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 all surfaces are operating in
the correct direction.
Control Centering
In the event of an accident or before your first flights, check to make sure the flight control surfaces are
centered. It is much better to do this mechanically due to the mechanical limits of linear servos.
1. Make sure the transmitter trims are centered, and if your transmitter has them, sub-trims are set to 0.
2. Check to see if any of the flight control surfaces are not centered.
3. If the surface is not centered, use a pair of pliers and carefully lengthen or shorten the pushrod by
bending the U-shape in the pushrod.
Dual Rate Function (RTF Only) and CG
The 4-channel 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter included with the Night Vapor features dual rate capability. The
default setting is high rate. To access the low-rate function, press IN on the right gimbal. The LED light on
the transmitter will blink, alerting you the transmitter is on low rate. To return to high rate, push IN again on
the right stick.
Note: ParkZone STRONGLY recommends using the LOW-RATE setting for conducting the first
flight of your Night Vapor.
Center of Gravity
The Night Vapor’s front wing mount should be positioned at approximately 28–30mm behind the front of the
fuselage for the initial flights, with the front battery tray positioned at approximately 10–12mm behind the
front wing mount. The Night Vapor will fly at a wide range of CG positions, allowing you to alter the flying
characteristics of the aircraft. You may also experiment and add a little “trim” to the elevator to bring the
nose up slightly in flight. This allows the airplane to fly even slower.
Receiver Control Unit Description, Arming and Motor Control Test
The receiver installed on your Night Vapor is a lightweight combination of main motor electronic speed
control, servos and Spektrum DSM2-compatible receiver. The receiver unit is also equipped with a status
indicator LED.
Before each flight ALWAYS turn the transmitter on before connecting the flight battery to the receiver unit.
Never connect the flight battery to the receiver unit before powering the transmitter on. After each flight,
always disconnect the flight battery from the receiver unit before powering the transmitter off.
Note:
The only time you should connect the flight battery to the receiver unit before powering on
the transmitter is when binding the receiver to the transmitter. Please see the Transmitter and
Receiver Binding section of this manual for more information.
