Adjustmen orderCharge method of batteryCharge method：1.Turn off the transmitter, connect the transmitter with the charger in the kits(Note: Please make sure the transmitter be off before charging, It will not charged unless it is off) 2.check it the input voltage is same as the main voltage, the plug the charger into the socket.3.the charging time should be no more than 5 hours, it should be recharged if it has been unused in long time.Remark:1. only the 9.6V Ni-He rechargeable battery can be charged, the dry cell should not be charged.2 order to prolong the life of battery, please do not charge more than the required time.Open the battery bay, and range the 8 cells AAA battery into the battery bay, then close the bay.Before adjustment, change the reverse switch to the lower positon(Nor). Open the transmitterand the receiver, and do the following steps:1.check every servo`s movement and make sure every movement of control arms and servo arms is correct If not, please change the switch for reverse.2.Check the centering position of ailoren,elevator and rudder Open the transmitte r an d conne ct t h epower to motor. Make sure every servo is in cetering positon and check servo armh as a 9 0 a ngel w ith servo. Adjust the length of controll rod, and check all control arm is in neutral position.3.Adjustment for range Check the movement range and the centering positon of each servo. If the travelling range is not accepted, that can be adjusted by the position of clevise on the servo arm. 4.Check the connection of ESC and Motor Check the joystick for throttle movement is in accordance with motor. If not, it is can be adjusted by reverse switch. 5.Check the tiny mix for every control horn.www.art-tech.com 13
Explaination for Technical words CH1 CH2CH2 CH1120°120° 120°FrontHere are some technical words used in this ManualAileron:Either of two movable flaps on the wings of an airplane that can be used to control the plane's rolling and banking movementsElevator:A movable control surface, usually attached to the horizontal stabilizer of an aircraft, that is used to produce motion up or down.Rudder:A similar structure at the tail of an aircraft, used for effecting horizontal changes in course.Throttle:A valve that regulates the flow of a fluid, such as the valve in an internal-combustion engine that controls the amount of vaporized fuel entering the cylinders.(For electronic plane, it can adjust the currency) Channel:that means the quantity of isolated operation,and also can indicate the number of servosJoystick: a stick that can be used to control operation on the transmitterProportional Radio:the servo is controlled by that radio and th e serv o arm s ca n mo ve proportionally and this kind of radio can be called proportional radio Modulation Mode:Usually there are two modulation mode in radio controll system: AM and FM. Normall y FM i s chose d fo r mode l plane.A s wel l, ther e ar e tw o mod e i n signa l code communication:PPM and PCMNeutral:Without operation, joysticks in the center position and the servo arm will come to center.Control Horn: a pole that can connect the servo and control set.Servo Arm: a part of servo,and it can transit the servo movement to the control horn.With many shpaes, and it should be fixed to the servo by screw.V tail mixer: see the following figureConnect the elevator Connect the aileronTriang wing mixer: see the following figureConnect the aileron Connect the elevatorCH6 CH1CH2CCPM Mode: The helicopter pitch is controlled by three servos combinedAileron Action: Servos for CH1 and CH 6 move in opposite direction synchronously, and the inclined tray set moves rightward and leftwardElevator Action: Three servos move in same space, the inclined tray set move backward and frontward.Pitch Action: Three servos move in the same direction synchronously, and the inclined tray set moves upward and downward horizontallywww.art-tech.com14
