. Use a Hex key to lock the prop adaptor onto the motor shaft then fit the propeller and spinner. Note: Apply some Loctite to the threads and then tighten the screws securely.
19 Install the outboard flap pushrod linkages to the flaps as shown. (Z link to the servo horn). 20 Install the elevator pushrod linkage to the elevator as shown. (Z link to the servo horn).
Figure 1 Figure 2 Plug in the UBEC cables to the power cables on the plane. Pay attention to the polarity and ensure that all the pins are fully seated into the socket. See pic #1 and #2.
Radio Control Setup Please also study your computer radio instruction manual carefully for the programming and the proper setup of each function on this airplane. Flaps setting procedure: Note: Please do not have the flap control linkages attached until you have the radio set up done. Once you have set up your radio you may install the control linkages and fine tune the flap control surface travels evenly on both sets of flaps on both wings. 1.
12. Finally check again to ensure all the flap control surfaces are operating in the same manner. 13. Pic #3 below shows the inboard and outboard flaps when fully deployed. Pic #1 Pic #2 Pic #3 Cargo bay door setting procedure: 1. Switch on your radio. You can either assign a two way switch or a three way switch to a free channel to operate the cargo bay door. 2. Then go into the end points setup page. 3. Adjust both end points to approximately 30% of the total travel on either side. 4.
For a two way switch setup 1. Adjust the end point so that with the switch position selecting the door closed and the door is flushed with the fuselage and there is no buzzing from the servo. 2. Flick the switch to the door down position and adjust the end point so that the door just misses the ground. For a three way switch setup 1. Flick the switch to the door up position and adjust the end point value until it is flushed with the fuselage and there is no buzzing from the servo. 2.
Put the C-130 on a plane stand. 1. With landing wheels down ( gear switch should be in gear down position ). 2. Replace the depleted battery with a fresh battery pack and hook it up to the power input cables. 3. Cycle the gear switch once. 4. Only the nose gear door will open and close again ( Nose wheels and main wheels will remain in the down position ). 5. Flick the retract switch to the retracted position. It will operate normally with all the wheels retracting and all the doors closed.
