Preﬂ ight Checklist

1. Charge ﬂ ight battery.

2. Install ﬂ ight battery in aircraft (once it has been fully charged).

3. Bind aircraft to transmitter.

4. Make sure linkages move freely.

5. Perform Control Direction Test with transmitter.

6. Adjust center of gravity.

7. Perform a radio system Range Check.

8. Find a safe and open area.

9. Plan ﬂ ight for ﬂ ying ﬁ eld conditions.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft’s ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Once the battery discharges to 3V per cell, the LVC will reduce the power to the motor in order to leave adequate power to the receiver and servos to land the airplane.

When the motor power reduces, land the aircraft immediately and replace or recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after each ﬂ ight. Charge your Li-Po battery to about half capacity before storage. Make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. A connected battery will result in trickle discharge.

For your ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 4 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter ﬂ ights once you have ﬂ own the model. Flights of 6 minutes or more are achievable if using proper throttle management.

NOTICE: Repeated ﬂ ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen SpektrumTM 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. bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

NOTICE: When using a Futaba is required.

Binding Procedure

1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).

2. Make sure the ﬂ ight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.

3. Power off the transmitter.

4. Bind the AR6310 receiver to a DSM2 transmitter by shorting the bind pins (A) together with tweezers, a hemostat or small needle-nose pliers. Metal to metal contact is needed to complete the circuit. Do not bend the bind pins.

5. Connect the ﬂ ight battery to the aircraft. Short the pins until the receiver LED begins to ﬂ ash rapidly (typically after 5 seconds).

6. Ensure that control surface trims are centered and the throttle and throttle trim are in the low position to correctly set failsafe.

7. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.

8. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. If the LED does not turn solid, refer to the Troubleshooting Guide at the back of the manual.

Installing the Flight Battery

1. Remove the canopy by gripping near the rear and pulling up, then back to disengage the canopy’s front tab from the fuselage.

2. Place the flight battery in the battery compartment. Slide the battery into the battery cavity (A) towards the front of the fuselage.

See the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for the battery’s position.

3. Connect the fully charged flight battery to the ESC connector. See the Arming the ESC

instructions for correct connection of the battery to the ESC.

4. Replace the canopy on the fuselage.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to eliminate power supplied to the motor. The ESC does not have an arming switch, and will respond to any transmitter input when a signal is present.

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the ESC when not ﬂ ying to avoid over-discharging the battery. Batteries discharged to a voltage lower than the lowest approved voltage may become damaged, resulting in loss of performance and potential ﬁ re when batteries are charged.

Arming the ESC

Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as previously described, but subsequent connection of a ﬂ ight battery requires the steps below.

1 2

Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings.

Power on the Transmitter, then wait 5 seconds

Tip: If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep after the ﬂ ight battery is connected, recharge or replace the battery.

If you accidentally connect the battery while the throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will sound after 5 seconds. Disconnect the battery immediately.

Install ﬂ ight battery and connect it to the ESC.

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

Continuous LED

Installing the Wing

1. Turn over the model so the bottom of the fuselage faces up.

2. Carefully install the micro connector of the aileron servo (A) into the AIL port of the receiver (B).

NOTICE: When disconnecting the servo connectors, do not pull on the servo wires. Use a screwdriver or pliers to break the friction ﬁ t of the servo connectors. Failure to do so could result in damage to the servo wiring.

3. Insert the 2 wing pins (C) into the holes in the front of the fuselage. Connect the back of the wing to the fuselage.

NOTICE: DO NOT crush or otherwise damage wiring when installing the wing on the fuselage.

4. Turn the aircraft right side up. Carefully use the o-ring tool (D) to pull the o-ring (E) over the hook in the fuselage (F).

NOTICE: Pulling too much on the O-ring can damage the O-ring connector in the wing, requiring replacement of the wing.

Tip: Before ﬂ ying, always ensure the O-ring is in good condition. Replace a worn or inﬂ exible O-ring.

5. Install the canopy on the fuselage.

Control Centering

Before the ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the

control surfaces are not centered.

1. Make sure the transmitter sub-trims are set to zero and the servo arms are perpendicular to the servo case.

2. When an adjustment of linkages is needed, pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage.

3. Carefully spread the clevis and adjust the length of the linkage by screwing the clevis in or out. Reattach the clevis in the proper hole in the control horn.

4. Move the tube to tighten the clevis onto the control horn.

Settings for Control Horns

The following illustration shows the factory settings for linkages on the control horns. After ﬂ ying, you may choose to adjust the linkage positions for the desired control response.

Elevator and Rudder

Control Direction Test

You should bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure the aircraft control surfaces move correctly and in the proper direction.

Make sure the tail linkages move freely and that paint or decals are not adhered to them.

Dual Rates and Expos

We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual rates. The settings below are recommended starting settings. Adjust according to individual preferences after the initial ﬂ ight.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 43mm back from the leading edge of the wing at the root.

Dual Rates High Rate Low Rate

Aileron 7mm up/down 5mm up/down Elevator 9mm up/down 7mm up/down Rudder 18mm left/right 15mm left/right

Expo High Rate Low Rate

Aileron 25% 15% Elevator 25% 15% Rudder 25% 15%

The battery cavity is oversized to allow for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery fully forward with the connectors facing the rear of the aircraft. Adjust as needed by sliding the battery back.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Flying

We recommend ﬂ ying your E-ﬂ ite® A6M5 Zero outside in no greater than moderate winds or inside in a large gymnasium. Always avoid ﬂ ying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid ﬂ ying in areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards or soccer ﬁ elds. Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a location to ﬂ y your aircraft.

Wind

Hand launch Get assistance to hand launch the aircraft so that

you can give full attention to transmitter control. Hold the aircraft by the fuselage over the wings. Give a ﬁ rm underhand throw directly into the wind slightly up (5–10 degrees above the horizon) with full throttle. After the aircraft gains altitude, decrease the throttle as you desire. If you have no one to launch the aircraft with you, launch the aircraft using the hand that isn’t operating the elevator stick so that you have elevator control in the critical ﬁ rst few seconds of ﬂ ight. Once you have the Zero airborne, maintain a shallow rate of climb and allow the aircraft to gain speed before making the ﬁ rst turn. Familiarize yourself with the ﬂ ight characteristics of the Zero and practice ﬂ ying the aircraft high enough so that you can recover control if it does not respond as you desire.

Landing

Make sure to land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15 cm) or less above the runway, using a small amount of throttle for the entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft is ready to ﬂ are. During ﬂ are, keep the wings level and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to bring the aircraft down on its belly. Fully lower the throttle just before the aircraft lands to avoid propeller damage.

NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never keep the aircraft in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.

Repairs

Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA glue as other types of glue can damage the foam. When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of this manual.

NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the aircraft until accelerant fully dries.

CAUTION

Always decrease

throttle before

propeller strike.

Post Flight Checklist

1. Disconnect ﬂ ight battery from ESC (Required for safety and battery life).

2. Power off transmitter.

3. Remove ﬂ ight battery from aircraft.

4. Recharge ﬂ ight battery.

5. Store ﬂ ight battery apart from aircraft and monitor the battery charge.

6. Make note of ﬂ ight conditions and ﬂ ight plan results, planning for future ﬂ ights.

Using the Display Stand

Tip: Glue is not required for the assembly of the display, but may be used if the display will not be

disassembled.

CAUTION: Always remove the battery before displaying the model.

NOTICE: Always remove the model from the display before adjusting the display. Failure to do so may result

in damage to the model or the display.

Service of Power Components

Disassembly

CAUTION: Always disconnect the battery

before handling or adjusting the propeller or motor. Failure to do so could result in

personal injury.

Propeller

1. Remove the spinner (A) from the propeller (B). Before re-installing the spinner on the propeller,

scrape off as much excess glue as possible, making sure not to damage the propeller blades or hub. Never operate the aircraft with a damaged propeller.

2. Hold the propeller (E) stationary and use a 5mm wrench, pliers, or nut driver to remove the 2.5mm locknut (C) and washer (D). The propeller can then be removed from the motor shaft (F).

Motor and Firewall

1. Carefully remove the cowling (G) from the fuselage. Paint may hold the cowling on the fuselage. Do not use excess force as the cowling plasic is relatively thin and can tear.

2. Remove 4 screws (H) from the motor mount (I) and the fuselage.

3. Remove 2 screws (J) and the motor (K) from the motor mount. The motor magnets may attract screws to the motor.

4. Disconnect the motor wire connectors (L) from the ESC/receiver connectors.

5. Assemble in reverse order.

• Reinstall the propeller by properly fitting it onto

the motor shaft, installing the flat washer, and tightening the 2.5mm lock nut with a 5mm wrench, pliers, or nut driver.

• Align the colors of the motor wires and connect

them with the ESC wires.

• Correctly center the spinner on the propeller and

use only foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) to attach the spinner to the propeller.
