The ElectriFly™by Great Planes FlatOut Reflection ARF is
an excellent wa y to enjo y 3D aerobatics without the cost and
headaches of giant-scale gasoline-powered models. A
couple of hours on the workbench, and your FlatOut
Reflection ARF will be ready to tackle torque rolls, walls,
harriers, high-alpha rolling circles and more! An excellent
indoor or calm-day outdoor performer, this airplane is a
virtually unlimited 3D aerobat, but flying it involves only
connecting the battery, throttling up, and letting go!

Take care to build straight and true. Misaligned parts will
decrease the airplane’s ability to perform the extreme
aerobatics it is designed for.

For the latest technical updates or manual corrections to the
FlatOut Reflection ARF visit the Great Planes web site at

www.electrifly.com

.Open the “Airplanes” link, then select the
FlatOut Reflection ARF. If there is new technical information
or changes to this model a “tech notice” box will appear in
the upper left corner of the page.

Attention: The product you have purchased
is powered by a rechargeable battery. At the
end of its useful life, under various state and
local laws, it may be illegal to dispose of this

battery into the municipal waste system.
Check with your local solid waste officials for details in your
area for recycling options or proper disposal.

This product contains a chemical known to the state of
California to cause cancer and birth defects or other
reproductive harm.

1. Even though the FlatOut Reflection ARF is small,
lightweight and flies slowly, if it is not assembled and
operated correctly it could possibly cause injury to yourself
or spectators and damage property.

2. Build the plane according to the instructions. Do not
alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an
unsafe or unflyable model.

3.Use an R/C radio system and components that are in first­class condition. The FlatOut Reflection ARF requires
specialized radio gear. Refer to

“DECISIONS YOU MUST

MAKE”

section to get an accurate description of the

specialized gear required.

4.You must properly install all R/C and other components so
that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air .

IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS

A NOTE ABOUT METRIC DIMENSIONS

Since the parts of this air plane have been designed with
metric dimensions, the metric size (in millimeters) of the
parts is listed first in the text. For convenience, we have
listed close approximations of these sizes in the English
system (inches), but be aware that these conversions are
only approximate.

CAUTION: Be aware that the FlatOut Reflection ARF is
operated on the same frequency band as larger, “regular”
R/C models. If flying your FlatOut Reflection ARF within
five miles of an R/C site, there is a real possibility that you
could be operating your model on the same frequency
(channel) as another R/C pilot. If this happens a crash will
result–with the person flying the more expensive model
suffering the greater loss (and having greater potential for
property damage or injur y). The best thing to do is to join
an R/C club and fly at the site where frequency control
measures will be in effect.If you insist on flying elsewhere

always be aware of your proximity to R/C flying sites.

INTRODUCTION

TABLE OF CONTENTS

5. You must test the operation of the model before every
flight to insure that all equipment is operating, and that the
model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check
connectors often and replace them if they show signs of
wear or fatigue.

Remember:Take your time and follow directions to end
up with a well-built model that is straight and true.

If you’re not already an AMA (Academy of Model
Aeronautics) member, we highly recommend that you join.
In addition to providing liability protection while operating
under the AMA Safety Code, the AMA is the governing body
of model aeronautics in the United States and fights for your
rights as member of the modeling community.You must also
be an AMA member to fly at R/C clubs chartered by the
AMA–most of which are.

Contact the AMA at the address or toll-free phone
number below.

In the hands of a capable pilot the FlatOut Reflection ARF is
an impressive 3D performer. But for the FlatOut Reflection
ARF to perform to its full potential, it must be properly
equipped with all the correct gear (servos, batteries,
receiver, speed control). There may be more than one type
and brand of radio equipment that can be used, but based
on extensive testing, following is the equipment we
recommend so you can get the most performance out of
your FlatOut Reflection ARF and assemble it as shown in
this instruction manual.

With a standard, four-channel radio the FlatOut is capable of
all the basic 3D maneuvers.However, some advanced pilots
who are already familiar with handling “flat foamies” may
prefer to fly the FlatOut with a computer radio capable of
endpoint adjustments (for fine-tuning control throws),
exponentials (for “softening” the throws near the center of
the travel), and various mixing functions (such as rudder-to­elevator mixing for extended knife-edge flight).

The FlatOut Reflection ARF requires three

sub-micro

servos
with a maximum weight of .3 oz [9g] each and a minimum
torque rating of 15 oz-in. [2kg-cm] Futaba®S-3108M (micro
connector) servos (FUTM0700) are ideal because they
meet the torque and weight requirements and have a micro
connector that is compatible with the Futaba

Ultra Micro

receiver. Although there may be other servos that will
physically fit in the model, those outside the recommended
weight and torque specifications will adversely affect flight
performance and are not recommend. Note: Dur ing
assembly when it’s time to mount the servos, you will be
instructed to glue them in. Do not be alar med as this is a
common practice with this type of lightweight, high­performance model. Should servo removal ever be
necessary for repair, replacement or transfer to another
model this can be done by prying them out with a hobby
knife or a small screwdriver.

The lightest, four-channel receiver is recommended and
must be compatible with whatever servos will be used (not
all servos are compatible with all receivers–e v en servos and
receivers within the same brand).The Futaba R-124F

Ultra

Micro

receiver is recommended and is compatible with the
3108M servos recommended. Note: Futaba receivers are
sold on high and low bands and come without crystals.
Following are the order numbers for the R-124F receiver
and compatible crystals:

Low Band High Band

(Channels 11-35)

(Channels 36-60)

R124F Receiver FUTL0438 FUTL0439
Crystal FUTL62** FUTL63**

**Replace the "**" in the order number for the crystals with
the preferred channel number .For example, if you want to fly
on channel 33, order a low band receiver and crystal
number FUTL6233.

The FlatOut Reflection ARF requires a 3-cell (11.1V),
350-700mAh lithium-polymer (Li-Po) battery capable of
providing 7A continuous discharge current. The ElectriFly
3-cell,

3-Series

640mAh battery pack is recommended
(GPMP0805). Note: The ElectriFly 720mAh battery is not
recommended for this model as it is not capable of
delivering the current required by this system. For optimum
performance battery weight should not exceed 2.5 oz.[54g].

An electronic speed control capable of handling a minimum of
7A continuous current is required. Additionally, the speed
control should be as light as possible. The ElectriFly C-10

Micro

High-Frequency ESC w/BEC (GPMM2010) is suitable .If
upgrading to the optional brushless motor system
recommended (below), a speed control intended for brushless
motors (a

brushless

speed control) capable of at least 8A
continuous current such as the ElectriFly BL-8 (GPMM2070)
must be used. NEVER use speed controllers intended for

brushed motors on brushless motors (and vice-versa).

A charger capable of charging 3-cell (11.1V) Li-Po batteries
such as the ElectriFly Polycharge 1–3-cell Li-Po charger
(GPMM3010) must be used. If using another charger, it
must be a Li-Po charger or have a Li-Po charge mode.
Never charge Li-Po batter ies with chargers not intended for
Li-Po batters or chargers on NiMH or NiCd settings.
Overcharging or explosion may result. In addition to the
Polycharge, the ElectriFly Triton™(GPMM3150) or Accu­Cycle Elite™(HCAP0280) is also suitable chargers.

Many chargers (including the Triton and Accu-Cycle Elite
listed above) do not include charging leads, but rather have
banana jacks to plug the leads into. If this is the case with
your charger, you will need to purchase a charge lead to
match your battery. For the recommended 640mAh pack,
the correct lead is GPMM3105.

Rest assured, the FlatOut Reflection ARF is capable of 3D
flight with the included ElectriFly “stick-mount” motor and
gearbox combination. But for pilots who always insist on
upgrading and don’t mind spending a little extra money, the
ElectriFly Rimfire 22M-1000 brushless motor (GPMG4500)
will provide increased power and flight time while
simultaneously reducing weight.Don’t forget, if upgrading to
a brushless motor, a “brushless” speed controller such as

the ElectriFly BL-8™8-Amp ESC (GPMM2070) must be
used. This kit also includes the firewall and instructions for
mounting a brushless motor.

A 10 x 3.5 propeller is included in this kit, and this propeller
offers the best performance with the included brushed motor
system.If you are upgrading to the RimFire brushless motor,
a 9 x 3.5 propeller is recommended.

Though there may be a few different types of adhesives that
the FlatOut Reflection ARF could be assembled with, we
have had the best success with, and exclusively
recommend, foam-safe CA such as 1 oz. Great Planes
Foam Safe Thick CA (GPMR3072). Regular CA is not
recommended as it will aggressively attack the foam used in
this model. In addition to being foam-compatible, foam-safe
CA is also suitable for gluing together all of the rest of the
materials (balsa, carbon) included in this kit. No other
adhesive is required to build the FlatOut Reflection ARF.

In addition to common household tools and hobby tools, this
is the “short list”of the most important items required to build
the FlatOut Reflection ARF.

Great Planes Pro™ CA and

Epoxy glue are recommended.

❏ 1. Cut the stabilizer free from the foam sheet using a

hobby knife with a sharp #11 blade. DO NOT cut the
elevator halves free at this time.

❏ 2. Following the

Expert Tip

below, use foam-safe CA and
accelerator to glue six clip hinges into the stabilizer, using the
3 x 192mm [1/8" x 7-1/2"] elevator joiner tube as a guide.

❏ 3. Remove the elevator joiner tube from the hinges.

❏ 4. Without removing the elevator halves from the foam

sheet, slide two hinge retainer rings (C3) onto the elevator
joiner tube. Align the rings with the cutout in the right
elevator half.There should be a 1/16" [1.5mm] gap between
the two rings. Secure both r ings to the tube with a drop of
glue on the outside of the gap.

❏ 5. Using the

Expert Tip

that follows, permanently join the

elevator halves by gluing in the elevator joiner tube.

C. One at a time, coat the sides of the rest of the hinges
and glue them into the slots.

A. Snap all of the hinges onto the carbon tube. Align the
hinges with the slots.

B. Coat both sides of one hinge with foam-safe CA where
it contacts the sides of the hinge slot. Rotate the hinge
down into the slot. Be certain the top and bottom of the
hinge remains flush with the top and bottom of the control
surface you are hinging. IMPORTANT: Avoid getting any
CA on the tube or the arms of the clips. The clips must
rotate freely on the tube.

The clip-hinge system provides a precision, free-moving
hinge. Always use this method when instructed to install
clip hinges.

❏ 7. Join the elevators to the stab by snapping the clip

hinges to the joiner tube.

❏ 8. Inser t a Z-bend clevis (A1) into a clip-hinge control

horn (C1).

❏ 9. Clip the control horn onto the joiner tube aligned with

the precut slot.

❏ 10.Coat the gluing area on the control horn with glue and

rotate it down into the precut slot.

A. Using a sharp #11 hobby knife, remove any flashing
from the inside of the hole you are installing the Z-bend
clevis into. Do this by rotating the blade in the hole while
applying gentle pressure. Be careful not to remove too
much material–your goal here is to remove small ridges of
flashing, not to make the hole larger.

B. Snap the Z-bend clevis into place.

HOW TO INSTALL Z-BEND CLEVISES

Note: You may want to protect your work surface from

excess glue.We recommend the use of Great Planes Plan
Protector (GPMR6167) for this purpose.

A. Cut several 38mm [1-1/2"] pieces of cellophane tape.
Fold the last 6mm [1/4"] ov er to make a tab f or easy removal.

B. Lightly coat the leading edges of the elevators with
foam-safe CA–do not use an e xcessiv e amount of .Hint: A
CA applicator tip is recommended to accurately control
the bead of glue.

C. Tape the tube to the leading edge of the elevators.
Weight the assembly down on a flat surface to prevent
warping and allow the glue to harden without accelerator.

D. Once the glue has hardened, remove the tape.

HOW T O GLUE THE TUBES TO

THE CONTROL SURFACES

❏ 1. Cut the upper and lower vertical fuselage halves

and the right and left horizontal fuselage halves free from
their foam sheets.If using the gearbox included with this kit,
or any other type of “stick-mount” gearbox, cut-out the
section shown from the bottom vertical fuselage half.

❏ 2. Glue the 5.5 x 248mm [7/32" x 9-3/4"] fuselage tube

doubler over the 3 x 665mm [1/8" x 26-3/16"] fuselage
tube. One end should be flush. From now on, this assembly
will be referred to as the fuselage tube.

❏ 3.Slide a fuselage joiner (E2), two fuselage servo mounts

(F3), and another fuselage joiner onto the fuselage tube. With

the tube doubler forward, the front servo mount should hang
down with its flat surface on the left, and the rear servo mount
should point up with its flat surface on the right.

❏ 4.Position the servo mounts and fuselage joiners so that the y

align with the precut slots in the upper vertical fuselage half.

❏ 5.Glue the fuselage tube to the upper vertical fuselage half.

❏ 6.Glue the left and right horizontal fuselage halves to the

fuselage tube. Make sure they are perpendicular to the
upper vertical fuselage.

❏ 7. Glue the stabilizer into position with the leading edge

of the stab butted against the rear fuselage joiner. Align the
notches in the stab with the fuselage tube.

❏ 8. Glue the lower ver tical fuselage half to the fuselage

tube. Make sure to keep it parallel with the upper half and
perpendicular to the horizontal fuselage.

Assemble the Fuselage

❏ 9. Install a Z-bend clevis (A1) into a clip hinge control

horn (C1). Using the 3 x 145mm [1/8" x 5-11/16"] rudder
post tube as a guide, glue three clip hinges and the clip
hinge control horn to the rudder.

❏ 10. Snap the tailwheel (D4) into the tailwheel bracket

(D5) and slide the tailwheel bracket onto the 3 x 20mm [1/8"

x 3/4"] tailwheel tube. Glue this assembly into the slot in
the rudder.

❏ 11.Slide two hinge retainer rings (C3) onto the top of the

rudder post. Align the rings with the slot in the TE of the
fuselage. Secure each ring with a drop of glue on the outside.
Glue the rudder post tube to the TE of the vertical fuselage.

❏ 12. Snap the rudder onto the rudder post.

❏ 1. Cut the wings and all four ailerons free from the foam

sheet. Identify the top and bottom wings. The bottom wing
has the aileron servo bay.

❏ 2. Following the

Expert Tip

previously described, use a
3 x 700mm [1/8" x 27-9/16"] wing trailing edge tube as a
guide to glue hinges into the slots in two of the ailerons.
These will be the top ailerons.

❏ 3.Insert offset Z-bend clevises(A2) into opposing sides

of two clip-hinge stand alone control horns (B1).

❏ 4. Using the

Expert Tip

previously described, use a 3 x
700mm [1/8" x 27.5"] wing trailing edge tube as a guide to
glue hinges and one control horn each into two of the

Assemble the Wing

10

ailerons.The control horns should protrude from the bottom
of the ailerons (red and white side), and the offset Z-bend
clevises should be on the outboard sides of the horns. Glue
a control surface brace (E1) onto the roots of these two
ailerons. Remove the tube once the CA has hardened.
These will be the bottom ailerons.

❏ 5.Install a Z-bend clevis (A1) into each of the f our aileron

link horns (C4).

❏ 6. Glue the aileron link horns into the slots in the TEs of

the ailerons. The Z-bend clevises (A2) should be on the
outboard side of the ailerons.

❏ 7. Slide four hinge retainer rings (C3) onto each of the

wing trailing edge tubes.Position the rings so that they align
with the inner slots in the TE of the wings. Secure each
retainer with a drop of glue on the outside of the gap.

❏ 8. Glue the trailing edge tubes to the TEs of the wings.

❏ 9. Glue the 3 x 328mm [1/8" x 12-15/16"] wing leading

edge tubes to the LEs of the wings.

❏ 10. Locate twelve rod supports (D2). In the following

steps note six of the supports will be used for the main
landing gear and six of the supports will be used for the wing
struts at the trailing edge of the wing, but all of the supports
are exactly the same.

❏ 11. Installing them down through the top of the top wing,

glue four supports into the slots in both sides of the top wing.
Two of the suppor ts are at the leading edge (for the landing
gear) and two are at the trailing edge (for the wing struts).

IMPORTANT: The holes in the supports must be angled
upward and outward (matching the angle of the landing

gear and the wing struts). This means that when viewed
from the top, the holes in each of the supports will be toward
the tips of the wing.

IMPORTANT!!! Before gluing in any of the supports, be
certain to read the steps all the way through so you will
understand how the supports go in.

11

❏ 12. Installing them from the bottom of the bottom wing,

glue four supports into the slots in both sides of the top wing.
Two of the suppor ts are at the leading edge (for the landing
gear) and two are at the trailing edge (for the wing struts).
IMPORTANT: The holes in the supports must be angled
downward and outward (matching the angle of the landing
gear and the wing struts). This means that when viewed
from the bottom, the holes in each of the supports will be
toward the tips of the wing. The last four supports will be
installed in the next section.

❏ 1. Glue the top and bottom wings to the vertical fuselage.

Use the slots in the LE and TE of the wings to align the
wings with the fuselage.

❏ 2. Installing them from the left side, glue two more

supports into the slots in the fuselage. Note that and that the
holes in the supports should be angled downward and
outward (again, to accommodate the angles of the landing
gear and the struts). Glue the remaining two supports into
the right side of the fuselage. Be cer tain that the holes are
angled correctly.

❏ 3. Slide the 2 x 358mm [5/64" x 14-1/16" ] landing g ear

legs through the landing gear supports in the front of the wings

and fuselage. Ensure that the wings are parallel with the stab
and horizontal fuselage and perpendicular to the vertical
fuselage. Once satisfied with alignment, secure the landing
gear legs with a drop of glue on both sides of each joint.

❏ 4. Slide the 2 x 212mm [5/64" x 8-5/16"] wing struts

through both sets of supports in the back of the wing and
fuselage. Make sure that the TEs of the wings are aligned
with the LEs, and secure the struts with a drop of glue on
both sides of each joint.

❏ 5. Glue the interplane struts between the wings, using

the precut slots and tabs for alignment.

Final Assembly

12

❏ 6.Glue the inner wheel pants to the outer wheel pants.

Make sure to make one left and one right wheel pant.

❏ 7.Assemble the axle supports (D1), axles, wheels, and

wheel collars (D6) to make two landing gear assemblies.

Secure the wheel collar and axle support with a drop of glue.

❏ 8. Slide the landing gear assemblies onto the landing

gear legs. Align the wheels with the centerline, and secure
the axle supports with a drop of glue.

❏ 9. Glue the wheel pants to the wheel collars, keeping the

bottom of the wheel pants aligned with the bottom of the wing.

❏ 10. Snap the ailerons onto the wing TE.

❏ 1.Remove the stoc k servo arms from all three of the servos.
❏ 2. Refer to the parts layout diagram in the front of the

manual and select the correct spline size for the servos you
will be using.There are three sizes to choose from:

Servo Arm A Hitec HS-55, Hitec HS-50, Futaba 3108M
Servo Arm B Futaba S3103, Airtronics 94091
Servo Arm C JR 241

❏ 3. Glue the rudder servo into the rear servo mount in the

right side of the fuselage.The output shaft should be forward.

❏ 4.Glue the elevator servo into the front servo mount in the

left side of the fuselage.The output shaft should be forward.

Radio Setup

13

❏ 5. Glue the aileron servo into a wing servo mount and

glue the assembly into the bottom of the bottom wing with
the output shaft toward the rear.

❏ 6. Cut a small hole in the fuselage to allow the elevator

servo wire to pass through to the left side of the fuselage.
pass the rudder servo wire down through the hole that the
rear wing struts pass through. Connect the servos to the
receiver and mount the receiver to the fuselage with doub le­sided foam tape. Power up the radio system and center all
three servos.

❏ 7. Insert two Z-bend clevises (A1) into a double-sided

servo arm that fits your servo. Install the ser vo arm on the

aileron servo in the position shown.

❏ 8.Install a Z-bend clevis (A1) into a single-sided servo arm

that fits your elevator servo. Install the arm onto the elevator
servo so that it is straight down with the servo centered.

❏ 9.Install a Z-bend clevis (A1) into a single-sided servo arm

that fits your rudder servo. Install the arm onto the elevator
servo so that it is straight up with the servo centered.

❏ 10. Using an Easy-Touch bar sander with 220-grit

sandpaper, sharpen the ends of all the 1mm [3/64"] carbon
pushrods. This will make them much easier to install
through the Z-bend clevises.

❏ 11.Slide two 1 x 90mm [3/64" x 3-1/2"] aileron pushr ods

through the clevises in the aileron horns and servo arms.
Adjust the clevises until the ailerons are centered with the
servo centered. When you have the alignment correct,
secure the pushrods with a drop of glue where the pushrod
enters the clevis.Keep glue away from the end of the clevis
where it pivots in the arm or horn.

14

❏ 12. Slide a 1 x 149mm [3/64" x 5-7/8"] aileron link

pushrod into the clevises on each set of aileron link horns.

Adjust the clevises until each set of ailerons are parallel.
When you have the alignment correct, secure the pushrods
with a drop of glue where the pushrod enters the clevis.
Keep glue away from the end of the clevis where it pivots in
the horn.

❏ 13. Slide two pushrod supports onto the elevator

pushrod 1 x 320mm [3/64" x 12-9/16"] and slide the

pushrod through the clevises on the elevator servo arm and
control horn. Adjust the clevises until the elevator is
centered with the servo centered.Secure the clevises with a
drop of glue on each clevis where the pushrod enters it.

❏ 14.Using the pushrod as a guide, drill two evenly-spaced

2.4mm [3/32"] holes through the fuselage for the pushrod
guides. Glue the base of each pushrod guide into the holes.

❏ 15. Install the 1 x 380mm [3/64" x 15"] rudder pushrod

the same way.

❏ 16.Drill two 1.5mm [1/16"] holes through the fuselage where

shown.“Stitch” the receiver antenna through these holes.

If mounting the included stick-mounted motor and gearbox
or an aftermarket geared brushless system, then follow the
instructions in this section. If mounting a firewall-mounted
motor system, proceed to “

Firewall-Mounted Motor

System”

on page 17.

❏ 1. The 10 x 10 x 27mm [13/32" x 13/32" x 1-1/16"]

hardwood motor mount block must be mounted in the
correct orientation. Identify the top, aft end of the block as
shown in the sketch so you will kno w how it is to be installed.

Mount the Motor & Gearbox

15

❏ 2.Slide the motor mount block over the fuselage tube.Be

certain the block is in the correct position so there will be
down and right thrust. Glue the motor mount block onto the
fuselage tube.

❏ 3. If using the included propeller, install the prop saver

onto the gearbox shaft with the large-diameter cone forw ard.
If using a GWS prop, install the prop saver with the small­diameter cone forward. Tighten the screws, making sure
they engage the flat spots on the shaft. Slide the
motor/gearbox assembly over the motor mount block.

❏ 4. Drill a 1.5mm [1/16"] pilot hole at an angle from the top

of the gearbox through the balsa block and carbon tubes.
Make sure the motor mount block does not rotate while
drilling. Secure the gearbox and block with a 2 x 8mm [3/32"
x 5/16"] wood screw.

❏ 5. If using the included prop, insert the larger of the two

adapter rings (included in the propeller packaging) into the
rear of the propeller hub.

❏ 6. Mount the prop to the prop saver with one of the

included O-rings.

❏ 7. Connect your speed control to the motor and receiver.

Mount the speed control to the bottom of the left horizontal
fuselage with double-sided foam tape. Cut small holes for the
ESC’s battery wire to cross to the top right side of the fuselage.

❏ 8. Install the “hook” side of the included hook-and-loop

material to the left side of the fuselage where shown.This is
where you will mount the battery.

16

Use the following instructions if you are installing a
firewall-mounted motor system, such as the ElectriFly
RimFire outrunner.

❏ 1. If you have previously remov ed the nose section of the

bottom vertical fuselage, glue it back into place.

❏ 2. Cut the nose doublers from their foam sheets. Glue

the doublers for the vertical fuselage into position first, then
glue the doublers for the horizontal fuselage into position.

❏ 3. Use a 220-grit bar sander to lightly sand the front of

the fuselage even. Be careful not to change the built-in
thrust angles.

❏ 4. If installing an ElectriFly RimFire motor, glue the

included 3mm [1/8"] plywood firewall to the nose so that the
center hole is centered on the fuselage tube. Note: If
installing another brand of outrunner motor, you will need to
cut your own firewall to match its mount pattern. The motor
and firewall should be mounted so that the thrustline is
centered on the fuselage tube.

❏ 5. Mount the motor using the hardware and instructions

that came with your motor.

❏ 6. Mount the propeller using the hardware and instructions

that came with your motor.

❏ 7. Install your ESC as instructed in steps 7-8 of the stick-

mount installation section above.

Firewall-Mounted Motor System

17

❏ 1. Attach the “loop” side of the hook-and-loop material to

the battery. Mount the battery to the fuselage.

❏ 2. For safety, remove the propeller while performing

bench setup. Once you have finished setting up your
airplane, you can reinstall it.

❏ 3. Lower the throttle stick all the way and turn on the

transmitter.Connect your battery to the ESC.If the ESC has
a BEC switch, turn it on.

❏ 4. Check all the control surfaces to see if they are

centered. Since you set the center points as you set up the
linkages, they should already be very close.Use the trims on
the transmitter to center the controls.

❏ 5. Make cer tain that the control surfaces and the motor

respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram.To
operate the motor, you may have to “arm” your ESC.Follow
the instructions that came with your ESC to do this.If any of
the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos connected
to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces have
remained centered. Adjust if necessary.

To simplify setup, the high-rate (3D) control throws for this
model are automatically set by the geometry of the included
hardware. We do recommend, however, that you perform a
quick check as described below to make sure the thro ws are
set up correctly.

Note: If your radio has the capability, low-rates will make it
easier to perform precision aerobatics. We recommend 40%
endpoints for all low-rate throws. If your radio does not have
low-rates, setup the plane using only the high-rate throws.

Additionally, you ma y w ant to use the e xponential function to
soften the control response around center.This is largely a
matter of personal taste, but helps many pilots balance the
extreme throws needed for 3D flying with the need to make
small corrections when in normal flight.

We recommend setting up your airplane according to the
following table as a

starting point

.Use the Angle Templates
at the back of the manual to verify that you are in the
ballpark. However, setting up models of this type is largely a
matter of personal taste. We encourage you to tune the
throws to your taste as you get more familiar with the
aircraft.Many expert 3D fliers choose to increase their high­rate travel by using higher endpoints.

If you are not able to achieve these control throws, double­check your pushrod hookup and make sure any control
surfaces in question are operating smoothly. If you have a
computer radio also make sure your endpoint adjustments
are properly set.

At this stage the model should be in ready-to-fly condition
with all of the systems in place including the motor, the
propeller, the battery, and the radio system.

❏ 1.Use a felt-tip pen or 3mm [1/8"]-wide tape to accurately

mark the C.G. on the bottom of the top wing on both sides
of the fuselage.The C.G. is located 70mm [2-3/4"] back from
the leading edge of the wing at the fuselage.

❏ 2. With all parts of the model installed, including the

battery (ready to fly) lift it right side up on your fingertips at
the balance point you marked.

❏ 3. If the tail drops, the model is “tail heavy” and the

battery pack and/or receiver must be shifted forward or
weight must be added to the nose to balance. If the nose
drops, the model is “nose heavy” and the battery pack
and/or receiver must be shifted aft or weight must be added
to the tail to balance.If possible, relocate the battery pack on
the hook-and-loop strip to minimize or eliminate any
additional ballast required. If additional weight is required,
begin by placing incrementally increasing amounts of weight
on the bottom of the fuse until the model balances. Once

you have determined the amount of weight required, it can
be permanently attached.

❏ 4. IMPORTANT: If you found it necessary to add any

weight, recheck the C.G.after the weight has been installed.

❏ 1. With the wing level, lift the model by the engine

propeller shaft and the bottom of the fuse under the TE of
the fin. Do this several times.

❏ 2.If one wing always drops when you lift the model, it means

that side is heavy. Balance the airplane by adding weight to the
other wing tip. An airplane that has been laterally balanced

will track better in loops and other maneuvers.

No matter if you fly at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or if
you fly somewhere on your own, you should always have
your name, address, telephone number and AMA number
on your model.It is required at all AMA R/C club flying sites
and AMA sanctioned flying events.Write this information on
the bottom of the wing with a fine felt-tip pen.

Follow the battery charging instructions that came with your
radio control system to charge the batteries.You should always
charge your transmitter batteries the night before you go flying,
and at other times as recommended by the radio manuf acturer.

Charge the flight battery using a charger designed for
Lithium-Polymer batteries. Charging with any other type of
charger is very dangerous, and may cause the batteries to
combust violently.

CAUTION: Unless the instructions that came with your
radio system state differently, the initial charge on new
transmitter batteries should be done for 15 hours using
the slow-charger that came with the radio system.This
will “condition” the batter ies so that the next charge may
be done using the fast-charger of your choice.If the initial
charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries may not
reach their full capacity and you may be flying with
batteries that are only partially charged.

Charge the Batteries

Identify Y our Model

PREFLIGHT

Balance the Model Laterally

This is where your model should balance for the first
flights. Later, you may wish to experiment by shifting the
C.G. up to 13mm [1/2"] forward or 13mm [1/2"] back to
change the flying characteristics. Moving the C.G. forward
may improve the smoothness and stability, but the model
may then require more speed for tak eoff and mak e it more
difficult to slow for landing or 3D aerobatics. Moving the
C.G. aft makes the model more maneuverable, but could
also cause it to become too difficult to control.In any case,
start at the recommended balance point. As with the
throws, though, we encourage you to experiment with the
CG until the model flies to your taste.

More than any other factor, the C.G. (balance point) can
have the greatest effect on how a model flies, and may
determine whether or not your first flight will be
successful. If you value this model and wish to enjoy it for
many flights, DO NOT OVERLOOK THIS IMPORTANT
PROCEDURE. A model that is not proper ly balanced will
be unstable and possibly unflyable.

Balance the Model (C.G.)

19

Ground check the operational range of your r adio before the
first flight of the day. With the transmitter antenna collapsed
and the receiver and transmitter on, you should be able to
walk at least 50 feet away from the model and still have
control. Have an assistant stand by your model and, while
you work the controls, tell you what the control surfaces are
doing. Repeat this test with the motor running at various
speeds with an assistant holding the model, using hand
signals to show you what is happening. If the control
surfaces do not respond correctly, do not fly! Find and
correct the problem first.Look for loose servo connections or
broken wires, corroded wires on old servo connectors, poor
solder joints in your battery pack or a defective cell, or a
damaged receiver crystal from a previous crash.

Keep your f ace and body as w ell as all spectators a wa y from
the plane of rotation of the propeller whenever the battery
is connected.

Keep these items away from the prop: loose clothing, shir t
sleeves, ties, scarfs, long hair or loose objects such as
pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out of shirt or jacket
pockets into the prop.

Read and abide by the following excerpts from the Academy
of Model Aeronautics Safety Code.For the complete Safety
Code refer to

Model Aviation

magazine, the AMA web site or

the Code that came with your AMA license.

GENERAL

1) I will not fly my model aircraft in sanctioned events, air
shows, or model flying demonstrations until it has been
proven to be airworthy by having been previously,
successfully flight tested.

2) I will not fly my model aircraft higher than approximately
400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the
airport operator .I will give right-of-wa y and av oid flying in the
proximity of full-scale aircraft.Where necessary, an observer
shall be utilized to supervise flying to avoid having models
fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft.

3) Where established, I will abide by the safety rules for the
flying site I use, and I will not willfully and deliberately fly my
models in a careless, reckless and/or dangerous manner.

5) I will not fly my model unless it is identified with my name
and address or AMA number, on or in the model.Note: This
does not apply to models while being flown indoors.

7) I will not operate models with pyrotechnics (any device
that explodes, burns, or propels a projectile of any kind).

RADIO CONTROL

1) I will have completed a successful radio equipment ground
check before the first flight of a new or repaired model.

2) I will not fly my model aircraft in the presence of
spectators until I become a qualified flier, unless assisted b y
an experienced helper.

3) At all flying sites a straight or curved line(s) must be
established in front of which all flying takes place with the
other side for spectators.Only personnel involv ed with flying
the aircraft are allowed at or in the front of the flight line.

currently allowed by the F ederal Communications Commission.

5) I will not knowingly operate my model within three

miles of any pre-existing flying site except in
accordance with the frequency sharing agreement
listed [in the complete AMA Safety Code].

9) Under no circumstances may a pilot or other person touch
a powered model in flight; nor should any part of the

model other than the landing gear, intentionally touch
the ground, except while landing.

❏ 1. Check the C.G. according to the measurements

provided in the manual.

❏ 2. Be certain the battery and receiver are securely

mounted on the fuse.

❏ 3. Extend your receiver antenna and make sure it

cannot get tangled in the prop.

❏ 4. Balance your model

laterally

as explained in

the instructions.

❏ 5. Make sure all hinges are securely glued in place.
❏ 6. Confirm that all controls operate in the correct direction

and the throws are set up according to the manual.

During the last few moments of preparation your mind may
be elsewhere anticipating the excitement of the first flight.
Because of this, you may be more likely to overlook certain
checks and procedures that should be performed before the
model is flown.To help avoid this, a check list is provided to
make sure these important areas are not overlooked. Many
are covered in the instruction manual, so where appropriate,
refer to the manual for complete instructions. Be sure to
check the items off as they are completed.

❏ 7. Make sure any servo wiring does not interfere with

other systems (servo arms, pushrods, etc.).

❏ 8. Place your name, address, AMA number and

❏ 9. If you wish to photograph your model, do so before

your first flight.

❏ 10. Range check your radio when you get to the flying site.

The FlatOut Reflection ARF is a great-flying model that flies
smoothly and predictably. The FlatOut Reflection ARF does
not, however, possess the self-recovery characteristics of a
primary R/C trainer and should be flown only by experienced
R/C pilots.

For the first flight, it is a good idea to have an assistant
launch the airplane for you. This allows you to keep your
hands on the controls and immediately correct any trim
problems that are present.

Have your friend hold the FlatOut Reflection ARF by the
canopy.Throttle up to full power, and giv e the plane a gentle ,
underhanded toss at about a 30° angle upward. Since the
FlatOut Reflection ARF has a very high thrust-to-weight
ratio, the plane will accelerate to flying speed almost
instantly. Climb to a comfortable height and throttle back to
a lower power setting. This plane flies great at about half­throttle when in standard forward flight.

Once you have the model trimmed out, the FlatOut Reflection
ARF is very capable of ROG (rise-off-ground) takeoffs from a
smooth surface (parking lot, runway, gym floor, etc.). To take
off, start by advancing the throttle to about two-thirds, making
sure to correct any torque reactions with rudder.The plane will
build flying speed almost instantly due to its high thrust-to
weight ratio.Once the tail comes up, gently apply up elevator
to break ground and climb out. Full throttle takeoffs are
necessary only for extremely short runways.

When flying a 3D aerobat like the FlatOut Reflection ARF,
there are several things you should always keep in mind.
First is throttle management–this airplane has enough
power to climb straight up at full throttle, so level flight is
more comfortably achieved at about half-throttle. Avoid
extremely high-speed flight with the FlatOut Reflection
ARF–it is designed for slow 3D aerobatics, and extended
full-throttle dives can result in wing flutter.While flutter won’t

destroy the airplane, it’s best to a v oid it.Second, take it easy
on the control sticks–with 3D throws, even a small stick
deflection can result in a big response, so be gentle (unless
of course you’re performing an aggressive maneuver).

Because this model is extremely lightweight, it slows rapidly
without power , and perf orming standard gliding landings can
be difficult. Instead, land the model under power, with a
rolling 3-point landing as the goal. To achieve this, perform
your landing approach with the model in the 3-point attitude
(nose up at such an angle that all three wheels are level).
Modulate your descent with the throttle, and use a quick
“blip”of power just before touchdown to slow the descent f or
a gentle landing.

Have a ball! But always stay in control and fly in a
safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!
