Instructions and User Manual

GENER AL INFORM ATION

The model is designed for the components specified by us. If you use other servos, a different motor, and a controller or propeller, please make sure they fit first. In the event of deviations, corrections and adjustments must be made by yourself. Always put the servos into a neutral position before starting construction. To do this, switch on the remote control and move the joysticks and trim buttons (except 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 manufacturer of the R/C system.

GENER AL SAFE T Y INFORM ACTION

• 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 require technical understanding, careful craftsmanship, and safety-conscious behavior.
• Mistakes or negligence during construction, flying or driving can result in considerable damage to a pro- party 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 dangerous area of rotating parts with electric motors with connected drive batteries.
• Overcharging or incorrect charging can cause the batteries to explode. Make sure the polarity is correct.
• Protect your equipment 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 has 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 leads 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 which are not described in these instructions

SAFE T Y 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.
• Ensure adequate air circulation.
• Never reach into the turning circle of the propeller during start-up – Risk of injury

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 a 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.

SAFE T Y NOTE FOR MODEL OPER ACTION

PREFACE

Congratulations on your purchase of the new SCIROCCO. The BOLT is a high- quality all-around motor glider with a dynamic flight envelope. It can be flown within a broad speed range. There are various ways of constructing the model, depending on your preferences. Therefore the solutions stated in this manual should only be considered as recommendations. For the most part, the PNP  (plug and play) version is already prefabricated. The ARF version (almost ready to fly) requires modeling experience and basic technical knowledge in construction. Thus there are different ways to achieve a model with good flight skills.  This is why most alternatives are in fact explained in the manual but not necessarily shown in the pictures. Please read this manual carefully before you start assembling the model.

FLIGHT INSTRUCTOR TIONS

• Before the first flight, observe the instructions in the „Safety Instructions“ section.
• To fly in the model, you should choose a day with as little wind as possible
• A large, flat meadow without obstacles (trees, fences power lines, etc.) is suitable for the first flights.
• Carry out another functional test of the drive and remote control.
• After assembling the model on the airfield, check once again that all model components such as wing, tail units, wing mounts, engine, linkage, etc. are firmly seated.
• For the hand start a helper should be present, who can transport the model with a not too little thrust into the air.
• The start usually takes place against the wind
•  Do not stall the model near the ground
• Do not initiate tight bends in the immediate vicinity of the ground.
• Check the reactions of the model to the rudder deflections. If necessary, the rashes after landing to increase or decrease the size accordingly.
• The minimum flight speed must be at an adequate safety altitude. Initiate the landing with sufficient speed

SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS FOR BATTERIES

• Do not immerse the battery in water or other liquids.
• Do not heat, throw into fire or microwave.
• Do not short-circuit or charge with reversed polarity
• Do not expose, deform or throw the battery to pressure
• Do not solder directly on the battery
• Do not change or open the battery
• Only charge the battery with suitable chargers, never connect it directly to a power supply unit.
• Never charge or discharge the battery or charger on a flammable surface.
• Never leave the battery unattended during charging or discharging processes.
• Never charge or discharge the battery in direct sunlight or near heaters or fire.
• Do not use the battery in places subject to high static discharge.
• Keep the battery away from children
• Do not associate leaked electrolyte with fire, as it is highly flammable and may ignite.
• The electrolyte liquid should not get into the eyes, if it does, rinse immediately with plenty of clear water and then see a doctor.
• Observe the safety instructions of the battery manufacturer and the charger manufacturer

FUSELA

1.

ARF
First install the motor on the motor mount by two M3x6 Allen screws.

2.

ARF
The servos must be placed into the designated wooden frame by already put in a neutral position. The servo arm has to be fixed in a 90°  position.

3. ARF PNP
The rudder and elevator linkage are pre-built. It just has to be adjusted in its length.

4. ARF
For the ARF version, the second M3 threaded piece must be glued into the carbon tube by thike-ned epoxy and the clevis mounted.

5.

ARF
The elevator linkage will be installed and adjusted also at the 90° servo position and neutral pivot arm.

6.

ARF
Sand the rudder control horn well and glue it into the rudder by using thickened epoxy resin.

7.

ARF
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.

8.ARF
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.

9.

ARF  PNP
Make sure the cables are clean and can not drag on the motor.

10.

ARF PNP
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. For later adjustment of the center of gravity, this can vary in its position. Only after the exact determination of the center of gravity do you make a mark on the battery and the board.

11.

ARF PNP
The receiver has its place in the rear of the wooden tray and should be fixed by velcro.

12. ARF PNP
Mount the propeller center section with propeller blades on the motor shaft. Pay attention to a firm but the sensitive tightening of the nut.  This is an aluminum thread!  Make sure that all rotating components are properly and firmly seated! Faulty installation can represent a  safety risk and cause personal and property damage!

13.

ARF
First of all, install the servos in the servo slot. The servo cables are pulled through the openings with a wire. The green 6-pin MPX  connector system should be used as the connection to the fuselage.  Then make the aileron linkage from the M3 threaded parts and clevises. Hook the aileron linkage into the rudder and servo horns (outer servo). Pay attention again to the neutral position of the rudder with a right-angled servo horn and adjust this if necessary at the clevises.

14. ARF
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 udder horn. If the servo horn is positioned in a right-angle (neutral position), the deflection of the flap should read approximately
15mm downwards.

15. ARF
Pay attention to a proper cable guide. Stash the excessive length of the leads away in the wing by surrounding them with foam to avoid nasty noises.

16. ARF
Glue the servo and rod covers only after all electronic adjustments with UHU- Por. So the linkage can still be fine-tuned
ARF PNP
A transparent strip of adhesive tape is sufficient to secure the surface connection. Optional: Because of the plywood-reinforced root ribs,  the installation of a multi-lock system and the firm gluing of the electrical wing connection is possible. If you do not want to look for the wing joiner every time on the airfield, you can also glue it firmly in the outer wing.

17.

ARF PNP
The elevator is connected to the fuselage by the carbon rod and the 2mm steel wire through the bore of the pivot arm.
Note: Make sure that the carbon rod is centered. The CFRP pin can be glued into one half of the tailplane.

18. ARF PNP
To fix the elevator on the joiner rod we just recommend high friction.

19. ARF PNP
This higher friction will be achieved by putting speed glue on the carbon tube.

20. ARF PNP
The intensity of friction can be easily adjusted by applying or grinding the hardened glue. Always pay attention to the complete curing of the superglue before putting it on the elevator!

INSTALLATION AND TUNING PROCESS

21.

ARF PNP
Insert both parts of the wing onto the wing connector and connect the plugs of the wing servos. Use M4 Allen socket screws to connect the wing with the fuselage. 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.

22. ARF PNP
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. The next step is to check the running direction and travel ways of the servos. Therefore please note the grid below.

23. ARF PNP
Mark the affiliation of the wing plugs left and right, as well as the position of the battery in the fuselage.

24. ARF PNP
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. The elevator angle of incidence is about 1- 1,5°, depending on the adjusted center of gravity.
