Product Usage Instructions

Assembly

The Tower DHC-2 Beaver may be assembled with either the conventional landing gear or the included floats.
If installing the conventional landing gear, complete the following two steps, then skip ahead to the Horizontal Tail Installation section. If installing the floats, skip ahead to the Floats Installation section.
Landing Gear Installation

1. Use a #2 Phillips screwdriver to fasten both main landing gears to the fuselage with three M3x16 screws in each side.
2. Mount the tail gear with two M2.5×8 screws, then fasten the pushrod wires as shown. Make sure the tail wheel is perpendicular with the steering arm and tighten the screws.

Floats Installation

1. Connect the floats to each other with the horizontal struts and four M2.5×20 machine-thread screws.
2. Use eight M2.5×8 screws to fasten the braces to the floats, matching the labels printed or molded into the end of each brace to the mount location on each float.
3. Fasten the float braces to the fuselage with one M3x16mm screw and two M2.5x8mm screws in each side of the fuselage. No screw is installed in the third strut at this time.
4. Connect a small rubber band to the inner side of each float and water rudder as shown.
5. Fasten the wire hooks on the end of each rudder line to the connectors in the steering arm. Adjust the tension in the lines to center the water rudders.

Horizontal Stabilizer Installation

1. Fasten the fins to each end of the horizontal stabilizer (stab) with M2x6 screws.
2. Connect the elevator pushrod to the bottom hole in the elevator horn as shown.
3. Rotate the stab upward and key it into the fuselage.

Vertical Stabilizer Installation

1. Key the rudder torque rod down into the receptacle while fitting the vertical stabilizer (fin) into the fuselage. Tightly press the assembly down into position.
2. Secure the horizontal and vertical stabilizers with the M3x22 screw.

Wing Installation

1. Fasten the wing clips to both sides of the fuselage with four M3x10 screws.
2. Guide the wires from the right wing into the fuselage, then slide the wing joiner tube and the flap pushrod wire through the corresponding holes. Also guide the flap pushrod wire into the screw-lock connector on the flap servo.
3. Guide the joiner tube through the hole in the left side of the fuselage, then tightly click the wing onto the wing clips.
4. Mount the left wing the same way.
5. Mount the top of each wing strut to the wing with a M2.5×8 machine-thread screw.
6. Mount the bottom of each strut to the fuselage over the third float strut (or over the main landing gear) with a M3x16 screw.

Receiver Installation
Install your receiver on the right side of the compartment in the front of the fuselage, opposite of the electronic speed control, connecting the servos according to the labels attached to the wires. Follow the receiver manual recommendations for setup.
Battery Installation
The flight battery is installed in the angled middle section of the front fuselage compartment and is held in place by the included adhesive back hook and loop material.

1. Cut two 1-inch (25mm) strips from the rough, “hook” side of the included adhesive back hook and loop material.
2. Apply the strips inside the fuselage where shown and press them down tightly to adhere.
3. Cut a 3-inch (76mm) strip from the soft, “loop” side and attach it to the battery

ESC Operation

1. Move the throttle stick to the lowest position.
2. Connect battery pack to the ESC.
   The motor emits one low, long tone, the respective number of medium-length mid-tones indicating the battery cell count, followed by three rising tones to indicate the ESC is armed.

Connect the Rudder and Elevator

1. Power on the transmitter, fully lower the throttle stick, and center the trims.
2. Connect the battery to the ESC. TIP : A magnetic screwdriver, or a small magnet stuck to a screw driver to make it magnetic, will be helpful for the next couple of steps.
3. Remove the screw from the connector on the elevator servo arm.
4. Lightly wet the threads of the screw with threadlocker.
5. Reinstall the screw, but do not tighten yet. With the transmitter and receiver on, center the elevator and tighten the screw to secure the pushrod.
6. Repeat the same procedure for the rudder, making sure it is centered. Lock the pushrod in place on the servo arm with the screw and threadlocker.
7. Disconnect the battery and power off the transmitter.

Connect the Lights, Flaps, and Ailerons

1. Connect the wing lighting wires and the aileron servo wires to the lighting aileron and flap wiring harnesses coming from the receiver.
2. Turn on the transmitter and install and connect the battery. Then install and secure the hatch.
3. Move the dial or switch on your transmitter that controls the flaps to the “up” position, rotating the flap servo arm clockwise. Remove the screw in the flap servo arm, wet the threads with threadlock, and then reinstall and tighten the screw so the flaps will be in their fully retracted (“up”) position.
4. With the system still on, make sure the ailerons are centered and aligned with the wing tips. If necessary, apply a few clicks of aileron trim to get the ailerons centered. TIP: If more than a few clicks of trim are required, or if you cannot get both ailerons neutralized, a small screwdriver may be used to pop off one or both aileron servo covers to access the pushrods. Adjust the pushrods in the connectors to get the ailerons centered. When finished, replace the cover, press into position, and hold in place with tape or a dab of glue.

Safety Precautions and Warnings

As the user of this product, you are solely responsible for operating in a manner that does not endanger yourself and others or result in damage to the product or the property of others.

• Always keep a safe distance in all directions around your model to avoid collisions or injury. This model is controlled by a radio signal subject to interference from many sources outside your control. Interference can cause momentary loss of control.
• Always operate your model in open spaces away from full-size vehicles, traffic and people.
• Always carefully follow the directions and warnings for this and any optional support equipment (chargers, rechargeable battery packs, etc.).
• Always keep all chemicals, small parts and anything electrical out of the reach of children.
• Always avoid water exposure to all equipment not specifically designed and protected for this purpose. Moisture causes damage to electronics.
• Never place any portion of the model in your mouth as it could cause serious injury or even death.
• Never operate your model with low transmitter batteries.
• Always keep aircraft in sight and under control.
• Always use fully charged batteries.
• Always keep transmitter powered on while aircraft is powered.
• Always remove batteries before disassembly.
• Always keep moving parts clean.
• Always keep parts dry.
• Always let parts cool after use before touching.
• Always remove batteries after use.
• Always ensure failsafe is properly set before flying.
• Never operate aircraft with damaged wiring.
• Never touch moving parts.

Control Throws

Because the servos and pushrods are factory installed the control throws should be correct. Because of the effect the control throws have on a model, it’s always a good idea to confirm they are correct.

1. Confirm the controls respond in the correct direction according to control inputs from the transmitter. If necessary, use the servo reversing program in your transmitter to change the servo direction of any controls that are moving the wrong way.
2. If the aircraft is configured with the conventional landing gear, prop up the back of the fuselage so the wings and stab are level.

3. Measure and set the control throws according to the measurements below. Measure the throws at the widest part (front-to-back) of each surface.
   Recommended Control Throws

   | High Rate| Low Rate
   Up| Down| Up| Down
   Elevator| 11mm| 11mm| 8mm| 8mm
   Ailerons| 13mm| 13mm| 10mm| 10mm
   Rudder| 32mm| 32mm| 22mm| 22mm
   Flap| | 11mm| |

If any of the control throws require adjustment use the programming in your transmitter to increase or decrease the throws accordingly. If the programming isn’t enough or if your radio doesn’t have adjustable throws, the pushrod connectors on the servo arms can be relocated in different holes inward or outward to increase or decrease the throw—moving the pushrods inward on the servo arms decreases the throw and moving the pushrods outward on the servo arms increases the throw.

Propeller and Spinner Installation

Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in severe injury to yourself and others.

• Wear safety glasses whenever in the proximity of a spinning propeller.
• Do not operate the motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the propeller may throw such material in your face or eyes.
• Keep spectators as well as your own face and body out of the plane of rotation of the propeller.
• Never connect the battery to the ESC while indoors with the propeller installed.
• Always remove the propeller when testing or making repairs to the model.
• Always stay behind the arc of the propeller when handling the model.
• Always assume the motor may start unexpectedly when the flight battery is connected.
• Always remain outside the arc of the propeller when installing and/or removing the flight battery.
• Keep all loose clothing, long hair or any other loose objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall out pockets away from the propeller.

1. Secure the backplate, propeller, washer and nut. Make sure the assembly is secure to the aircraft.
2. Tighten the two Phillips head screws to the spinner.

Center Of Gravity (CG)

Same as the control throws, the center of gravity has a great effect on how every model flies.

• If the model is tail heavy it may be unstable and respond too quickly to the controls.
• If the model is nose heavy it may be too stable and not respond fast enough.

Either case may possibly cause a crash.
IMPORTANT: Do not overlook this important procedure.

1. Mark the forward and aft C.G. limits on both sides of the bottom of the wing 2 and 2-1/2in (51mm and 64mm) back from the leading edge where shown—using narrow strips of tape will allow you to feel the marks when lifting the model with your fingertips to balance.
2. Install the battery, battery hatch and cabin hatch. At this point the Beaver must be in ready-to-fly condition with everything attached and installed including the floats or wheels and battery and propeller.
3. Lift the model by your fingers between the lines indicating the balance range. As long as the Beaver sits level with your fingers on the forward or aft lines or anywhere between the lines it is properly balanced and ready to fly. If you have to move your fingertips outside the lines the Beaver is out of balance and should not be flown. If necessary, add squares of stick-on lead to the nose or tail to get the Beaver to balance within the specified range.

Before Every Flight

To help avoid flight accidents, ground inspections should be performed prior to every flight.

• Ensure all screws are secure, the servo arms and horns are properly connected and the wing is properly secured.
• Install the recommended battery (not included), adjusting the placement to ensure the center of gravity is correct, as recommended in the manual.
• Ensure both the flight battery and the transmitter battery are undamaged and fully charged.
• Ensure the transmitter throttle stick is at the lowest position prior to powering on the aircraft.
• After the aircraft is powered on, perform a control surface check to ensure both proper travel and the surfaces return to neutral when the transmitter sticks are returned to neutral.
• With all body parts and loose items away from the propeller and the aircraft securely held, gently push the throttle up to check for correct rotation of the propeller.
• For inexperienced pilots, always seek assistance from an experienced pilot.

Flying Tips

When powering the aircraft on, make sure the throttle stick is in the minimum (0%) position. Always power on the transmitter before plugging the battery into the plane.
The aircraft flies mostly the same as any similar, high-wing airplane, but you may find that the roll rate is a little slower. This suits the Beaver well as it is a scale-like, STOL (Short TakeOff and Landing) craft. Just give yourself more time and altitude before trying your first full roll.
Flying With Flaps
The only peculiarity arises when the flaps are extended—if you extend the flaps too soon before the Beaver has lost enough flying speed the nose will pitch up. Avoid this by making sure you have given the Beaver enough time to slow after cutting the throttle. You can also roll in the flaps gradually. If you have a computer radio you could also mix in some down elevator with flaps. Once the Beaver reaches “equilibrium” and has initiated a gliding descent the nose will resume a normal, downward glide angle. Similarly, when powering up the throttle with the flaps extended the nose will pitch up. Be prepared to counter with down elevator.
Flying From Water
Taken verbatim from our flight log book… “Flying the Beaver from water with floats can be described with many adjectives including astonishing, easy, fun, smooth, remarkable, etc.”
Unless weather conditions are poor, you should have no trouble flying the Beaver from either rough or calm water. The water rudders direct the Beaver well and they don’t have to be perfectly centered to be effective (so don’t spend an exorbitant amount of time on the work bench working on them!). The Beaver turns more tightly at idle speeds, so if you need to do a U-turn throttle back to bring the Beaver around. At higher speeds during a takeoff run the water rudders have the correct amount of effectiveness to steer the Beaver on its intended path. Takeoffs can be long and graceful or short and steep—either way the floats handle the water well. If the winds are really high the Beaver can still be flown from water, but avoid turning it directly across the wind. The wind can get under the wing and flip the aircraft over. In the air, the only effect of the floats is that the Beaver flies slightly slower.
Power Consumption
Flying “normally” (using half-throttle for general cruising and full-throttle only when required) the Beaver consumes about 200mAh/minute for recommended flight times of about 7 minutes with an 1800mAh battery and about 8.5 minutes with a 2100mAh battery. Flying more aggressively using higher throttle settings, the current draw increases closer to 260mAh/minute for recommended flight times of 5.5 minutes with an 1800mAh battery and 6.5 minutes with a 2100mAh battery.
To find out for yourself how long you can fly, set your timer to a conservative 5 minutes. Fly until the timer sounds, then land. Use a charger with a digital display to find out how much capacity it took to recharge the battery (indicating how much capacity was used). To avoid over discharging your LiPos use only 80% of your battery’s capacity, so multiply your battery’s capacity by .8 to find out how much you have available. Compare the capacity used to 80% of your battery’s capacity and adjust your flight time accordingly.
For example: If you’re using the recommended 1800mAh battery, your target capacity to use for a flight is 1440mAh (1800mAh x.8 = 1440mAh). If you fly for five minutes and it takes 1000mAh to recharge your battery, you still have 440mAh to go before you should land, so adjust your timer to increase your flight time accordingly until you reach your 1440mAh target. (You could also divide 1000mAh by five minutes to figure a current consumption rate of 200mAh/minute. Divide 1440mAh by 200mAh/minute to conclude that you can fly for 7.2 minutes [7 min. 12 sec.]—but round down to 7 minutes.)
When powering down, always unplug the battery from the plane before turning the transmitter OFF.
It’s also a great idea to use a LiPo battery checker (HCAP0275) to check the battery before each flight (to make sure you haven’t inadvertently grabbed a discharged battery) and to check the battery after flight to make sure you haven’t over discharged your battery by flying too long. A safe, conservative, minimum voltage is 3.65V – 3.7V per cell right after a flight.
One final note about flying your model. Have a goal or flight plan in mind for every flight. This can be learning a new maneuver(s), improving a maneuver(s) you already know, or learning how the model behaves in certain conditions (such as on high or low rates). This is not necessarily to improve your skills (though it is never a bad idea!), but more importantly so you do not surprise yourself by impulsively attempting a maneuver and suddenly finding that you’ve run out of time, altitude or airspeed. Every maneuver should be deliberate, not impulsive. For example, if you’re going to do a loop, check your altitude, mind the wind direction (anticipating rudder corrections that will be required to maintain heading), remember to throttle back at the top, and make certain you are on the desired rates (high/low rates). A flight plan greatly reduces the chances of crashing your model just because of poor planning and impulsive moves. Remember to think.

Repairs

Parts damaged beyond repair can be purchased separately. Often parts can be repaired and you can get your Beaver back into the air with a little glue and ingenuity.
The Beaver is made from injection-molded EPO (expanded polyolefin) foam which can be glued with just about anything. Most people use regular CA. With CA no clamping is required, but some prefer softer, more flexible adhesives such as white glue or canopy glue. These will require clamps or tape to hold the parts together while the glue dries.

Electronic Speed Control Calibration

IMPORTANT : Because different transmitters have different throttle ranges, calibrate throttle range before flying.
CAUTION: Remove the spinner and propeller before performing the electronic speed control calibration procedure. Failure to remove the propeller may cause serious injury in the event of accidental motor startup.

1. Move the throttle stick to the highest position.
2. Connect battery to the ESC. The motor will emit one low, long tone to indicate startup, then the respective number of medium-length mid-tones to indicate the battery cell count. The motor sounds 2 long tones (B—B—), which means the highest position of the throttle range is recognized by the ESC.
3. Move the throttle stick to the lowest position within 2 seconds of the tones. The ESC recognizes the low throttle position and exits the throttle range calibrating process.
