HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION Required Tools and Fasteners: #2 Phillips Screwdriver (2) M3x10 Phillips Head Self-Tapping Screw (QTY 2) 1. Insert the horizontal stabilizer tube into the fuselage and roughly center. 2. Slide the left and right stabilizer halves onto the tube. Ensure that the control horn orients towards the belly of the airplane. 3. If you have the night version connect the LED lights in the horizontal stabilizers using the provided connectors. 4.
MAIN WING INSTALLATION Required Tools and Fasteners: Medium CA Adhesive M3x18 Thumb Machine Screw (2) 1. Find the wings and the side force generators. The rear of the side-force generator is the wide end and will line up with the ailerons. 2. Test t the side-force generators into the wing-tips and make any adjustments as necessary. Using medium CA adhesive bond the side-force generators to the corresponding wing-tip. Wait for the adhesive to cure before proceeding to the next step. 3.
AURA 8 AFCS The Aura 8 AFCS (Advanced Flight Control System) comes programmed and pre-installed in your QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP, making setup a breeze. This highly-re ned 3-axis gyro makes the QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP y like it is a larger aircraft and in less wind. Thanks to the Aura’s advanced implementation, it not only enhances the ying experience, but it never interferes with the pilot’s control.
TRANSMITTER SETUP The included Aura 8 is designed to work seamlessly with all popular transmitter and receiver brands, however, transmitter setup is signi cantly di erent than when setting up a model without Aura. Follow these steps: 1. 2. 3. Start with a new and freshly reset model memory in your transmitter. Adjust your transmitter settings according to the Transmitter Con guration Guide below. Make ONLY the changes shown in the Transmitter Con guration Guide. No other changes are required.
Mini Port A Mini Port B DEFAULT AURA CONNECTIONS S1 – Throttle S2 – Left Aileron S3 – Right Aileron S4 – Elevator S5 – Rudder S6 – Empty S7 – Empty S8 – Empty Micro USB Port Port B – Serial Receiver Input Port B Mini Port A&B – Remote Receiver Inputs CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER TO AURA Serial Receivers If using a Spektrum Remote Receiver, connect it to Aura Mini Port A using the cable provided with your receiver.
CONNECTING YOUR RECEIVER TO AURA (CONTINUED) Aura 8 Auto-Detect Once your receiver is bound, powered, and connected to the Aura, the Aura will begin the Auto-Detect process to learn what type of receiver you are using and set itself up for that speci c system. Auto-Detect is indicated by a series of sweeping LEDs of various colors. After Auto-Detect is completed, verify that Aura is on and receiving data from your receiver by looking at the LEDs on the Aura.
The LEDs on your aircraft are switchable via the transmitter, and are designed to be powered by 12 volts (3S Li-Po) through the 6S JST-XH balance tab on the LED controller. By default, the LED controller is left unplugged. If the servo lead of the LED controller is not plugged into the Aura or a receiver, the LED controller will default in the ON position when powered, allowing the Night Version to be own at night with a basic 6-channel transmitter or receiver.
RUDDER AND ELEVATOR LINKAGE INSTALLATION Required Tools and Fasteners: (QTY 4) (QTY 4) (QTY 4) (QTY 2) Elevator and Rudder Pushrod Assemblies (4) M2x10 Phillips Head Machine Screw (4) M2 Flat Washer (4) M2 Lock Nut (2) M3x6 Phillips Head Machine Screw #1 Phillips Screwdriver #2 Phillips Screwdriver Needle-Nosed Pliers (or Hemostats) 4mm Socket Hex Driver (optional) Blue Thread Lock Locate the rudder and elevator pushrod assemblies, as well as the servo arms and hardware.
CONTROL DIRECTION TEST Refer to the chart below to determine the proper control surface directions. If controls are reversed, DO NOT REVERSE CONTROLS IN YOUR TRANSMITTER OR IN THE AURA CONFIG TOOL. Email us at support@ exinnovations.com for corrective action.
AURA SENSOR DIRECTION TEST Perform a test of the gyro system to verify the corrections made for a given movement are correct. If any of the tests do not result in the correct reaction from the airplane's gyro system, DO NOT FLY THE AIRPLANE, and contact us via email at support@ exinnovations.com The ight control system activates with RF broadcast. Perform these tests in Mode 3 (higher gain) for better visibility and then in Mode 2, and any other modes that have gyro gains assigned.
PROP ADAPTER, PROPELLER AND SPINNER INSTALLATION Required Tools and Fasteners: 2mm Hex Driver Adjustable Wrench Blue Thread Lock (4) M2.5 x 8 socket head machine screws (1) M3 x 6 button head machine screw (QTY 4) (QTY 1) 1. Place the prop adapter on the motor bell housing checking that the holes in the prop adapter line up with the holes in the motor bell housing. Using the 2mm hex driver, secure the prop adapter to the motor bell housing using the M2.5 x 8 socket head machine screws.
BATTERY INSTALLATION 1. Push the spring-loaded battery latch tab back to release the battery hatch. Lift the hatch away from the fuselage, starting at the front. 2. Install the hook side of adhesive-backed hook and loop tape to the plywood battery tray in the fuselage, and the loop side to your battery. 3. Place the battery on the tray, and secure it in place with the hook and loop strap provided. 4. Reinstall the hatch, and con rm that the latch has positively engaged.
To help ensure a successful rst ight, as well as many ights after, perform a few simple pre- ight checks to be sure the aircraft is ready to y: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. Verify all control surfaces are properly hinged. Pinch a control surface between your thumb and fore nger and stabilize the wing with your other hand. Attempt to move the control surface back and forth perpendicular to the wing (see Figure 1). Watch the hinges for movement.
Selecting a Flying Site Trimming Selecting a ying site is critical to a successful ight. Airplanes require a lot more room than other R/C products, therefore, a neighborhood or parking lot is less than ideal. A large open eld with short grass and generous over y area are the best candidates if no AMA eld is available in your area. Know your over y area ensure that there are no houses, playgrounds, or other buildings that may be damaged if the airplane were to crash.
AIRFRAME REPAIRS The QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP is molded from durable EPO foam and is repairable with most adhesives. Similar to building and repairing wood or composite airplanes, the correct glue for a given application is critical to the repair holding and not breaking again. For major repairs, such as a broken fuselage, epoxy is preferred because it allows time to correct any misalignment.
AIRCRAFT TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE Should you encounter any abnormal situations with your QQ Yak 55 10E Super PNP, refer to the table below to determine the probable cause and a recommended solution for the issue. If the required solution does not rectify the problem, please contact product support at support@ exinnovations.com for further assistance.
