Charging Warnings

The Battery Charger (EFLUC1007) included with your aircraft 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 fire, 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 (5–49° C). Do not store the 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.

• Always inspect the battery before charging.

• Always disconnect the battery after charging, and

let the charger cool between charges.

• Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging.

• ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a 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 recommended levels.

• Never charge damaged batteries.

• Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.

Battery Charging

Your aircraft comes with a 2S 7.4V 150mAh 45C Li-Po battery and a 2S 7.4V DC Li-Po battery charger that requires a 12V (11V–14V) DC power source.

Refer to the charging warnings. It is recommended to charge the battery pack while you are inspecting the aircraft. The flight battery will be required to confirm proper aircraft operation in future steps.

Battery Charging Process

NOTICE: 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.

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

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

Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 150mAh battery takes approximately 20–30 minutes at the charger’s 300mA charge rate. The included battery can be charged at a rate of up to 3C (600mA).

2S 7.4V 150mAh 45C

Lithium Polymer Battery

Always disconnect the ﬂ ight battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

CAUTION: Overcharging a battery can cause

a ﬁ re.

CAUTION: Only use a charger speciﬁ cally

designed to charge this Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in ﬁ re, causing injury or property damage.

CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended

charge rate.

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 decreases, 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. Failure to unplug 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.

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

Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Binding is the process of programming the receiver to recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identiﬁ er) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ 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.

Binding Procedure



CAUTION: When using a Futaba transmitter with a Spektrum DSM® module, you must reverse the

throttle channel and rebind. Refer to your Spektrum module manual for binding and failsafe instructions. Refer to your Futaba transmitter manual for instructions on reversing the throttle channel.

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 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 the transmitter controls are neutral and the 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 turn 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.

ESC/Receiver Arming, Battery Installation and Center of Gravity

CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the

propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.

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

AS3X

The AS3X throttle stick or trim is increased for the first time. Once active, the control surfaces may move rapidly and noisily on the aircraft. This is normal. AS3X technology will remain active until the battery is disconnected.

1. Remove the battery hatch from the fuselage

2. Attach the battery to the hook and loop strip

system will not activate until the

using the tab.

so the battery end opposite the connectors aligns with the leading edge of the wing.

Center of Gravity (CG)

At the wing root, measure the CG location 50mm back from the leading edge of the wing.

50mm

3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim to the lowest settings on your transmitter. Power on your transmitter, then wait 5 seconds.

4. Connect the battery to the ESC, noting proper polarity. Keep the plane immobile and away from wind for 5 seconds to allow the AS3X system to initialize. A series of tones and a continuous LED indicates a successful connection.

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.

1-2-3-4-5 Sec.

Side Force Generators (SFGs) Installation

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

1. Slide each SFG in the respective channel on the leading edge of the wing.

NOTICE: Install the SFGs vertically on the wing. Failure to install the SFGs at a 90º angle may result in incorrect ﬂ ight performance.

2. Apply a few drops of foam-safe CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) to stabilize an SFG on the wing and to prevent it from moving in flight.

Landing Gear Installation

1. Push together the legs of the main gear strut.

2. Insert the top of the strut into the slot in the bottom of the fuselage so with the wheels raked foreward as shown.

When needed, disassemble in reverse order.

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.

Page 9

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. 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 the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. The transmitter sub-trim must always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the

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

Control Horn Settings

The illustration shows linkage positions chosen for the most aerobatic response. Linkage connections on the control horns directly affect aircraft response.

CAUTION: 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.

Centering Controls After First Flights For best performance with AS3X, it is important

that excessive trim is not used. If the aircraft re-

quires excessive transmitter trim (4 or more clicks of trim per channel), return the transmitter trim to zero and adjust the linkages mechanically so that the control surfaces are in the ﬂ ight trimmed position.

Dual Rates and Expos

To obtain the best ﬂ ight performance, we recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable of adjustable Dual Rates and Expo. The suggested settings shown here are the recommended starting settings. Adjust according to the individual preferences after the initial ﬂ ight.

For activation and deactivation of Expo in the DX4e and DX5e, refer to the next section.

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, it will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

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

DX4e and DX5e Expo Activation and Deactivation

If you plan to ﬂ y your aircraft with a DX4e or DX5e, activate Expo for the best feel. Disconnect the battery from the aircraft before activating the Expo feature in your transmitter.

Once Expo is activated, it will remain activated for subsequent power cycles of the transmitter. Once Expo is deactivated, it will remain deactivated until it is activated again.

DX4e (Modes 1 and 2)

Activate and Deactivate Expo

1. Put the ACT switch in the down position (ON) and the Rate switch in the down position (LO).

2. Push and hold the trainer (bind) button and move and hold the two sticks (as shown here) for activation (A) or deactivation (B), while powering on the transmitter.

3. Release the trainer switch and the control sticks only after a series of tones sound (ascending tones for activation, descending tones for deactivation).

DX5e (Modes 1 and 2)

Activate and Deactivate Expo

1. Hold the aileron trim switch to the right for activation (C) or to the left for deactivation (D), while powering on the transmitter.

2. Release the aileron trim switch after a series of tones sound, (ascending tones for activation, descending tones for deactivation).

Flying Tips and Repairs

We recommend ﬂ ying your aircraft outside in no greater than moderate winds, or indoors 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.

Takeoff

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

Failure to lower the throttle stick

CAUTION

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.

This aircraft is equipped with Over Current Protection (OCP).

Always

decrease throttle at

propeller strike.

This feature protects the ESC from overheating. OCP stops the motor when the transmitter throttle is set too high and the propeller cannot turn. The OCP will only activate when the throttle stick is positioned just above 1/2 throttle. After the ESC stops the motor, fully lower the throttle to re-arm the ESC.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Quique’s Propeller Balancing Tip NOTICE: If the propeller is not balanced, the

aircraft may vibrate, causing the aircraft to operate incorrectly and/or decrease the life of the servos.

Before making any adjustments, always ensure the propeller has come to a complete stop and the throttle and throttle trim are fully lowered.

NOTICE: Always use eye protection while balancing a propeller or injury can result.

1. Typical propeller balancers may not yield satisfactory results on small propellers. Instead, test for vibration by carefully holding the aircraft fuselage behind the wings while increasing the throttle on your transmitter.

2. If you feel vibration, apply a small piece of clear tape (approximately 20mm by 6mm, depending on the thickness) evenly across the propeller blade’s leading edge.

3. Test for vibration. Move the tape to the other blade or remove tape in small amounts until you decrease vibration to your satisfaction.

Repairs

Repair the aircraft using foam-compatible CA (cyanoacrylate adhesive) or clear tape. Only use foam-compatible CA, 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 end of this manual.

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

IMPORTANT: The cellophane on the bottom of the wing may show wrinkles. Wrinkles vary with the passage of time. Wrinkles do not change the aircraft’s ﬂ ight performance.

NOTICE: When you are ﬁ nished ﬂ ying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
