1. Twist the original nose cone counterclockwise and remove it from the airplane.
2. Feed the servo lead through the hole and route it to it to the receiver. Plug it into any open port on the receiver, it is only used for power.
3. Align the FPV nose cone and rotate it clockwise to lock it in position.
Optional FPV Nose Installation (not included)
Operation on 4S LiPo Batteries (optional)
The F-27D Evolution™ aircraft can be flown out of the box on 3S and is capable of handling 4S batteries on the included speed controller, motor and propeller
combination, but the LVC setting in the ESC comes with a cutoff for a 3S battery. For 4S operation, the ESC LVC settings should be changed to a 4S LVC setting
or 74% cutoff. When power is applied to the ESC, it causes the motor to make a tone, indicating the current LVC settings. 3 even tones indicate the ESC is set
for a 3S battery LVC cuttoff, 4 tones indicate a 4S setting, and a series of ascending and descending tones indicates the generic 74% LVC cuttoff setting. The
74% Cutoff is flexible for different cell counts, but does have a potential downside; you must always start with a fully charged battery pack or LVC doesn’t work
correctly.
The EFLA1040LB ESC features a full feature programming menu with settings for the brake, timing, throttle input range, start up rate, switching frequency, and
operating mode. Only the first menu point for LVC settings should be changed for going between 3S and 4S batteries on the aircraft. The full manual for the ESC
can be found at HorizonHobby.com for more infomation.
Entering the programming mode
1. Move the throttle stick to full throttle before turning on the transmitter and then connect the battery to the ESC.
2. After indicating the current LVC setting, the motor will emit two sets of fast ringing tones to indicate the ESC is ready to be programmed. Move the throttle stick
to the center after the tones to enter the programming menu.
3. The motor will beep 1 time, which indicates the LVC menu selection. Move the throttle stick to full throttle to select the LVC menu. There is a delay of approximately
5 seconds before the next menu option. If the motor indicates the next menu point with 2 tones before moving the throttle stick, the ESC has moved on to the next
programming feature in the menu. If that happens, unplug
the battery and begin again.
4. To make the LVC selection, move the throttle stick to the
center after the tones have indicated the chosen LVC setting.
A. 3 short tones indicate a 3S LVC setting.
B. 4 short tones indicate a 4S LVC setting.
C. Skip over 5 tones for 5S LVC and 6 tones for 6S LVC.
A series of ascending and descending short tones will indicate the 74% cutoff setting.
5. The motor will emit a high and a low tone 2 times, indicating it accepted the programming selection, then continue with 2 even tones for other programming
features. Do not move the stick away from center. Unplug the battery to finish programming.
Lower the throttle before connecting the battery to the ESC for use. Subsequently, when the ESC is armed it will confirm the LVC selection by causing the motor to
emit the tones indicating the LVC setting.
NOTICE:
Failure to change the LVC cutoff to 12.0 volts for 4S operation may damage the battery.
CAUTION: The 74% cutoff option will activate the soft cutoff at 74% of the startup
voltage, or 9.2V, whichever is higher.
When using the 74% cutoff setting, it is important
to always start with a fully charged battery. Failure to start with a fully charged battery may result
in too low of an LVC setting, which could damage the battery if it is over-discharged.

Using the Video Transmitter
Consult local laws and ordinances before operating FPV equipment.
In some areas, FPV operation may be limited or prohibited. You are
responsible for operating this product in a legal and responsible manner.
We recommend becoming familiar with the flight characteristics of the aircraft
using line-of-sight prior to attempting to fly through the FPV system. After you
are comfortable flying the aicraft, follow the directions below to operate the video
transmitter in conjunction with your video monitor or goggles to explore flying via FPV.
See the Available Frequency table to find the desired video channel and band. The
video transmitter channel and band are changed using the button on the video
transmitter, as shown. There are 6 LEDs on the video transmitter board. The red
LED is the channel indicator. The next 5 blue LEDs are the band indicators.
Channel Selection:
1. Channel 1 is indicated by the red LED glowing solid.
2. Press the button to cycle through the channels (1-8). The red LED will
flash once as you cycle through each channel. Press the button once for
each channel until the desired channel is reached. If unsure of the current
transmitter channel, press the button to cycle the channels until you reach
channel 1, indicated by a solid red LED, then cycle to the channel desired.
Band Selection:
1. Press and hold the button to change the video transmitter band.
2. Each time the button is pressed and held, the blue band LED will indicate a
change to the next available band. The blue LEDs indicate FS/IRC band, band E
(North America only), band A, race band and band B, as shown in the illustration.
