Thank you for purchasing the E-ﬂ ite® UMX™ Sbach® 342. Its 2S Li-Po, 2500Kv brushless power system is one of the most powerful ever developed for an aircraft this small. The phenomenal power-to-weight ratio it delivers is a big reason the UMX Sbach 342 ﬂ ies more like a larger scale precision aerobatic plane than a typical Ultra Micro.

The exceptional capabilities of the UMX Sbach 342 require a little more ﬁ rst-ﬂ ight preparation than you may be used to with other Bind-N-Fly

Ultra Micro aircraft.

Charging the Battery

Your Sbach 342 comes with a Celectra™ 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po Charger and 2-Cell 7.4V 180 mAh 20C LiPo battery. Please visit www.horizonhobby.com for optional battery adapters. Refer to battery warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting the aircraft. The ﬂ ight battery will be required to conﬁ rm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

The Battery Charging Process

1. Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

2. The connector of the battery is specifically designed to allow it to fit into the charge port one way to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity before proceeding to the next step.

3. Gently press the battery connector into the charge port located on the front of the charger.

4. When you make the connection successfully, the green LED blinking on the charger slows, indicating proper connection.

5. Press the button on the charger, the red LED will illuminate, indicating charging has begun.

6. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 180mAh battery takes approximately 50–60 minutes.

7. When battery is fully charged, the green LED will illuminate.

8. Always unplug the battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause a fire.

2S 7.4V 180mAh 20C

Battery Warnings

The Battery Charger (EFLUC1007) included with the Sbach 342 has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of Li-Po batteries can result in a ﬁ re, personal injury, and/or property damage.

• By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po

battery you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.

• If at any time the battery begins to balloon or

swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in ﬁ re.

• Always store the battery at room temperature in a

dry area for best results.

• Always transport or temporarily store the battery

in a temperature range of 40–120º F. Do not store

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch ﬁ re.

• Always charge batteries away from ﬂ ammable materials.

• NEVER USE AN Ni-Cd OR Ni-MH CHARGER. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause ﬁ re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage

• Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.

• Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.

• Never leave charging batteries unattended.

• Never charge batteries outside safe temperature range.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The Sbach 342 ESC protects the ﬂ ight battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supply from the motor. Power to the motor quickly decreases and increases, showing some battery power is reserved for ﬂ ight control and safe landing.

When the motor power decreases then increases, please land the aircraft immediately and recharge the ﬂ ight battery.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Before storage, charge the Li-Po battery to full capacity. During storage make sure battery charge does not go below 3V per cell.

Note: Due to the quiet nature of the aircraft, you may not hear the pulsing of the motor. Set ﬂ ight timer to 6 minutes for the included 2S 180mAh battery.

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.

Note: Any JR® or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the Spektrum AR6400NBL receiver. Due to the aerobatic capabilities of the UMX Sbach 342 it is highly recommended that you use a transmitter with adjustable exponential and dual rates. Please visit www.bindnﬂ y.com for a complete list of compatible

transmitters. Note: When using a Futaba® transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel is

required.

Binding Procedure



1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a receiver.

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

3. Power off your transmitter.

4. Connect the ﬂ ight battery in the aircraft. The receiver LED will begin to ﬂ ash rapidly. (Typically after 5 seconds).

5. Make sure transmitter controls are neutral and throttle and throttle trim are in low position.

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

7. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become solid, indicating that the receiver is bound to the transmitter. Note: If the LED does not go to a solid light, refer to Troubleshooting Guide at back of manual.

Installing Flight Battery

1 2

Remove battery hatch from nose of aircraft.

Note: If using a different battery than the included 2-Cell 7.4V 180mAh 20C Li-Po, you will need to apply a circle of hook and loop fastener to the back of the battery, opposite the side with label.

NOTICE: Always disconnect the Li-Po from the receiver of the aircraft when not ﬂ ying. Failure to do so will render the battery unusable.

Connect fully charged ﬂ ight battery to receiver.

Attach battery to tray strip and install battery hatch.

Before Flight

1 2

Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest settings.

Power on

Transmitter

Connect ﬂ ight battery and attach to hook and loop strip.

Wait 5

Seconds

Series of tones

Continuous LED

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller

in response to any throttle movement. When the aircraft does not respond, binding may be required. If throttle is fully raised when battery is connected, a musical tone will sound after 5 seconds. Disconnect

the battery immediately. NOTICE: Fully lower transmitter throttle before connecting the ﬂ ight battery. Failure to do so may alter

AR6400NBL settings. For more information about the AR6400NBL, visit www.SpektrumRC.com.

Control Direction Test

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

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

Control Centering

Before ﬁ rst ﬂ ights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the ﬂ ight control surfaces are centered. Adjust linkages mechanically if control surfaces are not centered.

Use of the transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of linear servos.

1. Make sure control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. Where possible, transmitter sub-trim must be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal of the linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to make the linkage longer.

Settings for Control Horns

The Illustrations show linkage positions chosen for the most balanced aerobatic response. Linkage connections on control horns directly affect aircraft response.

When these are incorrectly connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected aircraft response to controls can result. This can cause damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

Dual Rates and Expo

Aileron Elevator Rudder

We recommend using a DSM radio capable of dual rates and expo due to the aerobatic capabilities of the Sbach 342. The settings below are recommended starting settings. Adjust according to individual preferences after initial ﬂ ight.

Dual Rates High Rate Low Rate

Aileron 100% 70% Elevator 100% 60% Rudder 100% 70%

Expo High Rate Low Rate

Aileron 30% 20% Elevator 15% 5% Rudder 20% 10%

Note: The DX5e transmitter is not recommended for use with the Sbach 342.

NOTICE: DO NOT SET YOUR TRANSMITTER TRAVEL ADJUST OVER 100%. If the TRAVEL

ADJUST is set over 100% it will not result in more control movement; and it will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty servo.

Note: Left and right aileron servos are under the wing.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 29mm back from leading edge of the wing at the root. This CG location has been determined with the included 2S 180mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery installed in the front of the battery cavity.

Note: The oversized battery tray allows for Center of Gravity adjustment. Start by placing the battery at the rear edge of the battery tray with the plug facing the rear of the aircraft. Adjust as needed by sliding the battery back or forward. You may also turn the battery 180 degrees, bringing the plug to the front for connection. Wire length provides for either frontfacing or rear-facing battery connection.

29mm

Optional – Installation of Side Force Generators (SFGs)

SFGs add side force in all ﬂ ight attitudes, increase rudder authority and make possible a variety of aerobatics.

The two SFG sets included with the Sbach 342 provide different amounts of increased rudder control. We recommend ﬁ rst ﬂ ying the Sbach 342 without the SFGs, then with each set of SFGs to determine what is best for your ﬂ ying style. SFGs

Option 1

Option 2

shown in Option 1 provide enhanced rudder authority, while SFGs in Option 2 provide extreme rudder authority.

Slide the SFG on to the leading edge of the wing. Apply a few drops of foam-safe CA to stabilize the SFGs on the wings and to prevent them from moving in ﬂ ight.

Flying Tips and Repairs

Flying

We recommend only ﬂ ying your Sbach 342 in light winds. 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.

Place the Sbach 342 in position for takeoff (facing into the wind if ﬂ ying outdoors). Gradually increase the throttle to ¾ to full, and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently with the elevator and climb to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the ﬂ ight envelope of the Sbach 342.

Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions during a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit, which may require replacement.

The Sbach 342 is equipped with Over Current Protection (OCP). This feature protects the ESC from overheating. OCP stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set high and the propeller cannot turn. The OCP will only activate when throttle is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.

Note: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Repairs

Repair the Sbach 342 using foam-compatible CA 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.

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

If needed, keep the wheel pants from turning on the landing gear by putting a small amount of foam-safe CA glue on the end of the landing gear wire.

Always

decrease throttle at

propeller strike.

Additional Safety Precautions and Warnings

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.

This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. This interference can cause momentary loss of control so it is advisable to always keep a safe distance in all directions around your model, as this space will help avoid collisions or injury.

• Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your model to avoid collisions or injury.

• Always operate your model in open spaces away from full-size vehicles, trafﬁ c and people.
