Installing a Receiver
1. Install your parkflyer or full range receiver in the fuselage
using hook and loop tape or double-sided servo tape.
2. Attach the elevator and rudder servo connectors to the
appropriate channels of the receiver.
3. Attach the aileron Y-harness to the aileron channel of
the receiver.
4. Attach the ESC connector to the throttle channel of the
receiver.
Battery Selection and Installation
We recommend the ParkZone 2200mAh 11.1V 25C
•
Li-Po battery (PKZ1029).
If using another battery, the battery must be at least a
•
25C 2200mAh battery.
Your battery should be approximately the same
•
capacity, dimensions and weight as the ParkZone
Li-Po battery to fit in the fuselage without changing
the center of gravity a large amount.

Range Check and Pre-Flying Tips
Range Check your Radio System
After final assembly, range check the radio system with the Extra
300. Refer to your specific transmitter instruction manual for
range test information.
Before Each Flying Session
• Always make sure your Extra 300 is properly trimmed prior to
each flight
• Always make sure the receiver, ESC, and battery are secured
in the fuselage.
• Turn on the transmitter before plugging in the flight battery.
With the aircraft on the ground and motor running, you should
walk away approximately 100 feet and still have full control of
all functions while following the specific range test feature of
your DSM2 transmitter. If this is not the case, do not fly. Contact
the appropriate Horizon Product Support office. See page 20.
• Always make sure that all controls are functioning per the
transmitter input you are giving. This includes ailerons, rudder,
elevator and throttle.
• Always make sure you have fully charged the transmitter
batteries or make sure your transmitter has fresh batteries
before you fly.
• Always make sure the servo reversing switches on the
transmitter are set correctly.
• Always make sure the dual rates switch is at the rate setting
where you plan to fly. We recommend LOW rates for your initial
flying. The Extra 300 is VERY maneuverable on high rates and
requires a lot of experience to handle properly.
CAUTION: Always remove the flight battery from the
aircraft when you are done flying, or when you are on the
way to the flying field.
