IMPORTANT NOTES

CONTENTS OF SET

IMPORTANT NOTE
The jib boom and main boom are fitted with silicone rings. Adjust the position of the rings on the booms so that you can easily adjust the closing and opening angle of the jib and mainsail.

BASIC BOAT TERMINOLOGY

• Bow: the front of the boat
• Stern: The back of the boat
• Port: This is the left side of the boat when view the boat from the stern.
• Starboard: This is the right side of the boat when view from the stern.
• Hull: The body of the boat.
• Deck: The top of the boat
• Keel: a weighted blade the protrudes from the bottom of the hull as a means of providing lateral stability.
• Rudder: The hinged vertical plate mounted at the stern that controls steering.

INSTALL TRANSMITTER BATTERIES
Only use full batteries for the remote control.

1. Make sure that the remote control is switched off.
2. Open the battery compartment by sliding the cover down.
3. Insert four AA batteries. Pay attention to the polarity.
4. Close the battery compartment.

NOTE: When switching on the remote control, make sure that the left lever is in the neutral position. When you switch on the remote control, a “beep” sound is heard and the green status light flashes.

ASSEMBLY

BOAT STAND ASSEMBLY

• Attach the two long tubes in the side panels.
• Attach the four protectors to the top of the stand. These protect the hull from scratches.

KEEL ASSEMBLY

•  Attach the two keels to the underside of the hull. Pay attention to the direction and make sure that the keel is pushed all the way down and sits firmly on the hull.

SAILS, MAST AND BOOMS ASSEMBLY

• Place the boat on the stand for the next step. Remove the sail, mast, and boom from the packaging.

SAIL RIGGING

1. Attach the mast to the mast bracket.
2. Use the cord at the rear end of the center spar to attach it to the hook of the upper boom. Adjust the clamping slider to pull the cord taut.
3. Use the rope at the front end of the center spar to attach it to the hook on the top boom.
4. Adjust the clamping slider so that the forestay cord is pulled tight and straight.
5. There is a cord loop attached to the silicone ring on the centre spar. Use this cord loop to attach the hook under the jib boom. Adjust the silicone ring to pull the rope taut.
6. Thread the jib boom line through the eyelet (front to back) in the center spar, thread it through the deck eyelet on the front sheeting deck and attach the cord loop to the bracket.
7. Thread the main boom line through the deck eyelet on the center spar. Then thread it through the deck eyelet on the front sheeting deck and attach it to the bracket.
8. Adjust the silicone rings B & C on the main boom to adjust the distance of the main sail.

INSTALL RECEIVER BATTERIES

• IMPORTANT NOTE: Always switch on the remote control before switching on the receiver. Always switch off the receiver first and then the remote control.
• Insert three AAA 1.5V batteries into the battery box, paying attention to the polarity. Place the battery box in the fuselage and secure it with the hook and loop tape. Make sure the left lever is in the neutral position and switch on the remote control.
• Switch on the receiver by pushing the linkage forward to the “ON” position. The LED on the receiver lights up, the remote control emits a beep-beep sound and the green status LED lights up continuously.

TRANSMITTER AND RECEIVER BINDING
The remote control and the receiver connect automatically when they are switched on. It is not necessary to press a button to establish the connection. Just make sure that there are no other remote controls or receivers in the vicinity when the transmitter and receiver connect.

PREPERATION FOR SAILING

Before sailing your sailboat for the first time, always switch on the remote control before switching on the receiver and always switch off the receiver before switching off the transmitter.
Follow the process below to check the steering and boat functions:

1. The BINARY is supplied with a 2.4 GHz 4-channel remote control. Note the functions of the transmitter.
2. When the sail control stick is in position A, the main boom and jib boom should be in position A as shown. When the stick is in position B, the boom should move to position B.
3. You may need to neutralise the sail servo position by pressing the sail trim buttons up or down.
4. With the rudder control stick, when the stick is pushed to the left, the rudder should move to the left. When pressed to the right, the rudder should move to the right.
5. The rudder neutral position can also be set with the trim buttons to the left or right.
6. Adjust the silicone ring on the center spar so that the jib boom is pulled taut.
7. Push the left stick to the lowest position. This causes the winch servo to pull the jib boom cord and the main boom cord taut.
8. Adjust the position of the silicone ring on the main boom so that the main boom is on the centerline of the crossbeam when the winch servo pulls the main boom cord taut.
9. Adjust the silicone ring on the boom so that the rear end of the jib boom is 15-20mm away from the mast when the winch servo pulls the boom cord taut.
10. Push the left-hand control stick up to the highest position to check whether the mainsail and jib open freely or not.
11. Finally, glue the two PVC hatches to the recesses on the hull deck.

When the boat reaches a dangerous pitch angle in gusty winds, the built-in intelligent angle detection system automatically releases the sails and the boat returns to the correct position. The intelligent sail control significantly minimises capsizing.

SAILING THE BINARY

Unlike propeller-driven boats, which you can stop and accelerate, sailing boats present an interesting challenge. Sailing requires constant reaction to water movement, gusts of wind and changes in wind direction. These influences then require you to adjust your rudder and sail position to achieve the best possible course. There is no substitute for experience “on the water” and after the initial tests, you may wish to re-read this manual to gain a better understanding of the “art” of sailing. When learning to sail, it is useful to pick up as much sailing terminology as possible. This will make it easier for you to understand some aspects.

HOW TO SAIL ORION

1. Sail the Binary only on still waters. Never sail your boat on flowing waters, such as streams or rivers, where it is easy to lose control of your boat.
2. Do not sail the Binary in strong winds.
3. Never try to swim to a boat that is stuck! Wait patiently for the wind currents to bring the boat back to shore.
4. After sailing, remove the deck patches and allow the inside of the boat to dry out completely. Failure to do so may result in corrosion of the electronic components.
