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.
Very little work is required to prepare the model ready for
flying. You can make it as easy as possible to operate your
new aeroplane safely by taking the trouble to read right
through these instructions attentively, together with the
separate information sheets, before you fly it for the first
time.
The model is available in two different colour schemes. The
decals are already applied. In terms of technical features the
two models are identical.
These instructions apply to both versions; the illustrations
show the single-colour model.
All directions, such as "right-hand", are as seen from the
tail of the model, looking forward.
The power system
The model is powered by a brushless outrunner motor and
ducted fan, both of which are factory-installed.
The motor is connected to the speed controller, ready to
run, and the controller is factory-adjusted.
All you have to do is connect the LiPo flight battery to the
speed controller.

Assembly and operating instructions
AMX - Jet
The radio control system
To fly the AMX - Jet you need a radio control system with at
least four channels. We particularly recommend .4 GHz
systems.
The servos for the ailerons and the elevators are factory-
installed; the elevator servos and aileron servos are wired in
parallel using Y-leads.
The power supply for the receiving system is drawn from
the speed controller's integral BEC system.
The speed controller is located under the black plastic
hatch on the underside of the fuselage.
To check the model's working systems, first set the control
surface servos to neutral from the transmitter, after check-
ing that the transmitter sticks and trims are at centre.
When you wish to fly the model, always move the throttle
stick to the "Motor OFF" position before switching the
transmitter on, and only then connect the flight battery to
the speed controller.
Switch off in the reverse order: disconnect the battery from
the speed controller first, and only then switch the transmit-
ter off.
Gluing techniques, adhesives
Check the fit of parts "dry" before reaching for the glue bot-
tle.
Epoxy adhesive should be used for almost all joints:
robbe ropoxy
UHU por (for plastic hatch cover)
