The DH 98 Mosquito MK VI
This outstanding replica of the Mosquito Mk VI has been engineered to fl y every bit as good as it looks. Its twin brushless motors deliver impressive speed and
climb performance that perfectly complement the smooth, balanced control response. If this is your fi rst twin motor park fl yer, you’ll fi nd the counter-rotating
propellers help make tracking during takeoff and landing rollout much easier too.
Before you launch, though, you must take a little time to read this manual. It contains important information about assembly, recommended dual rates, installation
of option parts and much more. There’s also a handy trouble shooting guide. It’s all here to make sure your fi rst fl ight, and every one after, is the best it can be.

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
transmitter to the receiver for proper operation (please visit www.bindnfl y.com
for a complete list of compatible transmitters).
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.

DSM2®/DSMX® technology equipped aircraft
Binding Procedure Reference Table
1. Read the transmitter instructions for binding to a receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2. Make sure the transmitter is powered OFF.
3. Move the transmitter controls to neutral (fl ight controls: rudder,
elevators and ailerons) or to low positions (throttle, throttle trim).*
4. Install a bind plug in the receiver bind port.
5. Connect the fl ight battery to the single connector of the ESC Yharness. The ESCs will produce a series of sounds. One long tone,
then two short tones confi rm that the LVC is set for the ESCs.
6. The receiver LED will begin to fl ash rapidly.
7. Power ON the transmitter while holding the transmitter bind
button or switch. Refer to your transmitter’s manual for binding
button or switch instructions.
8. When the receiver binds to the transmitter, the light on the
receiver will turn solid and the ESCs will produce a series of
three ascending tones. The tones indicate the ESCs are armed,
provided the throttle stick and throttle trim are low enough to
trigger arming.
9. Remove the bind plug from the bind port.
10. Safely store the bind plug (some owners attach the bind plug to
their transmitter using two-part loops and clips).
11. The receiver should retain the binding instructions received from
the transmitter until another binding is done.
* The throttle will not arm if the transmitter’s throttle control is not put at the
lowest position. If you encounter problems, follow the binding instructions
and refer to the transmitter troubleshooting guide for other instructions. If
needed, contact the appropriate Horizon Product Support offi ce.
Receiver Selection and Installation
A 4-channel or greater radio system is required for the PNP aircraft out of the
box. If optional fl aps and retracts are installed, a 6-channel or greater radio
system is required.
1. Install your park fl yer or full range receiver in the fuselage using hook and
loop tape or double-sided servo tape.
2. Attach the elevator and rudder servo connectors to the appropriate
channels of the receiver.
3. Attach the aileron Y-harness to the aileron channel of the receiver.
4. Attach the ESC connector to the throttle channel of the receiver.

Battery Installation
1. Turn the latch (A).
2. Lift the back of the battery hatch and pull backwards to remove the
battery hatch.
3. Install the fully charged battery (B) in the battery compartment with the end
of the battery against the front wall of the battery compartment. See the
Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions for more information.
4. Make sure the fl ight battery is secured using the hook and loop strap (C).
5. Reinstall the battery hatch. Push the rear of the battery hatch securely to
ensure the latch is fully engaged.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po battery from the aircraft receiver
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.
Battery Selection
• We recommend the ParkZone 2200mAh 11.1V 3S Li-Po battery (PKZ1029).
• If using another battery, the battery must be at least a
2200mAh 25C battery.
• Your battery should be approximately the same capacity, dimensions and
weight as the ParkZone Li-Po battery to fi t in the fuselage without changing
the center of gravity a large amount.

ESC and Receiver Arming
Arming the ESCs also occurs after binding as previously described, but
subsequent connection of a fl ight battery requires the steps below.
IMPORTANT: The ESCs in this aircraft arm together as a single ESC.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
1. Power ON the transmitter and lower the throttle and throttle trim to their
lowest settings.
DO NOT connect the battery while the throttle stick is at full or the ESCs will go
into programming mode. If a musical tone sounds after 5 seconds,
immediately disconnect the battery, then lower the throttle.
2. Remove the battery hatch and install the fully charged battery in the
battery compartment using the hook and loop strip, then connect the
battery to the ESC Y-harness.
3. When power is applied to the ESCs:
A) The ESCs will sound 3 tones to indicate the Low Voltage Cutoff
(LVC) is set for the connected 3-cell battery pack.
Refer to the LVC portion of the Flying Tips and Repairs section
for more information.
B) An LED will light on the receiver.

We recommend installing the E-fl ite electric retracts (optional) in the wing
before installing the wing on the fuselage.
OPTIONAL
1. Remove the tubes (A), inside struts with wheel collars (B) and screws (C)
from the fi xed left and right struts.
2. Install the wheels (D), inside struts with wheel collars, tubes, and screws
on the retract struts (E).
3. Install the included left and right retract struts in the optional retracts (F)
using the set screws (G).
4. Remove 3 screws (H), the fi xed landing gear cover (I), 4 screws (J) and the
fi xed gear mount (K) from each engine nacelle.
5. Install the retracts (L) in the wing using 8 screws (M) (4 per side) removed
from the fi xed gear mounts.
6. Connect two servo extensions (PKZ5403) (N) to the retract and push the
extension connectors through the channels in the wing and out the holes
used by the aileron connectors.
Tip: Ensure the extended landing gear wheels have no toe-in or toe-out for
proper ground handling.
7. Install the retract covers (O) on the nacelles by using the 6 screws from the
fi xed landing gear covers.
8. Connect the servo extension connectors to a Y-harness in the fuselage.
9. Connect the Y-harness to the GEAR channel of the receiver.
10. Do a control test of the retracts using your transmitter. During operation,
adjust parts so the retracts are not blocked. Tighten the screws in the
wheel collars, using threadlock when needed.
