Dear customer,   

 

Congratulations on your choice of a 

factory-assembled model aircraft from the 

J-POWER 

and thank you for placing your trust in 

us.    

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               

Very little preparation work is required to get this 

model ready to fly. To operate your new model 

safely it is important that you read through all of 

the instructions and safety information included 

with your model, before you fly it for the first time.     

 

The illustrations in this manual show the Silver 

version of the model with factory applied decals. 

 

 

The power system 

 

The model is powered by a brushless outrunner 

motor and ducted fan, both of which are 

factory-installed on the Ready-To-Fly version. 

                                                                                   

The motor is connected to the electronic speed 

controller which is factory calibrated on the 

Ready-To-Fly version. All that is required is to 

charge the Li-Po battery, following the safety 

instructions, and connect the battery to the 

electronic speed controller. 

                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

The radio control system     

           

                                                                                                                                                                                                           

To fly the Explorer EDFyou will need a radio 

control system with at least four channels. 2.4GHz 

radios systems are recommended, similar to the 

unit included with our deluxe version.     

                                                                                                                                         

 

The power for the receiver is drawn from the 

electronic speed controller’s integral BEC system. 

 

The electronic speed controller is located inside of 

the fuselage, in front of the ducted fan. 

 

When you wish to fly the model, always make sure 

the transmitter is in the “OFF” position. Move the 

throttle stick to the “OFF” position as well. Then 

connect the flight battery to the electronic speed 

controller. 

 

Switch off in the reverse order: disconnect the 

battery from the electronic speed controller first, 

and then switch off the transmitter. 

 
Glued joints, suitable adhesives 

     

Foam safe epoxy is recommended and available 

from most reputable model retail shops. 

 

Trial-fit all parts “dry” before applying glue. 

 

Follow the recommended curing time suggested 

by the glue manufacturer. Allow the glue to fully 

cure (harden) to the point where the joint can be 

placed under stress.
