2. Connect the servo wires from the front and rear sections of the fuselage. Get the motor wires through to the battery compartment. Apply glue on the spars and contact surface of the rear section. Stick both sections together by move the rear one towards the front one.
3. Plug the motor wires accordingly into the plastic sockets.

NACELLES INSTALLATION

1. Plug the motor wires (in the sequence of red, yellow, black) into the connector and fix the nacelles into the slots as shown.
2. Secure the nacelles with supplied screws.

MAIN WING INSTALLATION

1. lnsert the wing spar into the slots of the fuselage.
2. lnstall two wing halves onto the fuselage through the wing spar as shown.
3. Use the included screws to secure the main wing.

HORIZONTAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION

Fit the horizontal stabilizer into the slot of the tail and fasten with supplied screws

Make sure all servos are in their central position and adjust the linkages to the indicated positions.

The following pictures show the default factory settings for the control horns and linkages recommended for use for initial flight.

Hole reference for flap servo linkage

Hole reference for aileron flap servo linkage

Hole reference for elevator servo linkage

Hole reference for rudder servo linkage

BATTERY INSTALLATION

1. Before connecting the battery to the plane, power on the transmitter and ensure throttle lever in the lowest position.
2. Remove the battery hatch.
3. Insert battery into the battery compartment with the power cable towards the rear of the plane and use straps to secure the battery.
4. If necessary, reposition battery to adjust the center of gravity (CG) by moving the battery forward or backward.

CG SETTING

Correct center of gravity is very essential for a successful flight. Please refer to the below diagram to adjust the CG of the plane. Adjust the CG position by moving the battery forwards or backwards. If necessary, add ballast weight to achieve the correct CG position before flight.

CONTROL TEST

Power up the transmitter BEFORE connecting a battery and perform a full function test before flight – watch all control surfaces to verify correct direction of operation.

Amewi strongly recommends you also perform a full range test prior to each flight!
SAFETY FIRST!! Please remove battery before carrying out any pre-flight maintenance to the power system to prevent potential injury from unintended EDF operation.
ALWAYS CHECK CONTROL SURFACE DIRECTION FROM BEHIND THE MODEL LOOKING FORWARD TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION

DUAL RATE SETTING

Based on Amewi’s testing experience, the following rates are recommended for optimum performance. It is suggested that initial flights are carried out using low rates until you are comfortable with the flight characteristics of the plane.

When flaps are released, the aircraft will be heading up, so mixed elevator control is required for good landings. lt requires 1mm height lower for high dual-rate flap and 2mm lower for low dual-rate flap.

| Aileron| Elevator| Rudder| Flapps
---|---|---|---|---
Low Dual Rate (H1 / H2)| 10mm| 10mm| 15mm| 20mm
High Dual Rate (H1 / H2| 15mm| 12mm| 20mm| 30mm

BRUSHLESS ESC MANUAL

Programmable Items ( The option written in bold font is the default setting )

1. Brake Setting: Enabled / Disabled

2. Battery Type: LiPo / NiMH

3. Low Voltage Protection: Soft Cut-Off (Gradually reduce the output power) / Cut-Off (Immediately stop the output power)

4. Low Voltage Protection Threshold: Low / Medium / High
   a. For lithium battery, the battery cell number is calculated automatically. Low / medium / high cut-off voltage for each cell is: 2,85 / 3,15 / 3,3V. For example: For 3S LiPo, when “Medium” cut-off threshold is set, the cut-off voltage will be 3,15 X 3 = 9,45V.
   b. For NiMH battery, low / medium / high cut-off voltages are 0% / 50% / 65% of the start-up voltage (i.e., the initial voltage of battery pack), and 0% means the low voltage cut-off function is disabled. For example: For a 6 cells NiMH battery, fully charged voltage is 1,44 X 6 = 8,64V, when “Medium” cut-off threshold is set, the cut-off voltage is 8,64 * 50% 4,32V.

5. Start-up Mode: Normal / Soft / Super-Soft (300ms / 1,5s / 3s)
   a. Normal Mode is suitable for fixed-wing aircraft. Soft or Super-Soft modes are suitable for helicopters. The initial acceleration of the Soft and Super- Soft modes is slower, it takes 1,5 seconds for Soft start-up or 3 seconds fur Super-Soft start-up from initial throttle advance to full throttle. If the throttle is completely closed (throttle stick moved to bottom position) and opened again (Throttle stick move to top position) within 3 seconds after the first startup, the re-start-up will be temporarily changed to normal mode to get rid of the chance of a crash caused by slow throttle response. This special design is suitable for aerobatic flight when quick throttle response needed.

6. Timing: Low / Medium / High (3,75° / 15° / 26,25°)
   a. Usually, low timing is suitable for most motors. To get higher speed, High timing value can be chosen.

IMPORTANT: Remote controls have different throttle travel lengths. Please calibrate the throttle travel before flying.

THROTTLE RANGE CALIBRATION

Switch on the transmitter and move the throttle to the top position.| Connect a battery to the controller and wait two seconds.| A beep-beep sound should be heard. This means that the top point of the transmitter has been stored.| Move the throttle to the lowest position, several beep sounds will be heard. The beep sounds indicate the number of cells detected in the battery.| A long beep sounds, this means that the lowest point of the throttle has been stored.

STANDARD START PROCEDURE

Move the throttle to the lowest position and switch on the transmitter.| Connect the battery to the controller. A sequence of beeps will be heard indicating that everything is OK.| Several beeps will be heard indicating the cell count of the battery.| Once the self-test is complete, a long beep will be heard.| Move the throttle up to fly.

PROTECTION FUNCTION

1. Start-up failure protection: If the motor fails to start within two seconds of throttle application, the ESC will cut-off the output power. In this case, the throttle stick MUST be moved to the bottom again to restart the motor. (Such a situation happens in the following cases: The connection between ESC and motor is not reliable, the propeller or the motor is blocked, the gearbox id damaged, etc.)
2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is over 110 Celsius degrees, the ESC will reduce the output power.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if throttle signal lost for 1 second, further loss for 2 seconds will cause the output power to be cut-off completely.

TROUBLE SHOOTING

connector.
After power on, motor does not work such an alert tone is emitted: “beep- beep-, beep-beep-, beep-beep-” (Every “beep-beep-” had a time interval of about 1 second).| Input voltage is abnormal, too high, or too low.| Check the voltage of the battery.
After power on, motor does not work such an alert tone is emitted: “beep-, beep-, beep-” (Every “beep-” had a time interval of about 2 second).| Throttle signal is irregular.| Check the receiver and Transmitter.
Check the cable of throttle channel.
After power on, motor does not work such an alert tone is emitted: “beep-, beep-, beep-” (Every “beep-” had a time interval of about 0,25 second).| The throttle stick is not in the lowest position. | Move the throttle stick to the bottom position.
After power on, motor does not work, a special tone “56712” is emitted after 2 beep tone (beep-beep-)| Direction of the throttle channel is reversed, so the ESC has entered the program mode.| Set the direction of throttle channel correctly.
The motor runs in the opposite direction.| The connection between ESC and motor needs to be changed.| Swap any two wire connections between ESC and motor.

PROGRAM THE ESC

Note: Please ensure that the throttle curve is set to 0 when the throttle stick is in the lowest position and at 100 when it is pushed to top.

1. Enter program mode
2. Select programmable item
3. set item’s value (Programmable value)
4. Exit program mode

1. Enter Program mode

2. Select programmable Items
After entering program mode, you will hear 8 tones in a loop with the following sequence. If you move the throttle stick to bottom within 3 seconds after one kind of tones, this item will select.

3. Set item value (Programmable value)
You will hear several tones in loop. Set the value matching to a tone by moving throttle stick to top when you hear the tone, then a special tone “1515” emits, means the value is set and saved. (Keeping the throttle stick at top, you will go back to step 2 and you can select other items; or moving the stick to bottom within 2 seconds will exit program mode directly)
