- Page 1 ZupAir ZULU OWNER’S MANUAL...
- Page 2 The wings can easily detach after flying, making this 1.5 Meter (59 inch) model easy to transport. If you don’t have your Zulu flying already, final assembly is a breeze, thanks to the molded airframe and pre-assembled components.
- Page 3 The Carbon spars have already been installed and glued in place. Controls The Zulu uses four control surfaces that are driven by only two servos. The aft surfaces are elevons (elevator and aileron), and the forward surfaces are drooperons (leading-edge droop and aileron).
- Page 4 Assembly 1. Sand the join area to remove mold release agent, then bond the fin to the fuselage with Foam Tac or other foam glue. 2. The servo pockets were sized for ES09MD servos, and measure 23 x 12 x 24.5mm.
- Page 5 bend up trim away EPO foam if needed 5. Bend the wire on the pushrods to give clearance between the clevises and EPO. Remove EPO with a hobby knife if there are clearance issues. Bending the wire for the drooperons is worthwhile even if there are no clearance issues, as the bend provides some protection for the servo from drooperon impacts.
- Page 6 Once you are satisfied with your control setup, bond the servos in place. Using the black decals and tape, secure the servo-wire in the slot. 10. Using a hobby knife or sand paper, file down the ends of the carbon joiners to make for an easier fit.
- Page 7 Trimming With the controls set to neutral, and rates set low, give the Zulu a toss on a lawn. After trimming pitch and roll with your transmitter, adjust the drooperons back to neutral (aligned with the fixed wing-tip) by twisting the clevises or bending the pushrods.
- Page 8 Deep Stall The Zulu needs around 20° (just past stall) of upward deflection to enter the deep-stall mode (very nice for top-landings). Higher descent rates can be reached with more deflection.
- Page 9 3. Gently pull back on the stick as you would to make a loop, but stop pulling back just after the Zulu is traveling vertically. 4. Wait for the Zulu to enter a tail-slide, then quickly pull the stick back all the way.
