RECEIVER BIND INFORMATION

Preflight

Transmitter Setup

The V-22 Osprey aircraft requires a transmitter with a minimum of six channels and one open three-position switch.

Flight Modes are selected with channel 5 (GEAR).
Expo: After the fi rst few fl ights, adjust expo up or down in the transmitter to better suit your fl ying style.
Tip: Set the throttle trim at a high idle during fl ight, and use a throttle cut switch to shut the motors off. Shutting the motors off on this aircraft will cause the model to descend rapidly in Multirotor Flight Mode. Keeping the motors turning at the low throttle point will slow the descent rate when the throttle is reduced.
Refer to your transmitter manual for additional safety information.

Computerized Transmitter Setup
(DXe*, DX6e, DX6, DX7 (Gen2), DX8 (Gen2), DX9, DX18, DX20, and iX12)
Start all transmitter programming with a blank ACRO (Airplane) model
(perform a model reset), then name the model.

• To download the V-22 Osprey setup for the DXe, DX6–DX20 or iX12 visit www.spektrumrc.com.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

This product requires an approved Spektrum™ DSM2®/DSMX® compatible transmitter. Visit www.bindnfl y.com for a complete list of approved transmitters.

IMPORTANT: Before binding a transmitter, read the Transmitter Setup section to ensure that your transmitter is properly programmed for this aircraft.

Battery Installation and ESC Arming

Battery Selection
We recommend the E-fl ite® 800mAh 11.1V 3S 30C Li-Po battery (EFLB8003SJ30). Refer to the Optional Parts list for other recommended batteries. If using a battery other than those listed, the battery should be within the range of capacity, dimensions and weight of the E-flite Li-Po battery packs to fit in the fuselage.

1. Lower the throttle to the lowest settings. Select the multirotor flight mode. Power on the transmitter and wait approximately five seconds.
2. Carefully lift the front of the battery hatch and pull forward to remove it.
3. Install the fully charged battery in the battery compartment as shown. Secure using the hook and loop tape.
4. Connect the battery to the flight controller.
5. Keep the aircraft upright, immobile and away from wind or the system may not initialize.
• The motor nacelles will rotate to the middle position briefl y and then to the upright, Multirotor fl ight position, indicating the fl ight controller has initialized and the ESCs are armed.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed, the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
6. Reinstall the battery hatch.

7. Refer to the Center of Gravity section to ensure the model balances at the recommended CG.

Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is within 25-30mm, measured from the the leading edge of the wing at the root, as shown in the illustration.

NOTICE: The main motor nacelles must be in the Airplane Flight Mode when checking the center of gravity. Failure to do so will give an incorrect center of gravity and may cause a crash. Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Flight Conditions

Motors Start/Stop
Use the Throttle trim to keep the motors turning during fl ight at low throttle.
Move the throttle trim up to start the motors at the low throttle position. Move the throttle trim down, or activate throttle cut to stop the motors after fl ight.

Stability Mode
Stability Mode limits the bank and pitch angle of the aircraft. The aircraft will self-level if you release the transmitter sticks.

Acro Mode
Acro Mode removes the bank angle limits and will not self-level the aircraft if you release the transmitter sticks. Acro Mode is intended for experienced pilots who are comfortable fl ying the aircraft in any orientation.
The following table gives the switch positions and a brief description of the possible fl ight conditions available.

Multirotor Flight Mode
Motor position may vary slightly depending on aircraft orientation and current flight mode.

Flight Control Direction Test

This test ensures that the fl ight control system is functioning properly. Assemble the aircraft, bind your transmitter to the receiver, and ensure the aircraft is in Airplane Flight Mode and throttle cut is active before performing this test. The control surfaces will not respond in Multirotor Flight Mode. Move the entire aircraft as shown in the table and ensure the control surfaces respond in the direction as shown. If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, do not fly the aircraft. Contact Horizon Product Support.

Once the flight control system is active, control surfaces may move rapidly. This is normal.

CAUTION: Keep all body parts, hair and loose clothing away from a moving propeller, as these items could become entangled.

Linkage Settings and Flight Trimming

The table to the right shows the factory settings for the control horns and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at factory settings before making any changes to the control linkages.

Trim

1. With the model sitting on the ground and the motors off, verify the motor nacelles are positioned level in Airplane Mode with Acro. Make adjustments to the length of the control linkages between the servo and the torque rod control horn to make corrections.
2. Verify the control surfaces are centered. The trailing edge of the control surfaces should be centered. With the aircraft in Airplane Flight Mode with Acro make adjustments to the length of the control linkages between the servo and control surfaces.
3. Fly the airplane and trim the aileron and elevator controls for level fl ight in Airplane Flight Mode and Acro Mode at full power.
4. Land the model and place it on a level surface with the motors off. Switch into Airplane Mode with Acro then switch from Acro Mode to Stability and back to Acro to clear the gyro. Keep the model motionless in Airplane Mode with Acro and note the trim position.

IMPORTANT: The control surfaces will respond to any movement when in Airplane Flight Mode. The control surfaces will not respond to movement in Multirotor Flight Mode.

Put the model into Airplane Mode with Acro Flight Mode to center the control surfaces.
5. Adjust the length of the control linkages to set the control surfaces at the noted trim positions.
6. Reset the transmitter trims to neutral before flying again.

Understanding the Primary Flight Controls

The V-22 Osprey aircraft has Flight Modes that make it capable of fl ying forward like an airplane or hovering like a multirotor. It is important to understand how the primary fl ight
controls function and how the aircraft reacts in both fl ight modes. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the controls prior to attempting your fi rst fl ight.

Flying Your Aircraft

Consult local laws and ordinances before choosing a flying location.
Range Check your Radio System
Before you fly, range check the radio system. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for range test information.
Just Before Flight

Once the flight control system is active, you will normally see the control surfaces react to aircraft movement.

For your first flights with the recommended battery pack (EFLB8003S30), set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 4 minutes.

NOTICE: Never fly the aircraft without first setting and activating a timer.
After 4 minutes, land the aircraft. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter flights depending on your preference and battery usage.

Takeoff
Place the aircraft on a flat, level surface with the tail facing you. Set your transmitter to Multirotor Flight Mode. Ramp up the throttle trim to keep the propellers turning.
Check that the motor nacelles are in the fully upright position in Multirotor Flight Mode before applying throttle. Gradually increase the throttle until the model is approximately 2 ft. (600mm) off the ground. Avoid forcing the aircraft into the air.
It is normal for the aircraft to lift off tail first and move forward as it lifts off.

Multirotor Flight
Try to hold the aircraft in one spot small with small corrections on the transmitter control sticks. If flying in calm winds, the model should require almost no corrective inputs. After moving the aileron/elevator stick and returning it to center the model will level itself. The model may continue to move due to inertia. Move the stick in the opposite direction to stop the movement.

After you become comfortable hovering, you can progress into flying the model to different locations, keeping the tail pointed towards you at all times. You can also ascend and descend using the throttle stick.

Once you are comfortable with these maneuvers, you can attempt flying with the tail in different orientations. It is important to keep in mind that the flight control inputs will rotate with the aircraft, so always try to picture the control inputs relative to the nose of the aircraft.

NOTICE: Do not attempt to fly backwards at a high rate of speed. While the aircraft is capable of flying backwards while in Multirotor mode, the aircraft becomes more unstable as backward speed increases.

Transitioning In Flight
To transition to Airplane Flight Mode from Multirotor Flight Mode change the flight mode switch on your transmitter to an Airplane Flight Mode. The throttle will increase slightly and the motor nacelles will rotate forward to the airplane flight position. The control surfaces become active. It is normal to have some slight oscillations in pitch as the aircraft transitions into Airplane Flight Mode. While in Airplane Flight Mode the main motors use differential thrust to provide yaw control and the tail motor does not run.

To transition to Multirotor Flight Mode from Airplane Flight Mode reduce the airspeed, change the switches on your transmitter to select the Multirotor Flight Mode for landing. The throttle will increase slightly and the motor nacelles will rotate to the vertical position. The tail motor will power on and the control surfaces will go to neutral. While in Multirotor Flight Mode the control surfaces do not move. All pitch, roll and yaw control is accomplished by differential thrust and angling of the motors.

NOTICE: Do not transition to Multirotor Flight Mode at low throttle or lower the throttle immediately after transitioning to Multirotor Flight Mode. Doing so will cause a rapid loss of altitude and possibly a crash.

Airplane Flight
Fly the aircraft and trim it for level flight per the Flight Trimming section.
The V-22 Osprey flies in a similar manner to other fixed-wing aircraft. It is capable of a wide range of conventional fl ight maneuvers including loops and rolls. Avoid negative push maneuvers, the V-22 Osprey is not intended for negative G maneuvers and may enter an unpredictable spin with hard negative push maneuvers.
Landing

Transition the aircraft into Multirotor Flight Mode and bring it into a low hover.
Slowly lower the throttle to descend to a soft landing.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate the throttle cut feature. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the airframe, as well as damage to the
ESCs, motors and motor nacelles.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
NOTICE: When you are finished flying, never leave the aircraft in direct sunlight or in a hot, enclosed area such as a car. Doing so can damage the aircraft.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)
The average flight time with a mixture of hovering and airplane flight using the recommended fl ight battery is approximately 4 minutes.
The flight controller protects the flight battery from over-discharge using
Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). When the flight battery is drained to LVC the flight controller will automatically transition the motors into Multirotor Flight Mode.
The remaining battery will last less than a minute, so land the aircraft as soon as possible.

When the battery reaches LVC in Multirotor Flight Mode the motor power is sharply reduced for an instant to warn the pilot the model has entered LVC.
In this fl ight condition the motors will slowly lose power until the ESCs cutoff.
If you notice the motors cut power for a brief moment, land immediately and re-charge the fl ight battery.

After landing, disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft to prevent trickle discharge. Charge your Li-Po battery to approximately half capacity before storage. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell. LVC does not prevent the battery from over-discharge during storage.

NOTICE: Repeated flying to LVC may damage the battery.

Tip: Monitor your aircraft battery’s voltage before and after flying by using a Li-Po Cell Voltage Checker (EFLA111, sold separately).

Repairs
Thanks to the foam material in this aircraft, repairs to the foam can be made using virtually any adhesive (hot glue, regular CA, epoxy, etc). When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.
For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the end of this manual.

Motor Service

CAUTION: Always disconnect the fl ight battery before performing motor service.
Main Motor Removal

1. Loosen the two screws clamping the motor nacelle to the torque rod.
2. Slide the motor nacelle off the torque rod.
3. Remove the screw holding the spinner on the motor shaft.
4. Remove the propeller nut.
5. Remove the propeller from the motor shaft.
6. Remove the screw on the inner forward section of the motor nacelle, which
retains the motor mount assembly.
7. Slide the motor mount assembly forward out of the nacelle.
8. Remove the fi ve screws that clamp the motor mount together.
9. Separate the motor mount and remove the motor.

Assembly is the reverse of the removal process. When assembling the motor mount, do not tighten the two rear screws that clamp the motor assembly together around the torque rod until the motor mount is installed in the nacelle and the nacelle is mounted on the torque rod. Follow the process outlined under Replacing Tilt Servos to ensure the motor nacelles are correctly aligned with the tilt servos.

Tail Motor Removal
1. Remove the spinner nut.
2. Remove the propeller from the motor shaft.
3. Remove the two screws holding the tail motor to the motor mount
4. Remove the motor and disconnect the tail motor wires from the ESC.
Assembly is the reverse of the removal process

IMPORTANT: Always install the correct rotation propellers in the correct location on the aircraft, as indicated by the diagram below. If the motor spins backward after the wires are disconnected and reconnected, swap any two of the three motor wires to reverse the motor.

CW = Clockwise
CCW = Counter Clockwise

Replacing Tilt Servos
1. Remove the wing and replace the servos as needed.
2. Reconnect the servo leads as shown in the Receiver, Servo, and ESC Connection Diagram.
3. Power on the aircraft in airplane mode with throttle cut activated.
4. Connect the pushrod to the torque rod control arm and on the outside hole of the servo horn.
5. Rotate the motor to the Airplane mode position with the stop resting on the foam and install the servo horn on the servo.
6. Verify the Multirotor and Airplane mode positions with your transmitter.
7. Install the screw holding the servo horn and mount the wing, being careful not to pinch the wires between the wing and fuselage.

IMPORTANT:
The torque rod control arm and servo arm should remain approximately parallel through the range of motion. If they are not parallel, remove the servo arm from the servo, adjust the length of the tilt pushrod so the arms are parallel, and reinstall the servo arm.

The servo should not be fighting to overdrive the tilt mechanism against the tilt stop when in Airplane mode. If the tilt servos make extra noise or strain to overdrive the tilt mechnism when in airplane mode, remove the pushrod, unthread the clevis 1/2 turn and try again.
