Stay away from busy roads. Flying in these areas can distract drivers and lead to an accident.
Don’t fly within a 6 kilometre radius of any airport or where full sized aircraft are flying.
CENTER OF GRAVITY PLACEMENT
All of the parts are located in set positions for the C.G. to be correct.
SETTING UP THE TRANSMITTER
The Transmitter, requires eight AA dry cells to be fitted into the compartment on the back of the transmitter, under the
removable cover, being careful to observe correct polarity for each cell.
ONLY use good quality ALKALINE batteries. Typically these batteries will last 8 hours of use. However when the “low
battery” alarm sounds, replace them immediately.
Rechargeable NICAD or NIMH cells may be substituted for the alkaline batteries
Depending on the mode of the transmitter which came with your kit ( standard is Mode 1 ) you should be aware of the
differences between mode 1 and mode 2, which are:
Mode 1
–
The left stick - 2, moved forward and back, gives down and up
elevator, forward for dive and back for climb; moved left and right – 4
it gives left and right rudder.
The right stick - 3, moved forward and back gives high and low
throttle; 1 - moved left and right it controls the ailerons, giving left and
right bank.
Mode 2
– NOT STANDARD
The left stick, moved forward and back, gives high and low throttle,
and moved left and right gives left and right rudder.
The right stick , moved forward and back, gives down and up elevator - forward for dive and back for climb; moved left
and right it controls the ailerons, giving left and right bank.
Inboard and below the sticks there are four sliders - these are the trims which are used to adjust three of the four
functions (aileron, elevator and rudder) to the neutral position and the throttle to the full idle position; in flight they are
used to trim the model. On the ground the surfaces are adjusted by means of the adjustable clevises on the control rods
fitted to the control surfaces.
At the bottom right-hand corner of the transmitter there is a panel of switches.
The one marked “D/R” is the dual rate switch; in the upper position, the ailerons, elevator and rudder are moved over a
greater range than when the switch is in the lower position.
The “A-Nor - MIX 1-2” switch is for use with a flying wing design where
aileron and elevator are mixed – leave it in the lower position.
The remaining four switches marked “AIL, ELE, THR and RUD” are the
reversal switches to reverse the controls should it be necessary.
Low battery warning light and buzzer. When the battery is lower than
8.8V, the power light will blink once every second, at the same time you
will here a buzzing sound. When the battery voltage drops below 8.3 V,
the power light will blink once every half a second and the buzzer will
sound continuously.
RECEIVER INSTRUCTIONS
The FRP06 /4 receiver is a mini receiver. Each channel is marked
with a number (1 to 6). Also polarity for the servos / ESC wires are
shown on the receiver case. The minus sign (-) is used to show the
black (sometimes brown) wire to. The plus sign(+) shows the
connection for the red wire and the “^” sign is used for the orange
