Reversing Flight Controls
Should the Ember 2’s electronic components be used in another aircraft,
you may find it necessary to reverse the operation of flight control sur-
faces. Reversing the rudder and aileron operation can be accomplished
by following the steps below:
1. Be certain that the battery is unplugged from the aircraft and the
transmitter is turned off.
2. Push down on the digital trim button for the surface you would like
to reverse.
a. Top elevator trim button – elevator normal
b. Bottom elevator trim button – elevator reverse
c. Left rudder trim button – rudder normal
d. Right rudder trim button – rudder reverse
3. Continue holding the desired digital trim button down and turn the
transmitter on.
4. Hold the digital trim buttons down for approximately five seconds
until tones are heard, confirming the selection.
5. Connect the flight battery and complete the flight control test,
confirming that all surfaces are operating in the correct direction.
Center of Gravity Location
It is very important to confirm the ParkZone Ember 2 is properly bal-
anced prior to flying. The Ember 2 should balance at 37mm (+/- 2mm)
behind the leading edge of the wing with the battery tray centered.
Replacing the Prop Shaft
You may find that you need to replace the prop shaft in the gearbox
should it become damaged. To replace the prop shaft:
1. Gently grasp the white nylon nut located at the back of the prop
shaft to prevent it from turning.
2. While holding the nylon nut, rotate the spur gear in a clockwise
direction. The prop shaft will thread out of the nut.
3. Gently pull on the spur gear and prop shaft will slide out of the
gear box.
4. Thread the prop and spinner on to the new prop shaft by holding
the spur gear and turning the prop in a clockwise direction.
