Foreword
Attention!
It is quite important that these instructions are read completely prior to assembly and rst-time
use of the folding motor.
!
With the installation of a folding motor, your glider model is ready for take-off on a suitable runway.
Outside landing by slope ying is no longer necessary.
A relatively small hull opening is sufcient for the installation of the folding motor.
The folding motor is locked in both end positions.
Safe extension and retraction are assured with a worm gear unit.
For the installation of a retractable landing gear, experience has shown that the wheel axle should be approximate-
ly 30 mm in front of the leading edge of the wing when the landing gear is extended.
• Before installation, be sure to study the manual from start to nish.
• Be aware of the potential dangers associated with the use of tools.
• Only use suitable cables sufcient to accommodate the current levels arising during operation.
• Route the receiver antenna as far away from the cables carrying traction current as possible (at least 3 cm).
Depending on the remote control, an appropriately programmed three position switch is suitable for the extension of
the drive motor.
Basically: rear position = retract folding motor and electric motor off, center position = extend folding motor, whereby
a corresponding elevator compensator is simultaneously activated with a mixer, depending on the model. When swit-
ching off the drive motor, the elevator then returns to the neutral position.
The speed regulator is activated in the front position. Experience has shown that the speed regulation can be cont-
rolled with the non-neutralizing/throttle control.

Warnings and safety notes
This folding motor is not a toy! If you do not have any experience with this type of motorized mo-
del, please contact an experienced model pilot who can assist you. If the folding motor is com-
missioned without prior knowledge, injuries can occur. Please consider your health and safety.
The folding motor may only be used for the take-off of a glider model. Do not perform aerobatics
or speed ight with the folding motor extended.
Attention!
Never reach into a running propeller or attempt to hold the propeller by hand when it is opera-
ting. This leads to hand injuries. Rotational forces can readily cause the propeller to get out of
control.
Never put objects/foreign materials into a running propeller. Always ensure that objects/foreign
materials can-not get into the propeller when it is running. If this does happen, the propeller‘s
sudden imbalance can cause heavy damage to the model. Persons in the vicinity can be se-
verely injured by parts hurled through the air.
Attention!
Never dwell in front or back of a propeller. Improper assembly or unforeseen circumstances can
cause the propeller to come off of its shaft. Stop the propeller if unusual noises are heard.
Any deviation from the model‘s instructions can have an effect on the model‘s functionality and
operational safety. This must be avoided under all circumstances.
The operator of a RC model must be aware of the legal stipulations before putting a RC model
into operation because a RC model is subject to applicable laws. Applicable laws are always to be followed
in every case. In this respect, pay attention to the laws applicable in the given country. Before operating the
model for the rst time, check if your private liability insurance provides coverage for RC models of this type.
If this is not the case, obtain special liability insurance coverage for RC models.
RC models are very demanding and potentially dangerous objects, and call for a high level of knowledge and
expertise from the operator, together with a sense of responsibility.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which can be injurious to health. It is important to heed the
manufacturer’s instructions and warnings.
The model may only be operated with accessories which we recommend as otherwise functionality cannot be
guaranteed.
The commissioning and operation of the model is solely at the risk of the operator. Only cautious, considered
handling during operation of the model will prevent personal injuries and property damage.
This model is not suitable for children under 16 years of age.
Pay attention to the potential dangers associated with the tools that are used.
Comply with the recommendations and notices associated with the remote control set and accessories.
Before operating the model, check it for reliable response to the remote control unit and all plug-in connec-
tions for secure connection.
Never attempt to recharge any primary cell batteries used as a power supply. Only rechargeable (i.e. seconda-
ry cell) batteries may be charged.
The remote control unit‘s effective range must be checked prior to operation of the model. To check this,
switch the model on then walk with it away from the transmitter as far as about 100 m while a helper operates
various controls on the transmitter. At this distance it must be possible to operate all model functions without
any problem.
Pay attention to radio devices or transmitters which could substantially affect the model‘s functionality. Try to
ensure that such devices are not operated in the vicinity while the model is being operated.
Batteries must never be short-circuited or come into direct contact with water.
Never endanger yourself or others in an attempt to recover the model.
Take care with loose clothing such as scarves, loose shirts etc. Flapping cloth can easily be sucked into the
area of the propeller and then get tangled in the blades.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your ying site, make sure that they are aware of the dangers inherent
in your activity, and insist that they keep a safe distance away (at least 5 m behind the plane of the propeller).
Model aircraft should only be own in “normal” weather conditions, i.e. a temperature range of -5° to +35° C.
More extreme temperatures can lead to changes in battery capacity, material characteristics and other unwan-
ted effects.
If your model is powered by a motor or engine, it is important to observe the safety notes provided by the
manufacturer of the power plant.
Before and after every ight check the model and all parts attached to it - e.g. propellers, control surface
linkages, control surfaces etc.) for possible damage. Do not y the model again until you have corrected any
defects.

Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under certain circumstances. Read
and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
Never y over or towards other people.
During take-off and landing procedures the runway must be free of unauthorised persons and movable obsta-
cles.
Watch the aeroplane constantly while it is in the air. Models must always give way to full-size aircraft.
Never y the model from public roads, squares, schoolyards, parks and public playing elds. It is your res-
ponsibility to keep the model under full control at all times.
All model yers should behave in a manner which avoids endangering or interfering with public safety and
order. Never act in any way which will disturb other yers and jeopardise safe, orderly ying at the site.
As operator of this model aircraft you bear sole responsibility for its safe operation, The only way to avoid
personal injury and property damage is to operate your model cautiously and conscientiously.
If there are passers-by or spectators at your ying site, make sure that they are aware of the dangers inherent
in your activity, and insist that they keep a safe distance away (at least 5 m behind the plane of the propeller).
This aeroplane is highly pre-fabricated and can be completed in a very short time. However, the work which
you have to carry out is important and must be done carefully. The model will only be strong and y well if
you complete your tasks competently - so please work slowly and accurately.
If your model is powered by a motor or engine, it is important to observe the safety notes provided by the
manufacturer of the power plant.
Before and after every ight check the model and all parts attached to it - e.g. propellers, control surface
linkages, control surfaces etc.) for possible damage. Do not y the model again until you have corrected any
defects.
Adhesives and paints contain solvents which may be hazardous to health under certain circumstances. Read
and observe the notes and warnings supplied by the manufacturer of these materials.
Please don’t misunderstand the purpose of these notes. All we want to do is bring to your attention the many
dangers and hazards which can arise if you lack knowledge and experience, or work carelessly or irrespon-
sibly. If you take reasonable care, model ying is a highly creative, instructive, enjoyable and relaxing pas-
time.
It is important that your shoes should not slip when you are dealing with the motor or engine. The model must
also be rmly secured.
According to the new regulation of §103 Paragraph 3 of the LuftVZO (German Aviation Approvals Ofce), all
model aircraft - whether slow-yer, park-yer, glider, or model aircraft propelled by any form of power plant -
must be insured before the model is operated. If you are not sure about this, please ask at your local model
shop where the staff will be glad to advise you.
These safety notes must be kept in a safe place. If you ever dispose of the model, be sure to pass them on to
the new owner.
Warning!
The propeller must be securely attached. Do not direct the propeller toward persons or animals,
do not test the propeller in the hand. Never dwell in front of a propeller. Unforeseen circum-
stances can cause the propeller to come off of its shaft. Persons in the vicinity can be severely
injured by parts hurled through the air.
Do not touch any part of the drive train (i.e. motor + propeller + shaft) while it is operating as
this can lead to injuries. Allow the motor, shaft, regulator and battery time to cool off after operation before
touching any of these parts!
Operating the model while under the inuence of medication, alcohol, drugs, etc. is forbidden.

1) Signal line for brushless controller
The signal line of the controller is inserted here. The signal line is interrupted by a microswitch when the folding
motor is retracted. When the folding motor is extended, the controller is released.
Attention!
The signal line is normally plugged directly into the controller; however, for safety reasons, it
is blocked to prevent the motor from starting in a retracted state.
!
2) Motor control channel
This plug runs from the microswitch and is inserted into the preferred receiver channel which is responsible for
controlling the motor speed.
3) LiPo 3 S power supply for the extension motor
A 3 S LiPo battery with a capacity of at least 1000 mAh capacity is connected directly. The battery supplies power
to the extension motor.
4) Channel for extending and retracting the folding motor
This plug runs from the relays that control the motor to extend and retract the folding motor, and is inserted into the
desired receiver channel responsible for extending and retracting the folding motor.
5) Drive motor connecting cable
These plugs are connected to the controller's motor connecting cable.

Programming diagram (1)
1) Turn on the transmitter and connect it to the receiver, and then turn off the receiver.
2) Call up the control settings.
3) Assign a switch to the channel in which you want to insert the plug (4).
4) In the servo display, make sure that the switch is OFF, that is, that the percentage is -100%.
5) Plug the plug (4) into the channel that you assigned for the switch for extending and retracting the folding motor.
6) Turn the receiver power supply ON.
7) The relay should signal that the receiver is turned on with a click which can take 1-3 sec.
8) Plug the 3 S LiPo battery for the extension motor into the socket (3).
9) In order to extend the folding motor, move the switch to the extended position.
10) In order to retract the folding motor, move the switch to the retracted position.
11) Reduce the travel of the control switch to 80% in both directions.
This is necessary so that the relays do not accidentally return to startup mode. This can for example hap-
pen if you set the control switch travel to 100%, turn the model OFF, and the folding motor is extended. If
the model is turned on again, startup mode is enabled.
12) The folding motor is now programmed in your transmitter
Attention !
The connector for extension and retraction ( 4 ) hase to be inserted after the programming of
the switch which is used for this purpose .
!
Attention!
The folding motor must be rst started before it is installed in the fuselage in order to program
extension and retraction. Fine adjustments can be made at a later time.
!
Attention!
Before you start programming, remove the propeller from the motor's shaft; this is necessary,
since in the event of an interruption of the signal line by the microswitch, the controller may
not shut off the motor for a while (because of the software used) and the motor may continue
to operate during retraction. This will allow the motor to start during programming without
damaging the folding motor or injuring people.
!
Slacken the 4 fastening screws on the spinner and
remove the spinner with the attached propeller from the
motor's shaft.
Attention!
If the relays switch to programming mode, wait about 10 to 15 seconds and do not touch the
switch. During this time, the folding motor will gradually return to its retracted position from
which it then moves into the extended position. Startup mode is then reinitialized, and you can
use the folding motor as usual.

Programming diagram (2)
Programming diagram (2) is the diagram you must use in the event of problems involving the controller
used for the drive motor.
In the event of an interruption of the signal line by the microswitch, the controller may not shut off the mo-
tor (because of the software used) for a while and the motor may continue to operate during retraction. To
prevent this, proceed as follows.
1) Switch on transmitter and connect to the receiver; then switch off the receiver.
2) Call up free mixers menu.
3) Create a 1st mixer from a switch to the channel where you wish to insert plug (4).
4) Assign a 3-position switch to the mixer at the rst position.
5) Specify a symmetrical travel for both sides (100%) on the mixer.
6) In the servo display, check that the switch is set to OFF, i.e. the percent display reads -100% and then reads
+100% when set to ON.
7) Set the switch to the OFF position.
8) Switch the receiver power supply ON.
9) One of the relays should signal that the receiver is turned on with a CLICK which can take 1-3 sec.
10) Plug the 3 S LiPo for the extension motor into the socket (3).
11) In order to extend the folding motor, move the switch to the extended position.
12) In order to retract the folding motor, move the switch to the retracted position.
13) Reduce the travel of the mixer to 80% in both directions.
This is necessary so that the relays do not accidentally return to startup mode. This can for example hap-
pen if you set the control switch travel to 100%, turn the model OFF, and the folding motor is extended. If
the model is turned on again, the startup mode is enabled.
14) Extend the folding motor to the extended position, switch position 1
15) Create a 2nd mixer from a switch to the channel where you wish to insert plug (2).
16) Assign the previously used 3-position switch to the mixer at the second position.
17) Specify a symmetrical travel for both sides (100%) on the mixer.
18) In the servo display, check that the switch is set to OFF, i.e. the percent display reads -100% and then reads
+100% when set to ON.
19) Set the switch to the OFF position.
20) Connect your drive battery to your controller in order to test the motor and the switching sequence.
21) Move the switch one position further and the motor begins to run.
22) Move the switch back one position and the motor stops.
23) Move the switch to the 1st position; the folding motor retracts.
24) The folding motor is now programmed in your transmitter
Working with programming diagram (2)
Extending and starting the motor
1) Move the switch to the position 1; the folding motor extends.
2) Wait until the folding motor is extended.
3) Move the switch to position 2 and the motor starts to run.
It is recommended that the controller be programmed for a soft start.
Attention!
If the relays switch to programming mode, wait about 10 to 15 seconds and do not touch the
switch. During this time, the folding motor will gradually return to its retracted position from
which it then moves into the extended position. Startup mode is then reinitialized, and you can
use the folding motor as usual.
