HobbyKing H-King Frenzy EPO Aerobatic Sports Plane LED Lights
INTRODUCTION
The Frenzy offers a stunning combination of terrific looks and a sensational flight performance. Manufactured from tough EPO it is extremely robust, however, in the event of a “less than perfect” arrival, we supply a range of spares to get you flying again in the shortest time. It is capable of a wide range of amazing aerobatic manoeuvres to thrill the experienced pilot, but with reduced control throws it provides a solid and predictable flight performance, this makes it perfect for the sports and early solo pilots. We are certain you will enjoy your new model, please take the time to read this manual thoroughly and understand its contents completely prior to commencing assembly.

EPO
EPO foam is a very tough and durable material perfect for the manufacture of model aircraft. When using screwed fixings with EPO components it is important to tighten thescrews only enough to provide a firm fixing, do not over- tighten. Excess tightening could result in the foam material becoming compressed, possibly damaging or distorting the part. Take care to ensure that all screws are tightened sufficiently to provide a firm fixing, do not over- tighten. We recommend that all fixings are checked regularly for security and safety purposes..

ASSEMBLY INSTRUCTIONS:
UNDERCARRIAGE
Fix the undercarriage halves into position with the four 2.6 x 12mm self-
tapping screws as shown in ( A). If the screws become excessively tight whilst
fixing, simply back them off a tum or two, and then continue.
Note : The undercarriage legs are angled towards the front of the fuselage.
HORIZONTAL STABILIZER
Remove the molded tab at the end of the fuselage with a sharp knife (B). Slide
the horizontal stabilizer into the fuselage slot as shown (C). Make certain
that the holes in the stabilizer line up with the corresponding fuselage
holes. If desired, a small amount of foam glue can be used for maximum
security.
VERTICAL STABILIZER & RUDDER
Install the vertical stabilizer and rudder assembly into the slot in the
fuselage. Please make certain that the tail-wheel control wire is located
correctly in the plastic hole in the rudder slot as shown (D). If desired, a
small amount of foam glue can be used for maximum security
HORIZONTAL AND VERTICAL STABILIZER FIXING
Fix the horizontal stabilizer and vertical stabilizer inposition with the two
2.6 x 35mm screws provided, (E). The screws must be tightened sufficiently to
securely fix the parts in position, however be careful not to over-tighten the
screws.
TAIL CONTROL HORNS
Connect the rudder and elevator snap-links to their respective control horns
as shown in images F & G. Minor adjustment to obtain perfect neutral positions
of the control surfaces can be achieved by rotating the plastic link on the
threaded portion of the control push-rod. Make certain the plastic link is
securely “snapped” closed when connected to the control horn.
WING ASSEMBLY
Locate the 500mm carbon wing joining spar and slide it into the round aperture of one wing panel. Locate the small plywood rear wing joiner and insert it into the rectangular aperture behind the main wing spar (H). Slide the remaining wing panel onto the exposed portion of the carbon spar. The plywood locking plate will ensure perfect alignment of the two wing halves. It is highly recommended that the joint of the wing panels is glued together for maximum security. Apply glue to the roots of the wing panels and push them together, be careful that all the wires are routed correctly via the molded slots, and that they do not foul the joint between the wing roots. Once the joint is together, temporarily wrap some tape around the joint, then screw the wing to the fuselage to ensure the perfect fit. Once the glue has dried, remove the wing and then the tape.
The Frenzy is supplied with a unique 4 way lead for joining the aileron servos and the LED lights. Connect two of the 4 leads to the aileron servos, and two of the leads to the LED lights as shown (J). The other single lead goes to the aileron port in your chosen receiver.
WING FIXING
Insert the front and rear plastic connectors into the wing, (K). They are
angled to provide a perfect fit. Make certain you have them located correctly!
The wing can now be fixed in position onto the fuselage using the three M4 x
50mm screws provided..
PROPELLER & SPINNER.
- Remove the propeller set out of its packaging.
- Disassemble the spinner using a screwdriver.
- Install the propeller assembly onto the motor shaft as shown in illustration (L).
- Using a wrench on the adapter nut, tighten the assembly onto the motor shaft.
- Re-assemble the spinner to the propeller assembly using the 2 screws.
- Assembly of propeller unit is completer.
- Securely tightening the nut will clamp the adapter to the motor shaft and fix the propeller in position.
Note : Use of excessive force will cause damage to the aluminum adapter.
Note : It is essential that the propeller is securely fixed. Failure to do so could result in serious injury.
RECEIVER INSTALLATION
Connect the speed controller to the throttle channel of your receiver, (not
included). This wire is easily identified, it is the only one that is routed
from the front of the model. Connect the rudder and elevator servos to the
corresponding channel outputs of the receiver and connect the plug on the 4
way lead to the aileron channel output. There is a molded recess in this
compartment which is sufficient to accommodate most popular 2.4GHz receivers;
however there is ample room elsewhere to locate yours if it does not fit in
the recess. We recommend that it should be securely positioned with self-
adhesive hook and loop tape. You must adhere to the receiver manufacturer
recommendations regarding positioning and aerial routing.
BATTERY INSTALLATION
The battery compartment is accessed by gently squeezing the two raised white
tags and lifting the rear of the front hinged cover, (M). Your flight battery,
(not-included) can easily be installed and connected to the factory fitted
XT60 connector, (N). Make certain the battery and cover are both secure before
flight, the battery compartment has been made bigger to except larger
batteries if required, if your battery is loose in the compartment please use
some foam sponge packing to keep it in place
CONTROL SURFACES
Check that all control surfaces are centered and responding correctly to
transmitter inputs. Adjustments can be made to control surface centers by
carefully rotating the plastic control links on the threaded portion of the
metal control rods. Use the servo reversing function on your transmitter for
any control that is not responding in the correct sense to control inputs.
Make certain that all plastic links are securely “snapped” closed and that all
control surface hinges are secure. Use a small amount of foam glue if any
hinges are not firmly attached.
PROPELLER ROTATION
Double-check that the propeller is securely fixed and it is rotating in the
correct direction, (P)
CENTRE OF GRAVITY
It is vital that you check that the center of gravity is correct. Failure to do so could result in a complete loss of control. We recommend the balance point of the model, complete with battery, should be 75 -90mm back from the leading edge of the wing for initial flights, (Q). Very experienced pilots may wish to move the balance point further back after initial flight testing.
CONTROL SURFACE DEFLECTIONS
We suggest the following recommendations for control surface deflections. Experienced pilots may wish to increase these movements after initial flight testing.
- Ailerons: 10mm each way.
- Elevator: 10mm each way.
- Rudder: 12mm each way.
We hope you enjoy many happy and safe flights with your new H-King Frenzy model aircraft. Check-out the other aircraft in the H-King range at www.hobbyking.com.
