User manual SANWA AVENGER 2X

[. . . ] Be certain to read all of the material in this manual, as well as the Operation and Installation insert. SECTION III SECTION IV SECTION I SAFETY FIRST FOR YOURSELF, FOR OTHERS AND FOR YOUR EQUIPMENT. "Safety First" is more than just a slogan when operating radio control models. Thus, we urge, especially with respect to radio controlled aircraft that: SECTION V NOTE: FOR BATTERY CHARGING INFORMATION AND INSTRUCTIONS ON LEARING TO USE YOUR AIRTRONICS RADIO SYSTEM, PLEASE SEE THE AIRTRONICS RADIO OPERATION AND INSTALLATION INSERT. FOR YOUR SAFETY: Recognize that radio controlled models are not harmless toys and can be dangerous missiles if carelessly or improperly flown. You are responsible because the reliability and safe operation of the radio equipment is largely dependent upon its proper installation and utilization. [. . . ] I will operate my model using only radio control frequencies currently allowed by the FCC. (Only properly licensed amateurs are authorized to operate equipment on amateur band frequencies. ) NOTE: These basic safety precautions are for your safety, the safety of others, and of your equipment. Consider carefully all of what has been stated and obey all precautions as well as those appropriate to your particular use. Good common sense must also be used at all times in the operation of your equipment. STICK CONTROLS High Throttle Down Elevator Left Rudder Mode 2 Right Aileron Low Throttle Up Elevator Down Elevator High Throttle The Academy of Model Aeronautics is the leading national organization made up of aircraft modeling people with headquarters in Muncie Indiana. We urge you to examine the benefits of the membership including liability protection in the event of certain injuries. The Academy has adopted simple and sane rules, a few which are pertinent for radio controlled flight as the OFFICAL AMA SAFETY CODE; abide by these rules for your protection, the protection of others and equipment. I will not fly my model aircraft in competition or in the presence of spectators until it has been proven to be airworthy by having been previously successfully flight-tested. I will not fly my model higher than approximately 400 feet within 3 miles of an airport without notifying the airport operator. I will give right of way to and avoid flying in the proximity of fullscale aircraft. When necessary, an observer shall be utilized to supervise flying to avoid having models fly in the proximity of full-scale aircraft. Left Rudder Mode 1 Right Aileron Up Elevator Low Throttle Fig 3 SECTION II FEDERAL LICENSING REQUIREMENTS AND SPECIAL OPERATING STANDARDS FOR MODEL AIRPLANES The Federal Communications Commission no longer requires a license to operate an R/C model transmitter. REMEMBER THAT IF A TRANSMITTERS PERFORMANCE HAS DROPPED IT MAY FAIL TO SEND THE SIGNALS NECESSARY TO ADQUATELY AND SAFELY CONTROL THE MODEL RESULTING IN A POSSIBE CRASH. TAKE THE TIME TO LEARN THE NAMES OF ALL COMPONENTS YOU ARE GOING TO CONNECT AND TO IDENTIFY ALL OF THE TRANSMITTER Do not attempt to force the servo plugs into the receiver; properly align each plug and it will move into place. The same is true of the plug leading from the receiver battery pack and switch harness. 5 1. 2. 3. 4. Once you have followed the diagrams for connecting the airborne components of your VG400/AVENGER 2X FM radio control system and you have studied and understood the diagram illustrating the transmitter control stick functions, you are ready to energize the system and study its actual operation. There maybe some initial movement in the servos even though you have not moved the transmitter sticks. Now follow the diagram indicating the transmitter's control functions by moving each stick and watching the reaction of the servo or servos. Keep these all centered through the installation of your system in your model. They will be used in actual flight or operation of the model to adjust servo position slightly. . . a process called "trimming". If the airborne system fails to operate, charge the battery pack as outlined in the Battery Charging Section of Installation and Guidelines. GET USED TO THIS SEQUENCE: When turning the system off, TURN THE RECEIVER OFF FIRST, THEN THE TRANSMITTER. When turning the system on, the proper sequence is to TURN ON THE TRANSMITTER THEN THE RECEIVER. It should be re -emphasized that before you make initial use of your completed model, you should have one or more persons who are thoroughly experienced in the field of radio controlled modeling completely go over the mo del prior to your use to make certain you have properly installed your VG400/AVENGER 2X system and followed all of the directions given in this manual as well as the Instruction Manual. We recommend that the individual(s) who are "checking out" your model be shown these two manuals and that you and they review all of the materials contained in them to make certain that you have followed all directions and guidelines and understand the warnings that have been given. [. . . ] We present here general instructions concerning the process of learning to use your VG400/AVENGER 2X System. Most of what is stated is directed toward those using the system in a powered model aircraft. However it is equally applicable to sailplanes. 6 NOTE: Turning all adjusters clockwise will give 100% maximum servo movement. PLUG-IN CRYSTALS: Your VG400/AVENGER 2X FM transmitter and receiver feature plug-in crystals for ease of manufacture. [. . . ]
