NOTES OR ASSEMBLY

Please refer to this manual for assem ly instructions for this model.

Follow the order of assem ly indicated. The instructions are divided into chapters, which are structured in a way that

each step is ased on the work done in the previous step. Changing the order of assem ly may result in additional or

unnecessary steps.

Use thread lockers and retaining compounds as indicated. In general, each olt or screw that engages with a metal part

requires thread lock.

Factory pre-assem led components have een assem led with all the required thread lock and lu ricants,

and have passed quality control. It is not necessary to disassem le and re-assem le them.

We do not recommend the use of thin cyanoacrylate glue for surface mount of painted parts. The fumes of the curing glue leave

white stains on the clear coat, which are hard to remove.

ENESTRON OPERATION

The Ro an fenestron unit provides sufficient thrust to cope with any flight situation a ove a main rotor rpm of 1000 r/min. We have

implemented our clients desire to e a le to fly realistically at a low head speed. However, and due to the physical layout of the

fenestron much higher required controlling forces are required compared to a typical RC helicopter tail rotor. To guarantee safe

operation and due to the fact that the control forces that a tail servo has to exert rise with the rotational speed of the tail, a main

rotor head speed of 1200 r/min are not to e exceeded. Please chose a high-power servo with at least 15kgcm of torque. The speed

of the servo isn’t key to good performance, a scale helicopters tail is inherently slow, a fast servo can even result in over tuning and

having your flight controller overwork the servo, as the heavy tail won’t respond to fast inputs. A regular cyclic servo is more than

sufficient. Please also ear in mind that such a heavy loaded servo WILL consume as much power in hover than your three cyclic

servos consume TOGETHER! Please have ear that in mind when choosing your BEC power rail components.

Assembly Scale uselage

Prior to installing the mechanics into the fuselage, please prepare the fuselage according to the following steps. Installation into the

fuselage most of the helicopter mechanic ecome inaccessi le

Remove the front canopy. It is secured y screws, which are

accesi le fromt the side doors.

Slide the spoilers (49) onto the skids (19) as shown.

Insert the spacers (21) into the spoiles (49) as shown, and secure with epoxy. Make sure to adjust them

properly.

Insert the joiner (20) into one side of the skid (19) as shown. Make sure the through holes line up as

depicted.

Then press the other skid (19) onto the joint as shown. Make sure that the through holes line up again!

Secure the skids (19) with screws (39) as shown.

Secure the skis (19) in the front section, from the in side, as shown with screws (37).

Connect the red LED (54) with prolonging wires (55) und mount it from outside into the tail fin top a ove

the fenestron duct. Route the wires all the way tot he front end oft he tail. We recommend securing it with

da s of hot melt glue.

Then glue the LED cap (56) into the socket as show. Please make sure that you get the position light colors

right.

Route the LEDs (52) und (54) wires trough the fins as shown, make sure of correct color on left and right

side.

Also attach prolonging ca les (55) to those LEDs and route them again towards the front end of the tail

tu e. Make sure to take your time to align the tail wings correctly efore gluing them into the tail oom.

We recommend using masking tape to hold them in correct position while curing the resin. Secure the

wires with da s of hot melt glue.

Connect the light of the main panel (58) e.g., it’s plug to the center panel (59) as shown. Then attach the

mid panel with glue onto the center panel. The driver unit can e run on voltages from 5 to 12V DC.

Then install all cockpit components into the floor oard using epoxy glue, parts 58 through 64. Make sure

the instrument LED system is connected and wires routed properly.

Assembly of Mechanics

The mechanics are almost entirely preassem led and split up into four sections: rotorhead, main frame, tail frame and tail tu e.

Prior to the installation into the scale fuselage, the mechanics have to e entirely assem led, electronic components installed, adjusted

and tested. After installation into the fuselage most of the helicopter mechanic ecome inaccessi le.

Step 1 – Rotorhead

Slide the rotorhead onto the main shaft. Use screw (70-00006)

and nylon nut (70-00007) to secure the rotorhead onto the

main shaft. Use two screws (70-00008) to additionally clamp

up the rotor hu onto the shaft as shown.

Make sure the distance etween the all link and the L lever is

equally at 24mm. Finally snap on the all links (70-00025) on

the swashplate’s upper disc uni-links (70-00030).

Step 2 – Tail boom

First of all install the center earings (70-00100) with the

holders (02-02006) into the tail oom (70-00095). Distri ute

the earings evenly in the tail oom. It is recommended to

apply a it of lu rificant onto the tu es inner surface, elsewise

the earing is likely to get stuck efore the correct position is

reached. Then install the center support ring (600UH1-007),

the servo rod guides (70-00040) and the servo two tail servo

holders (70-00098). Install the tail torque tu e (70-00096) into

the tail tu e.

Then insert the tail oom into the tail oom holders (70-00093,

70-00094). Lock the tu e in place with screw M3x8 (70-00086)

via the clamp up and additionally with screw M3x6 (70-00053)

as shown. Install the car on support eams (70-00104-70-

00106) on the main frame and the tail oom tail oom clamp

(600UH1-007).

Step 3 – Tail Servo Installation

First of all, mount the holder frame (70-00097) onto the oom

holders (70-00098) using screw M3x8. Then mount the tail

servo of your choice into the tail frame using screws M3x10,

washers and nylon nuts as shown. Install the servo horn and

the supplied uni all. Then slide the tail rotor control rod (70-

00103) into the four guides. Install the all link (70-) on oth

ends of the tail rotor control rod. Distri ute the guides evenly

along the tail oom. Then install the tail fennestron frame onto

the tail oom. Lock it with the three screws as shown, ut do

not use thread lock yet, as it has got to e uninstalled again.

Snap the servo control rod onto the all link.

Step 4 – Cyclic Servo Installation

Install the three cyclic servos onto the servo tray as shown.

Depending on your servos, you may have to use washers to

adjust the servo to the proper installation height. It is strongly

recommended to use metal servo horns and only metal geared

servos. The multi lade rotor head can feed ack forces that

may lead to failure of plastic components.

After the servos are installed, you will have to adjust the

linkage rods length’s according to the schematics elow. The

distances are uni all center to uni all center:

1=81mm 2=112mm 3=81mm

Step 5 – Adjust swashplate linkages

The linkages from the L-Levers to the swash plate have to e

set at correct length. Distances are uni all center to uni all

center:

1=35mm

Step 6 – Motor and Belt installation

In order to install the motor, you must first disassem le one of

the side frames in order to have access to the mounting screws

and access to the elt drive. Hence one side frames fasteners

are not tightened upon delivery. Before installing the pinion

pulley on the motor, you have to add a flat to the motor shaft

in order to secure the pulley with the set screws (70-).

Mount the motor as shown using washers and screws onto the

motor mount (70-00066). Make sure to have the motor wire

outlet facing into the right direction for connecting them to the

ESC. Then insert the elt pulley into the elt and slide it onto

the motor shaft. Before you tighten the set screws, make sure

that the pinion is installed leveled with the elt pulley, the

distance (Fig. 1) is at

24.5mm

.

Use oth tensioning screws to tension the elt drive. The elt

mustn’t e tensioned too tight to avoid unnecessary wear.

After installation of the motor, reassem le the side frames.

Caution! A elt under load tends to run away from the motor, e.g. it will

run in this case lower than under no load. The elt might ru against the

tail up gearing unit, cause friction and heat and has led to catastrophic fails

of the plastic tail gear!

Secondary Motor Support

Certain motors with 25mm mounts and long output shafts can e outfitted with a secondary motor shaft earing.

Step 7 – Electrical Wiring and Setup

The mechanics have to e fully electrically setup and adjusted

prior to installation into the fuselage. As the use of a 12S

(44.4V) setup is necessary, we strongly recommend to run the

control equipment on a separate 2S Lipo attery and BEC for

security reasons.

In scale configurations main attery power wires may e

longer than on compara le 3D helicopter equipment. As HV

ESCs do not necessarily have the main attery ground wire

connected to the servo signal ground wire, it may e necessary

to create an additional connection etween the BEC 2S

atteries ground wire and the 12S main attery ground wire.

Certain configurations without this ground interconnection

have led to a loss of signal at the ESC from the receiver due to

EMC effects.

The swash plate is a regular 120deg CCPM type, please take

your time to adjust all servo travels, center positions – the

entire 3 axis gyro – servo – radio setup prior to the installation

into the fuselage.

A 530KV motor such as the Align 750MX run at app. 90%

throttle (hover) shows satisfying results. As space is limited,

please make sure you check the dimensions if you intend to

use other rand motors.

In regards to the gyro setup, we recommend to start with

standard values of the 3 axis gyro. Make sure you install the

gyro in a way that provides easy access for connecting your

programming equipment. As the scale fuselage adds additional

inertia to each axis, gyros are normally to e set at a lower gyro

gain. All in all, a rigid gyro response does ruin the scale look in

flight.

Before operating the model check the following points:

-The direction of servo rotation (including the throttle

function) and travels.

-The direction of effect of the gyro, and the transmitter mixer

functions you have programmed.

-Collective pitch travel (linear travel -2/-3° to +9/+10°)

The lade grips are 14mm, the supplied rotor lades are 12mm

thick. We supplied PC washer, please install one washer on top

and on the ottom of the rotor lade when installing it to the

lade grip.

ATTENTION !

When using the a pitch gauge to adjust correct CP travels,

make sure that the gauge lines up with the flat surface of the

rotor blade. Many pitch gauges do not show the correct angle

when snapped onto non symmetric rotor blades

!

The main rotor lades are not symmetrical. Do not try to fly

inverted.

- It is permissi le to reduce servo travels, ut not elow 60%

(in this case adjust the mechanical linkage); travels should e

primarily symmetrical.

- Apply collective pitch min. / collective pitch max. and full roll

and pitch-axis commands simultaneously in all directions;

rotate the rotor head at the same time, and check that at the

extremes of travel no part of the rotor head is o structed.

- The auto-rotation switch must e assigned, and within easy

reach!

- When auto-rotation is selected: throttle position to off, all

directions of control and travels as in normal flight, tail rotor

to 0° = fixed value.

-The first few atteries should e flown with the model close

to the ground, i.e. no more than a out 1m altitude, until you

are confident that there are no defects or errors, and that

everything is working faultlessly:

- Use your ears critically (!), listening for unusual sounds and

vi ration, and seek out the pro lem if you are in any dou t at

all!

- Don’t listen to anyone standing close y if they try to hurry

you into flying the model.

- Avoid hovering outside ground effect (hover altitude with a

model: approx. 1m, or half the rotor disc diameter):

- Hovering requires very high power, and you are completely

dependent on the motor: in contrast to most full-size

helicopters, model helicopters have only one (!) power plant.
