INSTRUCTION MANUAL
INTRODUCTION.
The H-King TL2000 EPO RC Plane (PnF) is a fun plane
to fly and has both wheels and floats in the kit so you can
fly off land or water. The wingspan is 1160mm so it can
easily fit in your car for transport to your favorite flying
areas. The TL2000 is built from tough EPO foam so it will
take all the knocks and bangs in its stride.
The TL2000 is a single-engine, two-seat ultralight which
was designed in the Czech Republic. It first flew in 1997
and is a low wing monoplane with a large bubble canopy
for excellent visibility.
The H-King TL2000 comes complete with motor, ESC
and servos pre-fitted to make assembly easy and very
quick. The horizontal stabilizer is glued on but the wings
and the float option are held in place with thumb screws.
The wheel undercarriage is held on with screws and the
nosewheel and water rudder are held in place with grub
screws. All you need to supply is a battery, transmitter
and receiver.
The powerful 2838-1500KV brushless motor combined
with a 3-blade prop has lots of power to do exciting
aerobatics like loops and rolls. It also has fitted a 40 amp
brushless ESC with 3 amp BEC and 4 x 9g servos

Step 1: Apply a medium or slow setting CA glue to the slot in the
rear of the fuselage for the horizontal stabilizer.
Step 2: Slide the horizontal stabilizer into place ensuring it remains
square and true to the fuselage while the glue sets. Once the glue
has set run a small bead of glue around the joint to make sure of a
strong assembly.

Step 3: If doing the float plane version then follow these steps. If
fitting wheels go to Step 6. Centralize the rudder servo and fit the
water rudder.
Step 4: With the rudder servo central tighten the grub

Suggested Control Throws.
Ailerons: 10~12mm each way (measured at the root).
Elevator: 12~15mm each way.
Rudder: 30mm each way (measured at the base)..
Flying (with wheels).
We shall not go too much into flying the TL2000 as it is not a model designed for
beginners but for the model pilot who has flown low wing type aircraft before.
Before flying first thing is to double check all the controls are moving in the correct
direction and the control throws have been set to approximately the suggested
movement. Re-check the C of G position and then do a range check of the radio.
Please ensure that you have a fully charged battery installed.
Line the model up into wind on your runway with a touch of up elevator and smoothly
open the throttle keeping it straight with the steerable nosewheel. The TL2000 has an
abundance of power so will lift off very readily and climb away rapidly gaining height.
Once at a safe height explore the delightful handling characteristics of your TL2000. It
is very smooth and aerobats very nicely, a very pleasing aeroplane to fly that will put a
smile on your face.
Landings really are a non event, the plane virtually lands itself. Fly a nice circuit at
reduced power and when on finals take most of the power off and glide onto you
landing area controlling the airspeed with the elevator. At about shoulder height or a
bit less start to very gently raise the nose with a small amount of elevator until you are
flying level with the ground at about half a wingspan. Keep very gently pulling back the
elevator until the rear wheels kiss the ground and you have landed.
Flying (with floats).
Carry out the pre-flight checks as above.
Place the TL2000 on the water then slowly taxy out into the lake and turn into wind,
hold full up elevator whilst taxying. Hold in about half up elevator and smoothly open
the throttle keeping straight using the water rudder, the TL2000 should very quickly
get on the step (of the floats) then gracefully lift off. Circuits and landings are the
same as above with wheels but do make sure you do a fully held off landing. You
should have almost full up elevator in when you touch the water, then keep the
elevator fully back.
We hope you enjoy flying your H-KING TL2000 and if you haven't already tried out the
others in our range then we recommend you visit our website at
www.hobbyking.com and take a look at our ever increasing range of quality model
aircraft and accessories.
Have fun.
