Preflight Checklist

1. Charge flight battery.
2. Install flight battery in aircraft
(once it has been fully
charged).
3. Bind aircraft to transmitter.
4. Make sure linkages move
freely.
5. Perform Control Direction
Test with transmitter.
6. Adjust center of gravity.
7. Perform a radio system
Range Check.
8. Find a safe and open area.
9. Plan flight for flying field
conditions.
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 flight
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 flight battery.
Always disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the
aircraft after each flight. 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 first flights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch
to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights
once you have flown the model. Flights of 7 minutes are
achievable if using proper throttle management.
NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC will damage the battery.
Binding Procedure
1. Refer to your transmitter’s unique instructions for binding to a
receiver (location of transmitter’s Bind control).
2. Make sure the flight battery is disconnected from the aircraft.
3. Power off the transmitter.
4. Bind the AR6310 receiver to a DSM2/DSMX transmitter by
shorting the bind pins (A) with tweezers, a hemostat or small
needle-nose pliers. Metal to metal contact is needed to com-
plete the circuit. Do not bend the bind pins.
5. Connect the flight battery to the aircraft. Short the pins until
the receiver LED begins to flash rapidly (typically after 5
seconds).
6. Ensure that control surface trims are centered and the throttle
and throttle trims are in the low position to correctly set the
failsafe.
7. Put your transmitter into bind mode. Refer to your transmit-
ter’s manual for binding button or switch instructions.
8. After 5 to 10 seconds, the receiver status LED will become
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.
Binding is the process of programming the receiver to
recognize the GUID (Globally Unique Identifier) code of a
single specific 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.bindnfly.com for a
complete list of compatible transmitters.
Transmitter and Receiver Binding
A
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.

EN
Installing the Flight Battery
1. Remove the battery hatch from the nose of
the aircraft.
2. Apply the included strip of hook and loop tape
in the center on the bottom of your battery.
3. For the recommended CG, install the battery
centered in the compartment, then press the
battery onto the hook and loop strip (A). See
the Adjusting the Center of Gravity instructions
for more information.
4. Connect a fully charged flight battery to the
ESC. See the Arming the ESC instructions for
correct connection of the battery to the ESC.
5. Reinstall the battery hatch.
CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po
battery from the ESC when not flying 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 flying 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 fire when batteries
are charged.

EN
Arming the ESC
Arming the ESC also occurs after binding as
previously described, but subsequent connection of
a flight battery requires the steps to the right.
Tip: If the ESC sounds a continuous double beep
after the flight battery is connected, recharge or
replace the battery.
If you accidentally connect the battery while the
throttle is fully opened, a musical tone will sound
after 5 seconds and the ESC will enter programming
mode. Disconnect the battery immediately.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the
propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the
propeller in response to any throttle movement.
Lower throttle and throttle trim to lowest
settings.
Power on the Transmitter.

1. Slide the wing tube into the right wing.
2. Insert the right wing with the wing tube (A)
into the round hole in the wing slot of
the fuselage while connecting the right
aileron control.
NOTICE: When disconnecting the servo
connectors, do not pull on the servo wires.
Use a screwdriver or pliers to break the friction
fit of the servo connectors. Failure to do so
could result in damage to the servo wiring.
3. Install the left wing (B) by sliding it over
the wing tube to the fuselage while
connecting the left aileron control.
4. Invert the fuselage so the landing gear is
facing up. Secure the left and right wing to
the fuselage using the included screws (C).
5. Remove the receiver cover (D) from the
bottom of the fuselage.
6. Connect the aileron servos in the wings
to the Y-harness connectors in the
fuselage. The left and right aileron
servos can be connected to either side
of the Y-harness.
Tip: If you are using dual aileron/flaperon
transmitter programming, connect the aileron
servo connectors to the AILE and AUX1 ports on
the receiver instead of using the
included Y-harness.
After connecting the servos to the separate
ports, program your transmitter for dual aileron/
flaperon and differential to benefit from the high
performance characteristics of this aircraft.

Control Centering
Before the first flights, or in the event of an ac-
cident, make sure the flight control surfaces are
centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the
control surfaces are not centered.
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.
Centering Controls After First Flights
If the model requires excessive transmitter trim,
return the transmitter trim to zero and adjust the
linkages mechanically so that the control surfaces
are in the flight trimmed position.
Settings for Servo Arms
This illustration shows the factory settings for
linkages on servo arms. After flying, you may
choose to adjust the linkage positions for the
desired control response.
This illustration shows the factory setting for the
Elevator servo arm on the servo.
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.
Ailerons Elevator/Rudder
Elevator servo arm
IMPORTANT: The factory setting for the elevator
servo arm is one tooth forward from a 90°
angle to allow equal elevator deflection up
and down. All other control surface servo arms
should be set to 90°.

EN
Consult local laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
We recommend flying your aircraft outside in no
greater than moderate winds.
Always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and
buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying
in areas where there are many people, such as busy
parks, schoolyards or soccer fields.
Takeoff
Place the aircraft in position for takeoff (facing into
the wind). 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 flight envelope of the aircraft.
Flying
This aircraft is extremely responsive to control
input. Fly at low rate settings until you are familiar
with its response.
Fly your first attempts at high rate settings at high
altitude and slow speeds.
Landing
Make sure to land into the wind. Fly the aircraft to
approximately 36 inches (90 cm) or less above the
runway, using a small amount of throttle for the
entire descent. Keep the throttle on until the aircraft
is ready to flare. During flare, keep the wings level
and the aircraft pointed into the wind. Gently lower
the throttle while pulling back on the elevator to
bring the aircraft down on its wheels.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle
and trim fully. Failure to do so could result in extra
damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the
ESC and motor.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under
warranty.
Repairs
Repair this aircraft using foam-compatible CA
(cyanoacrylate adhesive) glue or clear tape. Only use
foam-compatible CA glue 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 back of this manual.
NOTICE: Use of foam-compatible CA accelerant on
your aircraft can damage paint. DO NOT handle the
aircraft until accelerant fully dries.
NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never keep
the aircraft in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in
a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can
damage the foam.

Vorflugkontrolle

1. Laden Sie den Flugakku.
2. Setzen Sie den vollständig gelad-
enen Flugakku in das Flugzeug
ein.
3. Binden Sie den Flugzeugempfän-
ger an den Sender.
4. Stellen Sie sicher, dass sich alle
Anlenkungen frei bewegen kön-
nen.
5. Führen Sie mit dem Sender
einen Steuerkontrolltest durch.
6. Justieren Sie den Schwerpunkt.
7. Führen Sie einen Reichweit-
entest durch.
8. Finden Sie eine sichere und of-
fene Gegend zum fliegen.
9. Planen Sie ihren Flug nach den
Flugfeldbedingungen.
Niederspannungsabschaltung (LVC)
Wird ein LiPo Akku unter 3 Volt pro Zelle entladen kann er ke-
ine Spannung mehr halten. Der Regler schützt den Akku vor
einer Unterspannung mit der Niederspannungsabschaltung
(LVC). Unabhängig von der Gasknüppelstellung wird dann die
Leistung reduziert, um einen Absinken der Zellenspannung
unter 3 Volt zu verhindern.
Der Motor fängt dann an zu pulsieren und zeigt damit an,
dass noch Energie für eine sichere Landung bleibt. Bitte
landen Sie sofort wenn der Motor zu pulsieren anfängt und
laden den Akku wieder auf.
Trennen Sie nach dem Fliegen immer den Akku vom Emp-
fänger und entfernen ihn aus dem Flugzeug. Laden Sie den
Akku auf die halbe Kapazität bevor Sie ihn einlagern. Stellen
Sie bitte sicher, dass die Akkuspannung nicht unter 3 Volt pro
Zelle fällt. Trennen Sie den Akku nicht wird er tiefentladen.
Stellen Sie für die ersten Flüge die Stopuhr oder den Tim-
er auf ihrer Fernsteuerung auf 5 Minuten ein. Stellen Sie
den Timer nach dem ersten Flug länger oder kürzer ein. Bei
gutem Gasmanagement sind 7 Minuten Flugzeit möglich.
HINWEIS: Wiederholtes Fliegen in die Niederspannungs-
abschaltung beschädigt den Akku.
Der Bindevorgang
1. Bitte lesen Sie die Bindeanweisungen ihres Senders. (Position
des Bindeknopfes)
2. Stellen Sie sicher dass der Flugakku vom Regler getrennt ist.
3. Schalten Sie den Sender aus.
4. Binden Sie den AR6310 Empfänger an einen DSM2 Sender
indem Sie die beiden Bindepins (A) mit einer Pinzette,
Spitzzange o.ä. zusammendrücken. Der Metallkontakt ist
notwendig um diesen Vorgang durchzuführen. Verbiegen Sie
die Pins dabei nicht.
5. Schließen Sie den Akku an das Flugzeug an. Drücken Sie die
Pins zusammen bis die Empfänger LED beginnt schnell zu
blinken. (Normalerweise nach 5 Sekunden)
6. Bitte stellen Sie sicher, dass alle Ruder zentriert sind und Gas-
sowie die Gastrimmung in der untersten möglichen Position
sind um so das Failsafe einzustellen.
7. Aktivieren Sie den Binde Mode des Senders. Bitte lesen Sie
dazu in der Bedienungsanleitung des Senders.
8. Nach 5 - 10 Sekunden fängt die Empfänger Status LED an zu
leuchten und zeigt damit an das der Empfänger an den Sender
gebunden ist. Sollte die LED nicht leuchten, sehen Sie bitte in
der Problemlösung auf der Rückseite der Anleitung nach.
Beim Bindeprozess wird der Empfänger programmiert, um
den GUID- (Global eindeutiger Identifikations-) Code eines
einzelnen speziellen Senders zu erkennen. Für einen ord-
nungsgemäßen Betrieb müssen Sie Ihren gewählten Flug-
zeugsender mit Spektrum DSM2/DSMX-Technologie an den
Empfänger „binden“.
Jeder Spektrum DSM2/DSMX Sender kann mit einem DSM2/
DSMX Empfänger gebunden werden. Bitte besuchen Sie www.
bindnfly.com für die vollständige Liste kompatibler Sender.

ACHTUNG: Wenn Sie einen Futaba
-Sender mit einem Spektrum DSM-Modul
verwenden, müssen Sie den Gaskanal re-
versieren (umkehren) und danach das
System neu binden. Lesen Sie bitte für
den Bindevorgang und programmieren
der Failsafeeinstellungen die Bedienung-
sanleitung des Spektrum Modules. Zum
reversieren des Gaskanals lesen Sie bitte
in der Anleitung des Futaba Senders nach.

Einsetzen des Flugakkus
1. Nehmen Sie Akkuklappe vorne vom Rumpf ab.
2. Kleben Sie das im Lieferumfang enthaltene
Klettband wie abgebildet auf die Unterseite des
Akkus in der Nähe der Anschlußkabel. Diese
Position ermöglicht einfaches Einsetzen und
Entnehmen des Akkus.
3. Setzen Sie für den empfohlenen Schwerpunkt
den Akku in der Mitte des Akkufaches ein und
drücken ihn auf dem Klettstreifen (A) fest.
Lesen Sie für mehr Informationen den Abschnitt
Einstellen des Schwerpunktes.
4. Schließen Sie den vollständig geladenen Akku
an den Regler an. Bitte sehen Sie für den kor-
rekten Anschluß des Akkus an den Regler unter
dem Abschnitt Armieren des Reglers nach.
5. Setzen Sie die Akkuklappe wieder auf.
ACHTUNG: Trennen Sie immer den Flugakku
vom Regler wenn Sie nicht fliegen um die Stromver-
sorgung zu unterbrechen. Der Regler hat keinen
Ein/Aus Schalter und reagiert auf jede Knüppeleing-
abe bei bestehendem Signal.
ACHTUNG: Trennen Sie immer den LiPo Akku
vom Flugzeug wenn Sie nicht fliegen um ein tiefent-
laden des Akkus zu vermeiden. Akkus die unter die
zulässige Mindestspannung entladen werden, kön-
nen beschädigt werden was zu Leistungsverlust
und potentieller Brandgefahr bei dem Laden führen
kann.
