2. Bezpečnostní informace

Operating a remote control aircraft requires caution and adherence to safety guidelines. Failure to do so may result in injury or property damage.

  • Always operate your RC plane in open areas, away from people, buildings, and other obstacles.
  • Před každým letem se ujistěte, že jsou všechny baterie plně nabité a správně nainstalované.
  • Perform pre-flight checks on all control surfaces and radio connections.
  • Never fly near airports or restricted airspace.
  • Vyhněte se létání za silného větru nebo nepříznivých povětrnostních podmínek.
  • Keep hands and loose clothing away from the propeller when the motor is active.
  • Adult supervision is recommended for operators under 14 years of age.

4. Nastavení a montáž

Follow these steps for quick and glue-free assembly:

4.1 Landing Gear Installation

With the fuselage inverted, insert the landing gear into the designated slots. Secure the landing gear using the included screws and plastic retainers. Attach the springs to the landing gear assembly for proper suspension.

4.3 Horizontal Stabilizer Installation

Insert the horizontal stabilizer spat into the pass-through on the fuselage. Insert both halves of the horizontal stabilizer onto the spat. Use the included bolts to secure the horizontal stabilizer.

4.4 Control Surface Connections

With the elevator servo centered, connect the pushrod to the control horn on the elevator. Repeat for other control surfaces (ailerons, rudder) as necessary. The ball-link pushrods ensure increased precision.

4.5 Instalace vrtule

Install the propeller and spinner in the order shown in the diagram (refer to the physical manual for detailed diagram). Ensure it is securely fastened.

4.6 Instalace baterie

The aircraft features an oversized battery compartment. Insert your recommended 14.8V 2200-2600mAh 35C LiPo battery (not included) into the compartment and secure it with the provided strap (if any) to prevent shifting during flight.

5. Návod k obsluze

5.1 Předletové kontroly

  • Verify all control surfaces move freely and correctly in response to transmitter inputs.
  • Check battery charge level on both the aircraft and transmitter.
  • Ujistěte se, že je vrtule bezpečně upevněna a není poškozená.
  • Confirm the Reflex V2 system is correctly configured for your desired flight mode.

5.2 Vzlet

The 1700mm PA-18 Super Cub is known for its Short Takeoff and Landing (STOL) capability, achieving takeoff heights of less than 3 meters/10 feet. Position the aircraft into the wind, gradually increase throttle, and apply slight elevator input as speed builds to lift off.

5.3 Let

The aircraft offers excellent flight characteristics. Use gentle control inputs for smooth flight. For advanced maneuvers, ensure you are in the appropriate Reflex V2 mode.

5.4 Přistání

Approach the landing area into the wind. Reduce throttle and maintain a controlled descent. Apply slight elevator input just before touchdown for a smooth landing. The CNC metal landing gear and oversized tires are designed for perfect landings on various terrains.

6. Reflex V2 Flight Controller System

The Reflex V2 is a user-upgradeable flight controller compatible with most FMS aircraft. It can be reprogrammed easily with different model files via a simple software interface. It offers three flight modes:

  • Stabilizovaný režim: Designed for beginners. Reflex will rapidly level the aircraft from any attitude when this mode is activated. It combines accelerometer and gyro data to determine how to level the aircraft when the control sticks are released, providing peace of mind. The aircraft will maintain level flight with 50-60% throttle and climb under full throttle.
  • Optimalizovaný režim: Utilizing advanced solid-state gyros, the Reflex system maintains aircraft attitude by counteracting inflight upsets, such as gusts or crosswinds. With Reflex, even small aircraft will fly with confidence, similar to much larger models.
  • Režim vypnutí: This turns off all gyro functionality. The aircraft is flown completely manually.

These modes are controlled with a two or three-position switch on your transmitter. When assigned to a two-position switch, the Reflex system changes between stabilized and optimized modes.

7. Údržba

  • Regularly inspect all components for damage, especially after hard landings.
  • Check propeller for cracks or chips and replace if damaged.
  • Ensure all screws and connections are tight.
  • Keep the aircraft clean and free from dirt and debris.
  • Letadlo skladujte na chladném a suchém místě mimo dosah přímého slunečního záření.
