ZAGI 400 X ELECTRIC, Инструкция по сборке

Страница: 3 / 22

Recommendations and Notes
To avoid injury or damage to electronic speed control, Do not plug the battery into the speed control
until all of the steps have been followed on page 15.
The ZAGI-400 X is not a combat or bungie launch airplane. The design objectives were to make a rugged low
cost, light weight, aerobatic electric flying wing.
Read the entire manual before beginning construction!
The target weight for the Zagi-400 X is 24.6 oz. The airplane is designed to balance at 8” measured
back from the nose. In order to achieve these two objectives, a speed 400 motor, micro servos, and a
1700 mAh 8 cell battery pack must be used. Any modifications, reinforcements or substitutions not
described in this manual must be considered carefully to maintain the correct weight and balance. If
all of the procedures in this manual are followed, the Zagi-400 X will not need nose weight.
A separate battery is not required for the receiver and servos. They are powered by the 8 cell (9.6 V) battery
through the ESC which contains the Battery Elimination Circuit (BEC). When the motor drains the battery there
is still sufficient power to control the plane.
3M Super 77 Spray Adhesive is the recommended adhesive to prime the foam before you begin covering.
If a substitute adhesive is selected, test spray a piece of scrap foam before spraying the cores.
Trick R/C did not test any covering materials such as UltraCote, MonoKote, Solarfilm, or any other iron-on
materials. If an alternate covering material is chosen, test a patch on the beds first. Lower heat would be
necessary on the 1# white foam (the foam behind the EPP leading.)
Do not cut into any part of the leading edge foam for the radio installation or nose weight.
Do not use polyester resin, solvents, solvent-based paint, Shoe Goo or Goop on either type of foam.
