Assembly and Operating manual VIPER
Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice of a factory
assembled model aircraft from Max-Thrust and
thank you for placing your trust in us.
Very little preparation work is required to get this
model ready to fly. To operate your new model
safely it is important that you read through all of
the instructions and safety information included
with your model, before you fly it for the first
time.
The illustrations in this manual show the model
with factory applied decals.
The Power System
The model is powered by a brushless outrunner
motor and ducted fan, both of which are pre-
installed.
The Radio Control System
To fly the Viper you will need a radio control
system with at least four channels. 2.4GHz
radios systems are recommended.
The servos for the ailerons and the elevators are
factory-installed.
The power for the receiver is drawn from the
electronic speed controller’s integral BEC
system.
The electronic speed controller is located inside
of the fuselage, in front of the ducted fan.
To check the model’s operating systems, first set
the control surface servos to neutral by setting
the trims to center and leaving throttle stick and
trim to the lowest position.
When you wish to fly the model, always make
sure the transmitter is “ON”. Move the throttle
stick to the “OFF” position as well. Then connect
the battery to the electronic speed controller.
Proceed to power down in reverse order:
disconnect the battery from the electronic speed
controller first, and then switch off the
transmitter.
Glue Joints With Suitable Adhesives
Foam safe epoxy is recommended and available
from most reputable model retail shops.
Trial-fit all parts “dry” before applying glue.
Follow the recommended curing time suggested
by the glue manufacturer. Allow the glue to fully
cure (harden) to the point where the joint can be
placed under stress.
