Spitfire Mk IIB Instruction Manual Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone® Spitfire Mk IIB. The Spitfire was heralded throughout the world during WWII for its fantastic flying characteristics and was the aircraft the British counted on most to defend against the Germans. Now you can take to the skies with your own Spitfire and envision yourself in an epic battle with the Luftwaffe.
Italiano Step 1 Setting Up the Transmitter 1. Insert 8 new “AA” batteries (supplied) into the transmitter, observing proper polarity. 2. Turn the switch on and check to make sure the LED is illuminated, which indicates that the batteries have been installed correctly. Once this is confirmed, turn the radio off. 3. You’ll need to replace the transmitter “AA” batteries whenever you hear the low-battery alarm (beeping sound) being emitted from the transmitter.
Français Step 2 Charging the Aircraft Battery Le chargeur possède un système de détection de pic qui assure une charge précise et protège les batteries Ni-Cd et Ni-MH contre les dangers d’une surcharge. Pendant le cycle de charge, il surveille continuellement la courbe de la charge de la batterie et cesse automatiquement de charger rapidement quand la charge maximale est détectée. Cette fonction évite d’endommager votre batterie.
Italiano Passo 2. Carica della Batteria del Modello Il caricabatterie ParkZone® CC con picco a rateo variabiledispone di un circuito speciale per garantire una carica ottimale e protegge le batterie Ni-Cd e Ni-MH dal rischio di sovraccarica. Il caricabatterie controlla in continuazione la curva di carica della batteria e si arresta automaticamente quando rileva il picco di carica. Questo tipo di caricabatteria aiuta a proteggere le celle Ni-Cd e Ni-MH dalla sovraccarica.
Step 3 Step 4 Attaching the Wing Attaching the Horizontal Stabilizer In order to attach the wing of your Spitfire Mk IIB, please follow these simple instructions: 1. Locate the included wing screws (in clear plastic bag). 2. Plug in the aileron servo lead from the wing into the aileron extension. This is very important, as the ailerons will be reversed if this is not done. 3. Carefully attach the wing to the fuselage. Use 3 screws to secure the wing as shown. 1. Locate the horizontal stab of the tail.
Italiano Step 5 Passo 4. Fissaggio del Piano Orizzontale 1. Prendere il piano orizzontale. 2. Far passare il piano orizzontale attraverso la fessura della fusoliera, facendo attenzione che la squadretta del piano orizzontale sia ben allineata con il rinvio e la forcella che escono dalla fusoliera. 3. Quando si è sicuri che la coda è certrata con precisione, fissare la coda col nastro trasparente alla fusoliera come illustrato. Usare il nastro sopra e sotto da entrambi le parti (4 nastri in totale). 4.
Italiano Step 6 Motor Test WARNING: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the motor test so you do not damage any property or harm anyone. 1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the “off” position. 2. Turn on the transmitter. 3. Plug the flight battery into the white lead inside the fuselage. 4. Secure the battery inside the fuselage cavity by looping the hook and loop straps around the battery, and replace the battery cap. ® 5.
Italiano Step 7 Attenzione: Tenere sgombra la zona vicina all’elica prima di effettuare il controllo che potrebbe avviare accidentalmente il motore. Control Test Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor. REV ELEV 1. Be certain that the throttle slider is in the “off” position and that both trim levers are centered. 2.
Step 8 Italiano Making Adjustments to the Ailerons Attenzione: Tenere sgombra la zona vicina all’elica prima di effettuare il controllo che potrebbe avviare accidentalmente il motore. Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before adjusting the ailerons in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor. You may find some adjustment is needed to properly trim the ailerons. The ailerons are properly trimmed when each aileron is level with the stationary wing surface.
Step 10 Step 9 WIND VENT VIENTO Choosing a Flying Field • A large, open grassy field is required to fly your ParkZone® Spitfire Mk IIB. Your Spitfire can achieve speeds greater than 60 km/h, so it covers ground fast. The choice of a large field will ensure greater success for your flight. • It is essential to have a minimum of 100 meters of clear space in all directions from the pilot.
Step 11 Italiano Per eseguire questo test servono due persone: una per tenere il modello e l’altra per azionare la trasmittente. Range Test You will need two people to perform the range test—one to hold the plane and the other to give the transmitter input. Warning: The person holding the plane should hold it in such a way that the propeller does not come into contact with any part of their clothing or body. 1.
Step 12 Step 13 First Flights Mode Change Flight Control System The ParkZone® 3-channel control system is designed for the experienced radio control pilot and is not intended for the inexperienced flyer. If you have successfully flown 3channel HobbyZone® airplanes, then you should be ready for the ParkZone Spitfire Mk IIB.
Français Step 14 For your convenience, the ZX10 radio included with your Spitfire Mk IIB has been pre-programmed for use with the included battery (9-cell 10.8V Ni-MH). If you plan on only flying with the included battery pack, no changes will need to be made. Simply proceed through the Boot-Up process and you’re ready to fly. Proceed to the Teach-In process only if you plan to use an optional battery, such as an (2000mAh +) 11.1V Li-Po.
Italiano Per comodità, la radio ZX10 dello Spitfire Mk IIB è già programmata per l’uso con la batteria di dotazione (9 celle 10,8V Ni-MH). Se si usa questa batteria non occorre fare nulla. Basta avviare la procedura di avviamento e si è pronti per volare. Usare la procedura Teach-In solo se si desidera usare una batteria opzionale Li-Po da 11,1V e 2000 mAh o più. In tale caso bisogna variare la tensione di taglio per evitare danni alla batteria Li-Po. Accensione 1.
Italiano Step 15 Hand Launching the Spitfire Your ParkZone® Spitfire Mk IIB will need to be hand launched. To do this, follow these instructions: 1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged. If it has been longer than 12 hours since you fully charged your Ni-MH battery, you’ll want to peak it again with your variable rate DC peak charger. See Step 2 for battery charging. If you’re using a Li-Po battery, please follow the charging directions for your Li-Po compatible charger. 2.
Italiano Step 16 Helpful Hints for Flight: Your ParkZone® Spitfire Mk IIB will need to be hand launched. To do this, follow these instructions: 1. After launching, your Spitfire Mk IIB will climb at full throttle. Keep the throttle full on until you have reached an altitude of at least 15 meters. At the same time, make sure that you continue to keep the airplane flying directly into the wind. 2. Make right and left adjustments, as necessary, to keep the plane headed directly into the wind.
Step 17 Step 18 Throttle Adjustment: Using Elevator: 1. Climb to a minimum altitude of 15 to 20 meters at full throttle. 2. To achieve and maintain a level “cruising” altitude, reduce the power by moving the throttle slider down to approximately 70% of full on. The throttle slider is proportional, so you can add or reduce throttle in small increments, as needed, to maintain the altitude that you desire. 3. To reduce altitude, reduce the throttle, and to increase altitude, increase the throttle.
Italiano Step 19 Landing Your Spitfire When you begin to notice that your Spitfire Mk IIB no longer climbs well under full power (normally after approximately 10–12 minutes), the battery is getting low and it is time to land. Bring your aircraft directly into the wind and toward the desired landing spot. Gradually reduce throttle (and give a small amount of down elevator if you choose) to reach an altitude of approximately 3 meters.
Step 20 Step 21 Aerobatic Flight Repairing Minor Damage Your Spitfire Mk IIB comes out of the box with the controls set for softer responses and with the clevis attached to the outer holes of the control horns on the control surfaces. However, once you get used to the flight characteristics and want to perform more aerobatic maneuvers, you can change the amount of throw that is permitted by moving the clevises to the inner holes of the control horns and switching to Mode B.
Warnings and Safety 1. Read and follow this manual completely, observing all instructions and safety directions. Otherwise, serious injury and damage can occur. Think about your safety, and the safety of others, first. 2. Keep the propeller away from body parts and clothing, even when it isn’t spinning, as it could be turned on by accident. Beware of hair becoming entangled in the propeller, especially while launching your plane. 3.
