4-CHANNEL RADIO CONTROL UNIT

During remote control operation, an electronic identifier is transmitted with each transmission pulse in addition to the control information. Based on this identifier the receiver identifies that the signal is from "its" transmitter. As there are many millions of transmitter identifiers available, it is extremely unlikely that a foreign transmitter will be able to affect your receiver. However, the transmitter must communicate this identifier once to each new receiver prior to the initial start-up. This requires the following procedure which where possible should be carried out in a place where this transmission by radio cannot be disrupted by any other electrical signals, particularly not by other 2.4 GHz transmitters.

Assignment of Transmitter Identifier to Receiver (Binding)

1. Arrange transmitter and receiver side-by-side and close together in working order but switched off. To assign the receiver to the transmitter, press the frequency alignment button on the transmitter and switch on the transmitter.

2. Insert the short-circuit connector (see diagram below) into the "BATT" socket on the receiver. Connect the flight controller to the receiver and the flight battery to supply the receiver with power and this should light up the indicator light.

3. If the frequency alignment was successful, the indicator light will continue to be lit up. 4.The indicator light will start flashing when the shortcircuit connector is removed. The receiver goes into the ready to operate mode.

5. Press the frequency alignment button again for acknowledgement. The transmitter is now ready to operate and the indicator light lights up indicating normal function of the receiver.

Sufficient power for flight control is available as long as long as the indicator light is showing green. If the indicator is redthe flight must be ended as soon as possible (a safe landing is still possible); launching again is prohibited. The batteries are too weak and have to be exchanged with new ones.

Changing the transmitter batteries

To remove the battery cover, slide in the direction of the arrow (downward) whilst lightly pushing the finger mark. When inserting batteries always insert the negative end first observing the correct polarity as stamped in the battery case. If the transmitter voltage indicator fails to register, check the contacts, (especially the negative) and recheck that batteries are fitted correctly. Also make sure the batteries are fully charged.

Used correctly, domestic batteries are a safe and dependable source of portable power. Problems can occur If they are misused or abused - resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or explosion.

Here are some simple guidelines to safe battery use designed to eliminate any such problems.

Store unused batteries in their packaging and away from metal objects which may cause a short-circuit resulting in leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion

Never attempt to recharge ordinary batteries, either in a charger or by applying heat to them. They may leak, cause fire or even explode. There are special rechargeable batteries which are clearly marked as such.

Take care to fit your batteries correctly, observing the plus and minus marks on the battery and appliance. Incorrect fitting can cause leakage or, in extreme cases, fire or even an explosion.

Remove dead batteries from equipment and all batteries from equipment you know you are not going to use for a long time. Otherwise the batteries may leak and cause damage.

Supervise children If they are replacing batteries themselves in order to ensure these guidelines are followed.

Replace the whole set of batteries at one time, taking care not to mix old and new batteries or batteries of different types, since this can result in leakage or, in extreme Gases, fire or even an explosion

Never dispose of batteries in fire as this can cause them to explode. Do not put dead batteries in with the normal household waste. Deliver them at special collecting institutions.

Make sure battery compartments are secure.

Attaching the elevator

Push the elevator into the precut slit in the fuselage and check that the rudder flap can move freely. If it scrapes against the fuselage and is difficult to move, use a modelling knife to cut away the fuselage at this point taking extreme care. Apply the glue contained in the kit to the parts on the elevator that will later come into contact with the fuselage. You should also apply a little glue to the contact surfaces on the slit in the fuselage. Ease the fuselage slightly apart and push the elevator (the rudder horn facing downwards) into the fuselage, checking that it is positioned straight in both directions.

The throttle control must not be pushed forward, the aeroplane should be held firmly and kept away from the propeller’s plane of rotation, as there is always the chance that the engine may be started unintentionally. The left hand control stick on the transmitter (for the engine and rudder) must be in the “Engine Off” position (completely down) and for the rudder on “neutral” (in the middle). The right hand control stick (elevator and ailerons) should be in the fully neutral position. The trims for the fin and elevator must also be in the centre position. To allow the plastic fork crown of the control linkage to be screwed in and out of the rudder horn, it must be adjusted in such a way that the bearing pin fits exactly into the second hole in the rudder horn (from the outside). It should then be pushed into this hole and secured by pushing together. The elevator and side rudder should also be fixed in this way. You should now check that the rudder flaps function correctly: joy stick for the rudder to the right, rudder deflection in direction of flight to the right (right bend); joy stick for elevator forward, rudder deflection up (climbing). Slight deviations can be corrected using the trim lever, greater deviations should be corrected at the fork crown.

Check that the tail assembly functions by operating the transmitter. If horizontal and vertical are reversed on the transmitter, pull the plugs in channels 2 and 3 out and plug them back in the opposite way round.

An airplane's centre of gravity is designed to be in a certain relation to its lifting areas and the Cessna 182 it is set up correctly on delivery. The margin at which the centre of gravity may move in relation to the ideal set up is very small. You can check the centre of gravity of the Cessna 182 by holding it up at the points shown (140 mm from the rear edge of the wing) with two fingers. It should then slightly swing around the horizontal position and not be inclined to the front or rear.

checked for correct functioning, the pilot should position him or herself behind the model to allow him or her to react quickly if the model veers to the side. At full throttle, after rolling approximately 20m, and if the speed seems high enough, the aeroplane can take off by gentle pulling on the elevator. Now gradually increase the speed and do not allow to climb too steeply! Once a sufficiently safe height has been reached, the throttle for normal flying mode can be reduced to about 30%. This lengthens the flight duration accordingly.

When your Cessna 182 has landed successfully you should immediately disconnect the LiPo battery. Then switch off the transmitter. If another modeller would like to use your frequency advise them that your transmitter is now off. You must not use your transmitter again until you have ensured that your frequency is not being used by somebody else. If you do not intend to use the radio control unit for several weeks, you should remove the batteries from the transmitter.

Am Ende der Lebensdauer fällt die Spannung einer Batterie stark ab und sie muss ebenso wie ein defekter Akku entsorgt werden. Versuchen Sie niemals, eine Trockenbatterie mit einem Ladegerät aufzuladen, es besteht Brandund Explosionsgefahr.
