GENERAL INFORMATION

• The model is designed for the components specified by us. Unless otherwise stated, servos and other electronic components are designed for standard supply voltage. Recommended cell count for Lipo batteries also refers to standard Lipos voltage of 3.7V per cell. If you use other servos, a different motor and controller, batteries, or propellers, please make sure they fit first. In the event of deviations, corrections and adjustments must be made by yourself.
• Before starting construction, always put the servos into neutral. To do this, switch on the remote control and move the joysticks and trim buttons (save the one for the throttle) to the middle position. Connect the servos to the corresponding outputs of the receiver and supply them with a suitable power source. Please observe the connection diagram and the operating instructions of the remote control system manufacturer.
• Do not leave your model in the blazing sun or in your vehicle for long periods of time. Too high temperatures can lead to deformation/distortion of plastic parts or blistering of covering foils.
• Before the first flight, check the wing symmetry, tail unit and fuselage. All parts of the model should have the same spacing from the left and right wing or tail plane to the centre of the fuselage or the same angle.
• If necessary, rebalance the propellers if vibrations are noticeable when the motor is running up.
• Bubble formation in the covering foils normally to a certain extent due to temperature and humidity differences and can be easily eliminated with a foil iron or hairdryer.
• For models in shell construction („full GFRP/CFRP“), burrs may occur at the seams due to the production process. Carefully remove them with fine sandpaper or a file

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• Be sure to read the safety instructions carefully before operating your model.

• Always follow the procedures and settings recommended in the instructions.

• If you are using remote-controlled model aircraft, helicopters, cars or ships for the first time, we recommend that you ask an experienced model pilot for help.

• Remote-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense and may only be used and operated by young people under 14 years of age under the supervision of adults.

• Their construction and operation requires technical understanding, careful craftsmanship and safety-conscious behaviour.

• Mistakes or negligence during construction, flying or driving can result in considerable damage to property or personal injury.
  Since the manufacturer and seller have no influence on the proper construction/assembly and operation of the models, these risks are expressly pointed out and any liability is excluded.

• Propellers on aircraft and all moving parts in general pose a constant risk of injury. Avoid touching such parts at all costs.

• Note that motors and controllers can reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid touching such parts at all costs.

• Never stay in the danger area of rotating parts with electric motors with connected drive battery.

• Overcharging or incorrect charging can cause the batteries to explode. Make sure the polarity is correct.

• Protect your equipment and Models from dust, dirt and moisture. Do not expose the equipment to excessive heat, cold or vibration.

• Use only recommended chargers and charge your batteries only up to the specified charging time. Always check your equipment for damage and replace defects with original spare parts.

• Do not use equipment that has been damaged or got wet due to a fall, even if it is dry again! Either have it checked by your specialist dealer or in the Robbe Service or have it replaced. Hidden faults can occur due to wetness or a crash, which lead to a functional failure after a short operating time.

• Only the components and accessories recommended by us may be used.

• Do not make any changes to the remote control that are not described in these instructions.

SAFETY NOTE FOR MODEL OPERATION

Attention, danger of injury!

• Always keep a safe distance from your model aircraft.
• Never fly over spectators, other pilots or yourself.
• Always perform flight figures in a direction away from the pilot or spectators.
• Never endanger people or animals.
• Never fly near power lines or residential areas.
• Do not operate your model near locks or public shipping.
• Do not operate your model on public roads, motorways, paths and squares, etc., but only in approved locations.
• Do not operate the model in thunderstorms.
• Before each flight, check your remote control system for sufficient function and range.
• After flying, remove all batteries from the model.

Do not „aim“ the transmitter antenna at the model during operation. In this direction, the transmitter has the lowest radiation. The best position of the antenna is to the side of the model. Use of devices with image and/or sound recording function: If you equip your model with a video or image recording device (e.g. FPV cameras, action scams etc.) or the model is already equipped with such a device at the factory, please note that you could violate the privacy of one or more persons by using the recording function. An overflight or driving on private ground without the appropriate permission of the owner or approaching private ground can also be regarded as an invasion of privacy. You, as the operator of the model, are solely and fully responsible for your actions. In particular, all applicable legal requirements must be observed, which can be found in the roof associations or the relevant authorities. Failure to comply can result in substantial penalties

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONTROLLERS

• Observe the technical data of the controller.
• Observe the polarity of all connection cables.
• Avoid short circuits at all costs.
• Install or package the regulator so that it cannot come into contact with grease, oil or water.
• Effective interference suppression measures on the electric motor with, for example, interference suppression capacitors
• Ensure adequate air circulation.
• Never reach into the turning circle of the propeller during start-up Risk of injury

Dealing with model aircraft and vehicles requires technical understanding and a high level of safety awareness. Incorrect assembly, incorrect adjustment, improper use or the like can lead to personal injury or damage to property. Sudden starting of connected motors can lead to injuries due to rotating parts such as propellers. Always stay away from these rotating parts when the power source is connected. All drive components should be safely and securely mounted during a function test. Use is only permitted within the scope of the technical specification and only for RC hobby applications. Before use, check that the speed controller is compatible with your drive motor or power source. Never operate the speed controller (correct speed controller) with external power supply units. Speed controllers should always be protected from dust, moisture, vibration and other mechanical stresses. Even splash-proof or waterproof equipment should not be permanently exposed to moisture or moisture. High operating temperatures or poor cooling should be avoided. The recommended temperature range should be approximately between -5°C and +50°C. Ensure proper connection and do not cause reverse polarity which would permanently damage the speed controller. Never disconnect the device from the motor or battery during operation. Use high-quality plug systems with sufficient load capacity. Avoid strong bending or tensile stress on the connecting cables. After termination of flight or driving operation, disconnect the battery to prevent deep discharge of the battery. This would cause permanent damage. For the BEC version of the controller, check that the BEC power of the device is sufficient for the servos used. Speed controllers should be installed as far away as possible from other remote control components. We recommend carrying out a range test before operation. We recommend regular checking of the controller for function and externally visible damage. Do not continue operating the controller if you notice any damage. The connection cables must not be extended. This can lead to unwanted malfunctions. Despite existing safety and protective devices of the device, damage may occur which is not covered by warranty. The warranty also expires if changes are made to the device.

Important information:

The receiver system is powered by the built-in BEC system of the controller. For commissioning, always move the throttle stick to the „Motor off“ position and switch on the transmitter. Only then connect the battery. To switch off always disconnect the connection battery motor controller, first then turn off the transmitter. During the functional test, move the servos of the rudders to the neutral position with the remote control (stick and trimming lever on the transmitter to the middle position). Please make sure to leave the throttle stick in the lowest position so that the engine does not start. For all work on to the parts of the remote control, motor or controller, follow the instructions supplied with the units. Also read the instructions of the battery and the charger carefully before commissioning. Check the engine mounting bolts in the fuselage regularly for tightness

TECHNICAL DATA

FUSELAGE

• First, install the motor on the motor mount by two M3x6 Allen screws.
• The servo board should be centred under the fuselage cutout, about 28mm below the wing root.
• Glue both parts into the fuselage with 10-min. epoxy.
• Make a fuselage harness from four servo wires and a green MPX connector. The positive and negative terminals can be combined. This will leave four pins for the impulse lines
• Draw the positions of the servo board and battery board supports in the fuselage. Sand these locations thoroughly and clean the surface.
• The battery board is fitted centrally under the cabin cut-out. Note: only the support bridges are glued, NOT the battery board itself.
• The servos must be placed into the designated wooden frame by already put in neutral position. The servo arm has to be fixed in 90° position.
• The rudder and elevator linkage are pre-built. It just has to be adjusted in its lenght
• The elevator linkage will be installed and adjusted also at 90° servo position and neutral pivot arm. This also results in the total length of the linkage.
• Open the linkage outlet with a round file. Then clip the linkage to the servo and rudder horn and adjust the linkage by the clevis to achieve a neutral rudder at 90° servo arm.
• For the ARF version, the second M3 threaded piece must be glued into the carbon tube by thikened epoxy and the clevis mounted. Make two linkages, each approx. 935mm and 1000mm long.
• Sand the rudder control horn well and glue into the rudder by using thickened epoxy resin.
• Connect the ESC to the motor and install it under the wooden tray in the front by velcro stripe. Check the running direction of the motor already now and replace if necessary two of the three cables
• Make sure the cables are clean and can not drag on the motor
• For later adjustment of the center of gravity, this can vary in its position. Only after the exact determination of the center of gravity you make a mark on the battery and the board.
• Mount the propeller center section with propeller blades on the motor shaft. Pay attention to a firm but sensitive tightening of the nut. This is an aluminum thread
• The battery will be fixed by a velcro loop on the front battery tray. To avoid slipping the battery, a strip of Velcro should also be glued to the wooden board under the battery.
• The receiver has its place in the rear of the wooden tray and should be fixed by velcro.

Caution: Make sure that all rotating components are properly and firmly seated! Faulty installation can represent a safety risk and cause personal and property damage

WINGS

• Screw the rudder horns of the ailerons tightly into the threads provided. File a small recess so that the rudder can deflect downward
• Install the servos in the servo bay as shown. Use a wire to pull the servo cables through the openings provided. Then fabricate the aileron linkages from the M3 threaded parts and clevises. Hook the aileron linkages into the rudder and servo horns (outer servo). Again, make sure the rudder is neutral with the servo horn at a right angle and adjust this at the clevises if necessary. The linkage length is approx. 86mm.
• You can choose the pin assignment yourself, but pay attention to the polarity on the opposite side! Solder the cables to the pins and insulate them with heat shrink tubing.
• The control horns of the flaps are glued under their cap with thickened epoxy. Ensure a correct angle of approx. 40° and that the rudder horn including clevis fits under the cap. The rudder horn must not stick out
• The green 6-pin MPX connector system should be used as connection to the fuselage. The Scirocco is already provided with  appropriate fits for our mounting frame
• Glue the connector to the mounting frame with super glue to form a unit and screw it into the recess.
• Glue the torsion pins with epoxy. Check the precise fit of the two wing parts to each other beforehand. If necessary, slight corrections can be made at this stage
• Pay attention to a proper cable guide. Stash the excessive length of the leads away in the wing by surrounding with foam to avoid nasty noises.
• A transparent strip of adhesive tape is sufficient to secure the surface connection
• The linkage of the flaps is realized by a crossover connection through the surface of the wing. Therefore the rod must initially be connected to the bottom side of the flap servo and routed through the upper side of the wing in order to be connected with the flap`s rudder horn. If the servo horn is positioned in a right-angle (neutral position), the deflection of the flap should read approximately 25mm downwards. To do this, manufacture a linkage approx. 82mm long.
• Glue the servo and rod covers only after all electronic adjustments with UHU-Por. So the linkage can still be fine-tuned.
• Optional ARF: The plywood-reinforced root ribs make it possible to install a Multilock system and firmly glue the electrical wing connection. There are already small recesses in the mold where the wing can be easily separated with a wedge. If you don‘t want to look for the wing connectors every time you build the wing, you can also glue them firmly into the outer wing

ELEVATOR

• The elevator is connected to the fuselage by the carbon rod and the 2mm steel wire through the bore of the pivot arm.
• This higher friction will be achieved by putting speed glue on the carbon tube.
• Always pay attention to complete curing of the superglue before putting on the elevator!
• To fix the elevator on the joiner rod we just recommend high friction.
• The intensity of friction can be easily adjusted by aplying or grinding the hardened glue.
• To prevent the pins from being lost so easily during transport, they can also be glued firmly into one tail unit half.

INSTALLATION AND TUNING PROCESS

• Insert both parts of the wing onto the wing connector and connect it together. Use M4 Allen socket screws to connect the wing with the fuselage.
• Turn your transmitter and receiver on. Make sure that the correct model is adjusted on the memory of your transmitter. If possible, try to adjust all rods mechanically
• Mark the exact battery position in the fuselage with a felt-tip pen or tape.
• Make sure that no wires are stuck between the fuselage and the wing. For securing the wing connection, a transparent strip of adhesive tape is sufficient
• The next step is to check the running direction and travel ways of the servos. Therefore please note the grid below
• The center of gravity is 94-100mm behind the leading edge. For beginner-compatible flight behavior, first set the center of gravity to 94mm. For faster all-rounder behavior, the center of gravity can slowly be moved further back.
• Elevator angle of incidence is about 1-1.5°, depending on the adjusted CG. Simpler: with the fuselage level on the fuselage skid and tailplane, the elevator end rail should have 98mm height

CONTROL THROWS

FLIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS

• Now look for a day with suitable weather conditions for the first flight. With the mentioned settings you will be spared bad surprises. We recommend, at least on the first flight, to make the start with a starting helper. Enjoy your new model aircraft and „always happy landings!“.
