EN Preflight Checklist 9 9 1. Charge flight battery. 2. Fully assemble aircraft. 3. Install flight battery in aircraft (once it has been fully charged). 7. Perform AS3X Control Direction Test with aircraft. 8. Set dual rates. 9. Adjust center of gravity. 4. Bind aircraft to transmitter. 10. Find a safe and open area. 5. Make sure linkages move freely. 11. Plan flight for flying field conditions. 6. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter. 12. Set flight timer for 5 minutes for first flight.

SOLID RED LED –Charging LED OFF USB Li-Po –Charge Charger Complete DC Input:5.0V 350mA DC Output:4.2V 300mA EFLC1008 CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate. CAUTION: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.
EN Transmitter and Receiver Binding 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. Any full range Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the DSM2/DSMX receiver. Please visit www. bindnfly.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.
EN Flight Battery Installation and ESC Arming Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a flight battery requires the following steps. It is normal for linear servos to make noise. Noise is not an indication of a faulty servo. The AS3X® system will not activate until the throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once active, the control surfaces may move rapidly and noisily on the aircraft. This is normal.
EN Center of Gravity (CG) The CG location is 29mm back from the leading edge at the wing root. This CG location has been determined with the included 1S 150mAh 3.7V Li-Po battery installed towards the rear of the battery cavity located on the bottom of the aircraft. Balance the model on the edge of a metal ruler to find the Center of Gravity. Place the ruler on the underside of the airframe at the CG location shown in the image to the right.
EN Control Direction Tests Continued Aircraft Movement AS3X Reaction 1. Advance the throttle to 25% to activate the AS3X system. 2. Fully lower the throttle. 3. Move the entire aircraft as shown and ensure the control surfaces move in the direction indicated in the graphic. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Refer to the receiver manual for more information. Once the AS3X system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal.
EN Control Centering Before the first flights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the flight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of linear servos. 1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. The transmitter sub-trim must always be set to zero. 2.
EN First Person View (FPV) Camera Installation 1. Carefully pull the receiver’s FPV power connector out of the hole of the aircraft’s canopy. 1 2 2. Align the wire colors and connect the FPV power connector to the camera unit. 3. Connect a flight battery to the aircraft, then remove the lens cap and test the FPV system. FPV System Test • Power on headset and ensure it is on CH 1, ensure no other video transmissions are on channel 1.
EN First Person View (FPV) System instructions Using the Ultra Micro FPV System Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment. In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner. NOTICE: We do not recommend using the ultra micro FPV system in low light. 1. Power on your radio transmitter, then power on the aircraft. 2. Remove the lens cap from the camera. Turn to focus 3.
EN Flying Tips and Repairs We recommend flying your aircraft outside in calm conditions. Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer fields. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft. With practice, you will find it easier to locate and anticipate the movement of thermals.
EN Flying Tips Continued Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) Repairs Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC) pulses the power to the motor when the voltage gets low. When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery. Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA, as other types of glue can damage the foam. When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.
EN Power Components Service CAUTION: DO NOT handle propeller parts while the flight battery is connected. Personal injury could result. Disassembly 1. Disconnect the camera, then the battery from the ESC/receiver. 2. Carefully cut the tape and/or decals on the side of the fuselage to remove the top half of the fuselage. IMPORTANT: Removing tape and/or decals can remove paint from the fuselage. Rem ov e 4. Hold the prop shaft using needle-nose pliers or hemostats. Install 5.
