Building and Operating Instructions Arcus V-Tail EDF No. 2592 Note re. radio control system For this model you require a radio control system with at least 4 channels. We particularly recommend 2.4 GHz systems. The receiving system is powered by the speed controller’s integral BEC system. Before you check the model's working systems, set the control surfaces to neutral from the transmitter (transmitter sticks and trims central).

(the orange signal wire corresponds to the white wire used for robbe-Futaba systems). - Place the receiver in the fuselage and route the receiver aerial(s). 16 15 Fig.
Building and Operating Instructions Arcus V-Tail EDF Checking the functions and setting up the control surfaces - Charge the flight battery. - Switch the transmitter on, and move the throttle stick to the “motor off” end-point. - Give the flight battery a full charge, apply Velcro (hookand-loop) tape to the pack, place it in the fuselage, and connect it. Wait for the speed controller to emit a series of beeps. - Place the canopy on the fuselage.
