Note: To make trim adjustments to the elevator or
rudder:
a. Turn on the transmitter.
b. Plug the fully charged 11.1V 1300mAh battery into
the ESC.
c. Use the elevator or rudder trim of the transmitter
by moving the trim up or down to set the tail at
neutral when the gimbal is also at neutral. If these
changes are not sufficient, center the transmitter
elevator or rudder trims. Loosen the spool from the
control horn and move the control surface back to
neutral. Re-tighten the spool.
Warning: Always keep hands and all objects
away from the propeller in case the motor is
engaged. A moving propeller can cause severe
injury and damage.
Attaching the Horizontal Stabilizer
1. Locate the horizontal stabilizer.
2. Slide the horizontal stabilizer through the slot
between the fuselage and the rudder. Make
sure the control horn installed in the elevator will
properly align with the pushrod exiting the left side
of the fuselage.
3. When you are certain the tail is centered correctly,
use the tape provided to properly secure the
horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage as shown. Use
the tape on the top and bottom of each side of the
tail (total of 4 applications).
4. Turn on the transmitter, confirming the throttle stick
is in the full down/idle position.
5. Remove the canopy from the fuselage (attached
with magnets). Plug the blue EC3 connector
installed on the battery into the EC3 device
connector installed on the speed control.
6. Install the pushrod through the hole in the keeper.
Move the elevator to the neutral position and
tighten the keeper. The pushrod keeper comes
pre-installed in the outermost hole of the control
horn. It is recommended to fly the Radian with the
pushrods installed in the default positions until you
become more comfortable with the controls.
ESC Instructions for EFLA1030
The E-flite 30A Pro Brushless ESC is a lightweight,
high-quality, efficient sensorless brushless electronic
speed control with an integrated switch-mode BEC. It
can oper ate without the need for a separate receiver
battery to power your servos and receivers, saving
you weight and complication. It is capable of up to 30
amps continuous current when using 3- to 4-series
LiPo battery packs. You can drive up to 5 analog or
4 digital sub-micro-sized servos with the BEC on any
recommended input voltage. This ESC also features
safe power arming along with advanced programmable
features such as low voltage cutoff, braking, timing,
throttle input range, and more, making this truly a ‘pro
series’ speed control. The ESC installed in the Radian
has been preprogrammed for 3S low voltage cut-off.
For detailed programming instructions, please refer to
the E-flite 30A ESC instruction sheet included with the
Radian.
Note: ALWAYS assume the motor and the propeller
are live. ALWAYS keep clear of the propeller at all
times. The high rpm of the brushless motor can
cause severe injury.
Note: For E-flite 30A Pro Brushless speed controls
included in ParkZone Ready-to-Fly and
Plug-N-Play aircraft, the low voltage cut-off has been
preprogrammed for 3-cell LiPo batteries. The brake
feature found in the ESC has also been activated for
use in sailplane applications.

Step 5
Connecting the Rudder Pushrod
1. Loosen the pushrod keeper installed on the rudder
control horn. The pushrod keeper comes pre-
installed one hole in from the outermost of the
control horn.
2. Insert the rudder pushrod through the hole in the
keeper. Move the rudder to the neutral position
and tighten the keeper.
At this time, your Radian PNP is now complete.
Once pre-flight control and range checks have been
completed, the Radian is ready to fly.
