2. Safety instructions

Please read all enclosed instructions carefully before assembly and first use!
You will receive important instructions for the use of the product. Keep these instructions for information or for ordering spare parts. If you are operating remote-controlled model aircraft, helicopters, cars or boats for the first time, we recommend that you ask an experienced model pilot for help.

Remote-controlled models are not toys and may only be used and operated by young people under 14 years of age under adult supervision. Their construction and operation requires technical understanding, careful craftsmanship and safety-conscious behaviour. Errors 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 and operation of the models, express reference is made to these dangers and any liability is excluded. Propellers, rotors on helicopters, propellers on ships and generally all moving parts pose a constant risk of injury. Avoid touching such parts at all costs.

Note that motors, regulators and exhaust systems can reach high temperatures during operation. Avoid touching such parts at all costs. Never stay in the danger zone of propellers or rotating parts when electric motors with drive battery are connected. Also make sure that no other objects come into contact with rotating parts!

ATTENTION:    Protect your installation from dust, dirt and moisture.

ATTENTION:    Do not expose the units to excessive heat, cold or vibration.

ATTENTION:    Remote control operation may only be carried out within the specified temperature range.

ATTENTION:    Use only recommended chargers and charge your batteries only up to the specified charging time and under supervision.

ATTENTION:    Follow the instructions of the battery manufacturer. Overcharging or incorrect charging can cause the batteries to explode. Also pay attention to the correct polarity.

ATTENTION:    Always check your equipment for damage and replace defective ones with original spare parts..
Check glue joints and screws connection before each flight

ATTENTION:    Do not use equipment that has been damaged by falling or has become wet, even if it is dry again!
Either have it checked at the service centre or replace it.

ATTENTION:    Wet conditions or crashes can cause hidden faults that lead to a functional failure after a short period of operation.

ATTENTION:    Only components and accessories recommended by us may be used.

ATTENTION:    No modifications of any kind may be made to the remote control equipment.

ATTENTION:    Never shorten the antenna cable on the receiver, you may lose control of your aircraft!

ATTENTION:    Never attach the antenna cable to metallic objects or chrome-coated plastic parts or even shorten it, as this will result a total loss of range!

ATTENTION:    Allow all electronic components, especially motors + controllers to cool down sufficiently after each flight.

6. Charging the flight battery

The enclosed charger is used to safely charge LiPo batteries.
ATTENTION: Please follow all safety instructions from ALL enclosed instructions for use and safety data sheets exactly! All instructions must be taken seriously, failure to do so may result in fire, chess damage or even injury.

Battery warning:
– By handling, such as charging/discharging/use as well as storage, you assume the risk that exists for LiPo batteries.
– If the battery starts to swell, immediately stop the activity you are carrying out.
– Store the battery at room temperature in a dry environment. Do not store in a car and do not expose to direct sunlight.
– Charge LiPos only with designated chargers for LiPo batteries.
– Do not discharge below 3V/cell.
– Do not charge unattended and never charge damaged batteries.
– Never charge or store the battery in the model!

Charging process:
The AC-3510 charger is supplied with the kit for this model. Please read the following instructions carefully. Place the battery on a fireproof surface for charging and charge it outside the model! Only use pre-charged batteries for range tests and binding processes.

7. Loader specification

Operating steps:

1. Plug the charger into a 100-240V AC power source – the power LED will start flashing green.
2. Connect the 2S or 3S battery to the respective charging output using the balancer connector. Only connect one battery! The Charge LED lights up red when charging.
3. As soon as the LED is constantly green, charging is complete.

Functional description:

If the battery voltage is above 4.18V per cell, no charging process is started, the charge LED lights up constantly. If the battery voltage is below 0.7V, no charging process is started – the battery has been deeply discharged. If the battery voltage is below 2.8V, charging is started slowly. If the voltage does not rise above 2.8V within half an hour, the charger recognises the battery as defective. The Charge Led flashes very quickly and charging is stopped.

Self-test:

The charger will perform a self-test every time it is connected to a voltage source. In the event of a malfunction, the charge LED will flash very quickly. If a full battery is connected, i.e. with 4.2V per cell, the charge LED flashes twice and then burns constantly – no further charging takes place.

Troubleshooting:

1. power LED does not light up – power cable is not seated correctly, polarity reversed at the voltage source.
2. charging interrupts and restarts – voltage source offers too little voltage and/or power.
3. charge LED does not light up – reconnect battery, test voltage of battery.
4. charge LED flashes quickly – battery is defective or charging function is disturbed. Disconnect battery and contact service.

8. Undervoltage protection of the flight controller:

A LiPo battery produces little power below 3V per cell. The speed controller therefore protects the battery from this deep discharge by means of a protective function. This protection works either by (1) reducing the power consumption by regulating the motor back or (2) by completely switching off the motor.

9. Assembling the model:

9.1 Assembling the wing

1. the aileron servo has already been set to zero position in the factory, secure the clevises with pieces of silicone tubing against opening.

Insert the wing through the fuselage opening.

3. lead the cable to the aileron servo through the opening towards the cabin.

4. mount the cover under the wing with double-sided tape.

9.2 Receiver connection:

1. Plug the aileron servo cable into the correct receiver input = Aileron.

Speed controller goes on channel 3 = Throttle.
Elevator to channel 2 = Elevator.

Aileron to channel 1

2. The receiver should be placed in the rear cabin area, behind the servos. The cables must not obstruct the servo movement!

9.3 Battery position:

Fasten the battery, e.g. with Velcro tape as shown in the picture. The centre of gravity can be adjusted by changing the position.

9.4 Mounting the tailplane.

1. push the tailplane from the rear to the front into the gap at the end of the fuselage – not too tight and with the decoration facing upwards! Do not use glue yet!

2. The foam nose helps with positioning. Do not press beyond the position.

3. Align the tailplane parallel to the wing.

4. mark the correct position by carefully drawing thin lines on the tail- plane with a pencil.

5. view of the tailplane after marking from above.

6. the bottom view of the tailplane with the foam nose.

7. Now carefully apply glue to the marked areas on the top and bottom.

8. Now slide the tailplane into position in the fuselage. The longer you wait, the more difficult this will be, because the glue tightens quickly and becomes thicker.

9.4 Dismantling the propeller:

1. disassemble the propeller by holding the hub with tweezers or pointed pliers and unscrewing the spinner with a thin screwdriver that fits through the hole.

2. Before removing the propeller from the hub, mark the propeller (e.g. carve a cross on the surface) so that it can be re-installed later in the correct orientation.

9.5. centre of gravity settings

You can move the battery to set the correct centre of gravity in the cabin area.
For the beginning, the model should be slightly top-heavy. For further flights you can then adjust the centre of gravity according to your preferences.

1. the recommended centre of gravity is 52mm measured from the leading edge (leading edge) of the top of the wing – with battery on board of course!

2. on the underside of the wing you will find a “CG” mark on each side. Balance the model here with one finger each. The model should now nose down slightly – then the centre of gravity fits for the first flight.

10 Preparations for the flight

1. The built-in speed controller has a start-up protection, which prevents the motor from starting accidentally when the battery is connected and the throttle is not at zero.
As soon as the throttle is at zero, the speed controller will beep once for each battery cell connected (2S Lipo = 2 x beeps).

Caution: Always handle carefully in the propeller area when a battery is connected. 2.

2. The motor and speed controller have already been connected at the factory and the direction of rotation should be correct. If, contrary to expectations, the direction of rotation is not correct, it can be reversed by swapping two motor cable connections.

3. The speed controller has an optional brake function, the default setting is no brake and we recommend that you leave this setting as it is. To change this function, set the throttle of the controller to full throttle and then connect the battery. After the beep, set the throttle to zero and disconnect the battery. Now, in this zero position of the throttle lever, connect the battery again – the brake is now activated and the motor is ready to start. To deactivate the brake function, carry out the whole process again.

4. battery selection and installation: We recommend a 7.4V 2S 350mAh 20C LiPo battery. If you want to use other LiPo sizes, please note that they do not have more than 2S or 7.4V nominal voltage. Also, the centre of gravity may not be as easily adjustable with heavier batteries.

10.2 Binding Procedure

1. switch off the transmitter, connect the signal line of the controller to the third channel of the receiver and then connect the battery to the controller as well.

2. the orange status light flashes slowly when the receiver is switched on.

3. press the binding switch with a small pointed object – the orange status light will flash quickly.

4. return the throttle to the lowest position and switch on the transmitter.
   Once the transmitter and receiver are paired, the status light on the receiver will be solid.

5. switch off the entire system, connect all servos according to the flight manual.
   Make sure the polarity of each connector is correct.

6. Move each control stick and check that the servos respond in the correct direction.

7. Repeat the previous steps if the system does not work.

*Note: The M. Bus channel is connected to the flight controller via a servo harness.

To make the following adjustments, we recommend that you do not mount the propeller as there is a risk of injury if the motor starts unintentionally!

Tip: All control levers and trimmers on the transmitter should be in the neutral position, the throttle should be at zero. Both ailerons should move up and down equally.

1. Now check the correct rudder deflection direction using the following diagram.
You can reverse the respective deflection direction using the reverse switches on the transmitter.

2. The servo arms should all be at right angles. You can readjust using the transmitter’s trim function. With computer transmitters, this can also be done using the “sub-trim” or “servo centre” function. 3.

3. By default, the outermost hole of each lever is used, but you can also use the holes further inwards, which will increase the deflections and make the model more aerobatic.

4. align the elevator and aileron in parallel by turning the clevises on the linkages either in or out. The clevises have small pins that must engage the holes in the levers. Always open and close the clevises with care.

Note: Secure the clevises with a piece of silicone tube to prevent accidental opening.

10.3 Checking the direction of motor rotation

The motor should rotate clockwise when you look at it from behind.

10.4 Propeller installation

Mount the propeller so that the printed markings (diameter/pitch) on the propeller face forward. Secure the seat well by tightening the spinner.

10.5 Canopy assembly. 1:

1. snap the canopy into the two guides at the front by means of the lug and at the rear.

10.6 Steering in flight:

Always make smooth steering movements in flight. All directions are given as if you were at the controls in the aircraft.

Tips:

1. fly faster and slower: When the model is flying steadily the speed can be increased by applying throttle. It also makes the model start to climb. Reducing the throttle slows down the flight and the model starts to sink.
2. roll right/left: The model can be rolled to the right or left using the aileron stick.
3. elevator descend/ascend: Lever forward – the model descends, lever back the model rises.
4. rudder left/right: lever to the left – model turns left, lever to the right – model turns right (as if you were sitting in the cockpit).

Accelerate to fly faster and also to climb

Aileron: Roll to the left                Roll to the left

Elevator: Rise                                 Sink

   *Note: The M. Bus channel is connected to the flight controller via a servo harness.

11.3 Precautions

1. If you are an inexperienced pilot, seek the help of a flight instructor who can help you set up your aircraft. Since RC models are not toys, improper operation can improper operation can lead to serious accidents or injuries.
2. Please follow all rules and regulations when flying your aircraft as local regulations may vary from region to region.
3. Always check that your RC system has sufficient range. Perform a range check by moving the control sticks while moving away from the model. The aircraft should respond within 50 steps.
4. Make sure that the battery is supplying enough power. If the low voltage alarm sounds and the orange LED indicator flashes replace the remote control batteries to ensure safe operation of the aircraft.
5. The MODSTER 2.4GHz transmitter is only paired with its own receivers. Receivers from other manu facturers do not work.
