Introduction
The ELEKTRO-ROOKIE QR is an RC model aircraft designed expressly for the newcomer to model flying, and offers a superb performance in the air. For safety reasons
the model’s all-up weight should not exceed 850 g.
RC system accessories (not included)
GRAUPNER MX-12 HoTT 2.4 COMPUTER SYSTEM Order No. 33112
Assembling the model
To remove the canopy (2) grasp it by both sides at the rear, and pull it up and off.
The photo shows the canopy (2), removed from the fuselage (1). if the retainer clip
grips too strongly for comfort, bend the two claws outwards, working gently and
evenly.
First connect the elevator pushrod to the outer hole in the elevator horn, then place
the tailplane (3) on the fin and fit the countersunk screw (4) to hold it in position. You
will need a suitable cross-point screwdriver for this; the tool is not included in the
pack.

Installing the receiving system
The illustration shows the HoTT receiver (not included) installed above the rudder
servo using the Velcro tape (8) and (9). Route the receiver aerials through the fuselage opening above the speed controller. We recommend the following receiver
channel assignment: connect the speed controller to receiver socket I, the left aileron
servo to socket II, the elevator servo to socket III, the rudder servo to socket IV, the
right-hand aileron servo to socket V. Coil up the servo leads next to the receiver, so
that they cannot obstruct the servo output arms when they move. Connect the 100
mm servo extension leads (10) to sockets II and V.
The receiving system is switched on by plugging in the LiPo battery (11), i.e. by
connecting the G3.5 plugs and sockets as shown above. Bind the receiver to the
transmitter using the procedure outlined in the manual supplied with your RC system.
Check the direction of motor rotation: if the propeller spins clockwise when viewed
from the tail, disconnect the push-button (bottom of picture) from the speed controller.
Installing the wing
Slip the servo leads through the appropriate channel in the fuselage (1) as shown in
the picture; this is easier if you use a pair of tweezers or small pliers.
