Dear Customer,
Congratulations on your choice of a factory-assembled
model aircraft from the robbe Modellsport range. Many
thanks for placing your trust in us.
The model can very quickly be completed ready to fly.
Please read right through these instructions and the sepa-
rate information sheets before attempting to assemble and
fly the model, as this will make it much easier to complete
the tasks required.
Notes on the power system
A brushless in-runner motor and impeller (ducted fan) are
already installed in the fuselage.
The motor is connected to the speed controller, ready to
use, and the controller is correctly set up for you.
To complete the power system all you have to do is attach
the appropriate connectors to your chosen flight battery,
and connect it to the speed controller.
All directions, such as "right-hand", are as seen from the
tail of the model, looking forward.
Notes on the radio control system
For this model you require a radio control system with at
least four channels. We particularly recommend 2.4 GHz
systems.
One aileron servo and two elevator servos are already
installed; the elevator servos are inter-connected using a Y-
lead.
Assembly and operating instructions
