Making the Ultimate Machine
Start with the proven platform of the Worlds and 3D Championship-winning JR®
Vigor CS. Then re-think, redesign and restructure 80% of it’s critical components,
and you get a machine that shrugs off the most merciless, stick-bending
punishment today’s extreme 3D flying pilots can inflict.
And you top it off with a new name, the Vibe 90 3D.™
That’s exactly what (JR did, with critical input from) Curtis Youngblood—
with lots of valuable input from Marty Kuhns, Len Sabato and a host of other
JR Team members.
Judging by Curtis’ string of 3D and FAI wins with his Vibe, their combined
efforts have paid off big-time. What’s more, flying 10-12 flight per day with very
little maintenance, Curtis reports he has yet to find (the Vibe’s) its limit.
Great features and enhancements in the new JR Vibe 90 3D:
Just check this list of re-engineered and redesigned components and you’ll have a
handle on what makes the Vibe 90 3D the machine that’ll take your flying to new
levels.
Low Parts Count Means Quick Assembly
You will find that your Vibe 90 will assemble very quickly due to its well-
thought-out/straight-forward design, low parts count, and preassembled main
rotor head, washout unit, tail gear box, tail pitch slider assemblies, and 3-color
prepainted FRP canopy. The building time for the Vibe 90 usually takes only
10–12 hours from start to finish.
CCPM Control System
CCPM swashplate control is the key to the Vibe’s performance and low parts
count. The Vibe 90can be set up with the normal 120-degree CCPM system that is
supported in most of today's modern computer helicopter radio systems, or JR’s
original 140 CCPM. CCPM 140 places the ball links on the swashplate 140º back
from the forward ball, then the rear balls are extended, placing them the same
fore-to-aft distance from the center of the main shaft as the front ball. The main
advantage is that all three servos going to the swashplate now have the same
throw. With conventional 120 CCPM, the throws to the forward servos must be
reduced with radio programming by 50%. This causes the longer-throwing servos
to lag behind the shorter-throwing servo during quick cyclic inputs.

INTRODUCTION
WARNING
The radio controlled model helicopter contained in this kit is not a toy but a sophisticated
piece of equipment. This product is not recommended for use by children. Radio
controlled models such as this are capable of causing both property damage and/or bodily
harm to both the operator/assembler and/or spectator if not properly assembled and
operated. Horizon Hobby, Inc. assumes no liability for damage that could occur from the
assembly and/or use/misuse of this product. If you, as the buyer or owner, are not prepared
to accept the liability associated with the use of this product, you are advised to return this
kit immediately in new and unused condition to the place of purchase.
AMA INFORMATION
We strongly encourage all prospective and current R/C aircraft pilots to join the Academy
of Model Aeronautics. The AMA is a non-profit organization that provides services to
model aircraft pilots. As an AMA member, you will receive a monthly magazine entitled
Model Aviation, as well as a liability insurance plan to cover against possible accident or
injury. All AMA charter aircraft clubs require individuals to hold a current AMA sporting
license prior to operation of their models. For further information, you can contact

PREASSEMBLY INFORMATION
When first opening your Vibe 90 3D kit, you will notice that all of the parts are packaged
and numbered to coordinate with the assembly step numbers of this instruction manual.
All small hardware (nuts, bolts, washers, etc.) for each step are separated and packaged
separately within the main parts bags. When beginning a section, you will need to open
only the bag with the corresponding number to the section you are going to start. It is
suggested that you place all of the hardware in an open container (e.g., coffee can) during
assembly so as not to lose any of the small parts. It may also be helpful to familiarize
yourself with the various sizes of screws, bolts, nuts, etc., as illustrated in the appropriate
assembly section before you begin assembly. At the end of each assembly, in most cases,
there should be no parts remaining.
NOTE: Your kit also includes JR red and green threadlock. Unlike conventional U.S.-
made threadlock, JR red is actually the U.S. equivalent of blue. JR green is actually the
equivalent of U.S. red.
Great care has been taken in filling the bags with the correct quantity of parts and
hardware for each section. However, occasionally mistakes do happen. In the event that
you find a parts shortage or are in need of technical assistance, please contact your local JR
Heli Division parts dealer or contact the Horizon Service Center directly.

well as older 10 series systems) are
equipped with 120° CCPM electronics for
use with JR CCPM machines. Radios you
may be flying now, like the X347, X388S,
XP783, and XP8103*, have 120° CCPM
capability built in but require activation by
the Horizon Service Department. For details,
please call [phone].
*Please note that many XP8103 systems have the CCPM
function already activated. Please check with the Horizon
Service Center for details.
