This instrucon is for seng up the inbuilt CC3D ight controller that comes with your ANAKIN FPV ARF.
If you use Sky-Hero Link 9 radio with its receiver go to page XX
Mount your receiver on the upper frame with double-sided tape.
Sky-Hero CC3D ight controller is only compable with:
S-BUS receivers
JR & Spektrum Satellite receivers
PPM receivers
Please note that PWM (Pulse With Modulaon) is NOT SUPPORTED!

You will need to know exactly what kind of receiver you are using as dierent receivers request totally dierent setup steps. ANAKIN  FPs inbuilt
Sky-Hero CC3D supports 3 kinds of receivers: PPM, S.BUS and DSM.
PP PLSE POSIION ODLAION
A PPM signal (oen referred to as a PPM stream) is basically a series of PM signals (described above) sent one aer another on the same wire. So
instead of connuously sending the informaon for 1 channel or servo, the informaon for all servos or ESCs is sent in a row on the same wire. The
advantage of such a PPM signal is that only one signal wire is needed instead of all the individual wires.
For PPM receiver, the HITE and REY wire of the mul colored signal wire needs to be swapped FIRST, then connect the REY RED BLACK plug to
the PPM output of your receiver, no other wires need to be connected. See below:
S.BUS
The S.Bus is another communicaon protocol from Futaba that can also be used on other radios like Taranis and Radiolink. It also combines all output
channel informaon into single servo lead.
For S.Bus receiver, use the S.Bus signal wire and connect it to the S.Bus port on the main board, remove the mul colored PMPPM signal cable from
its socket.
DSSPEKRR SAELLIE ONNEION
Another receiver opon is the SpektrumR Satellite. It allows a SpektrumR or OrangeR satellite receiver to be connected to the CC3D.
For JR/Spektrum/DSM satellite receiver, plug the signal wire on the satellite to the DSM port on the main board. Then swap the ORANGE and BLACK
wire at any end of the plug. (see explanaon on next page)

ANAKIN FRAME ADSTEMENTS
Anakin has been conceived to be adjustable in many ways. You can play with several frame adjustments to make a perfect match between your prole
and the ight behaviour of the frame Arms geometry, Motor Tilt Angle  Camera Angle.
They can be combined almost to innity. To make changes on the frame, please refer to the Anakin
Assembly Instrucon Manual (AIM)  AnakinAIM
v1..pdf (click on the link or go to www.sky-hero.com)
Also, included in the box, you will nd jigs to calibrate the geometry of Anakin. e strongly advice you control the geometry of the frame especially
aer a crash.

BEFORE TAKE OFF
1: OPERATE YOUR AIRCRAFT SAFELY
Refer to and follow all safety precauons menoned in the eneral Instrucons and uidelines for use secon of this manual.
Ensure that you always turn on your transmier before connecng the aircra baery power. Aer ying, make sure that you always disconnect the
aircra baery before turning o the transmier.
On the transmier, ensure switches are to neutral posion and the throle control is at the lowest posion.
Check that your aircra is ready for ight with no loose screws or ngs (pay special aenon to the propellers) insert a baery into the baery bay
and use the provided strap to secure the baery in place.
Connect the baery cable to the connector on the aircra.
(Important make sure you keep the aircra level and sll while connecng the baery)
ait for the LED lamp (located on the underneath of the aircra) to ash green rapidly  it should do this twice (without a short interval between each
set of ashes).
You should wait unl the LED is only ashing reen without any Red ashes  this indicates that you have sucient Satellites located for safe PS
mode ying. Beginners are strongly recommended to y in PS mode and become fully condent and capable with the aircra before ying in ATTI or
Manual modes
3: FLIGHT TEST YOUR ANAKIN
Fly  minutes in hover and then land your aircra.
Disconnect the baery and check the temperature of the motors and tubes they may be warm, but must not be hot. Recharge the baery and check
the capacity (mAh) that your charger puts back into the baery. This mAh value will cor- respond to the power consumpon of your Anakin during the 
minute ight.
4: CALCULATING YOUR IDEAL FLIGHT TIME
If for example you use a  mAh baery and aer  minutes of racing, you put it on charge and  mAh of power is put back into the baery.
To translate this into your ideal ight me, you need to divide the capacity of the baery (mAh) by recharged mAh amount (mAh) and mul-
ply the result by the duraon of your ight in minutes ( min).
Example   . x  min  1 min 3. This is your approximate maximum ight me.
For safety reasons, we would advise that you do not y beyond more than  of the maximum ight me.
In our example, if you y for about 1 minutes, you should have enough power to return and land without risking damage to your baery.
If your transmier has a countdown or a mer funcon, it is advisable to use it indy condions and cold temperatures can adversely aect your max
ight me.
Note You need to calculate the ight me individually for each typespecicaon of baery that you have.
