BATTERY INSTALLATION
In order to achieve the correct CG in the Mamba 10 G2 the flight battery needs to be placed behind the hatch opening. In order to facilitate this a
removable battery tray has been provided.
1.
Push the spring-loaded battery latch tab back to release the battery hatch. Lift the hatch away from the fuselage, starting at the front.
2.
Remove the battery tray by loosening the thumb screw. Slide the tray forward as you gently lift the tray away from the fuselage.
3.
Install an adhesive-backed hook strip to the battery tray, and an adhesive-backed loop strip to the battery.
4.
Place the battery on the tray, and secure it in place with the hook and loop strap provided.
5.
Re-install the tray into the battery compartment by aligning the rear tabs on the tray with the appropriate slots in the fuselage sub-frame.
Once seated in place, secure the tray to the sub-frame using the thumb screw.
6.
Reinstall the hatch, and confirm that the latch has positively engaged.
WARNING
When making adjustments to linkages,
transmitter settings, or the Aura 8 flight
control system, remove the propeller to
guard against accidental spool up.
CAUTION
Always keep limbs clear from the propeller when the battery is connected. After the ESC
arms, the propeller will rotate when the throttle is moved. Unlike an internal combustion
engine, electric motors apply more voltage to counteract resistance, therefore any object
that is entangled in the propeller will be severely damaged before the motor will stop
PROPELLER/SPINNER INSTALLATION
Required Tools and Fasteners
: #2 Phillips Screwdriver, 13mm Box Wrench, 2mm Hex Driver, (4) M2x8 Socket Head Cap Screws, M3x6mm
machine screw
1.
Place the prop adapter on the motor. Ensure that it is fully seated.
2.
Apply a small amount of blue threadlock to each of the (4) M2x8 socket head cap screws, and secure the prop adapter to the motor using a
2mm hex driver.
3.
Install the propeller with the convex surface facing forward. The propeller size numbers are printed on the front face of the prop and should
orient forward.
4.
Slide the prop washer on the prop adapter with the widest face aft, followed by the propeller nut. Tighten the propeller nut fully.
5.
Slide the spinner over the prop and prop shaft and secure it using the M3X6mm machine screw.
NOTICE
Spin the motor over by hand to ensure that the prop and spinner spin smoothly and true after installation.
