EN Introduction Welcome to the cutting edge of electric flight! World Aerobatic Champion, Quique Somenzini, designed your new E-flite® Carbon-Z™ Splendor™ aircraft to deliver everything the world of precision flying has to offer. Beautiful from any angle you look at it, the Carbon-Z Splendor allows you to perform both elegant F3A aerobatic maneuvers and extreme 3D stunts all in the same flight.
EN Binding is the process of programming the receiver 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. Please visit www.bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters. CAUTION: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, you must reverse the throttle channel and rebind.
EN Installing the Battery 1. Press the latch button (A) to lift the front edge of the canopy hatch, then pull the hatch up and forward from the fuselage. 2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop tape to the bottom of your battery(s). 3. For the recommended CG, install the battery(s) all the way to the back of the compartment, then press the battery(s) onto the hook and loop strip (B). Close the 2 hook and loop straps (C) around the battery(s).
EN Arming the ESC and Receiver Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the steps below. AS3X The AS3X system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once the AS3X is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected. CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller.
EN Installing the Horizontal Tail 1. Slide the horizontal tail tube (A) into the hole in the rear of the fuselage. 2. Install the 2 piece (left and right) horizontal tail as shown. 3. Install 2 short screws in the forward holes in the horizontal tail. 4. Install 2 long screws in the rear holes in the horizontal tail. A 5. Attach the linkage between the servo arm and the control horn on the elevator using the included ball link (B), nut (C), screw (D) and link cover (E).
EN Installing the Wings 1. Remove the canopy hatch before installing the wings. 2. Slide the wing tube (A) into the fuselage. 3. Install the left and right wing (B and C) over the wing tube and into the wing slot of the fuselage while inserting the aileron servo connectors through the provided holes. B CAUTION: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage the wiring when attaching the wing to the fuselage. 4. Invert the fuselage so the landing gear is facing up.
EN AS3X Control Direction Test Move the aircraft as shown to ensure the AS3X system moves the control surfaces in their proper direction. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information. Rudder Once the AS3X system is active, the control surfaces may move rapidly on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X will remain active until the battery is disconnected.
EN Transmitter Setup IMPORTANT: The AR635 receiver’s default setting is Computerized Transmitter 3D. We recommend that you do not change this setup. Refer to the receiver manual for more information. A DSM2/DSMX five-channel (or better) transmitter with adjustable Dual Rates and adjustable exponential is required for flying this aircraft. The Spektrum™ DX6i, DX7s, DX8, DX10t, DX18 and JR® X9503, 11X or 12X transmitters may be used.
EN Preflight Checklist 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. Remove and inspect contents. Charge flight battery. Read this instruction manual thoroughly. Fully assemble model. Install the flight battery in the aircraft (once it has been fully charged). Check the Center of Gravity (CG) Bind aircraft to your transmitter. 8. Make sure linkages move freely. 9. Perform the AS3X Control Direction Test with the aircraft. 10. Perform the Control Direction Test with the transmitter. 11. Adjust flight controls and transmitter. 12.
EN Guidelines for Precision Flying The E-flite Splendor aircraft and its AS3X system were designed together to help an intermediate pilot apply standard flying skills to precision flying. This aircraft excels in precision maneuvers. While the AS3X system is activated, you can practice precision maneuvers in more wind or tougher conditions. This system gives this aircraft the feel of a bigger aircraft, similar to a 2-meter F3A competition aircraft.
EN Service of Power Components Disassembly Assembly 1. Remove the screw (A) and spinner (B) from the collet (G). 2. Remove the spinner nut (C), propeller (D), spinner back plate (E), backplate (F) and collet from the motor shaft (H). You will need a tool to turn the spinner nut. 3. Remove 2 screws (I) from inside the cowling (J). Carefully remove the cowling from the fuselage. Paint may keep the cowling attached to the fuselage. 4. Remove the 4 screws (K) from the motor mount (O) and the fuselage (L). 5.
EN AMA National Model Aircraft Safety Code Effective January 1, 2011 A. GENERAL A model aircraft is a non-human-carrying aircraft capable of sustained flight in the atmosphere. It may not exceed limitations of this code and is intended exclusively for sport, recreation and/or competition. All model flights must be conducted in accordance with this safety code and any additional rules specific to the flying site. 1. Model aircraft will not be flown: (a) In a careless or reckless manner.
EN Troubleshooting Guide AS3X Problem Possible Cause Solution Flying over recommended airspeed Reduce air speed Damaged propeller or spinner Replace propeller or spinner Imbalanced propeller Balance the propeller. For more information, view John Redman’s propeller balancing video at www. horizonhobby.com Flight condition variations Adjust gain to current flight conditions (wind, updrafts, local conditions [elevation, humidity, temperature, etc.
EN Troubleshooting Guide Problem Aircraft will not respond to throttle but responds to other controls Extra propeller noise or extra vibration Reduced flight time or aircraft underpowered Aircraft will not Bind (during binding) to transmitter Aircraft will not connect (after binding) to transmitter Possible Cause Throttle not at idle and/or throttle trim too high Reset controls with throttle stick and throttle trim at lowest setting Throttle servo travel is lower than 100% Make sure throttle servo
