Page 8: Transmitter Functionality
Transmitter Functionality 1. Digital trims: Your Alara 4-channel transmitter has digital trims on all four primary controls – aileron; elevator; rudder; throttle. Each movement of the trim button is audibly highlighted by a single beep, whilst trim center is highlighted by two beeps. -
Page 9: Charging The Supplied Lipo Battery
The red ‘Charger’ LED will light indicating that the battery is charging. When fully charged the red LED will stop glowing, whereupon the battery can be disconnected. NOTE: It will take approximately 1 to 1.5 hours to fully charge a mostly discharged 1500mAh Alara flight battery. -
Page 10: Final Assembly
Airframe Assembly 1. Slot the fin and stabilizer together. 2. Position the fin and stabilizer assembly in its molded recess at the tail end of the fuselage. 3. Insert the two M3 x 40mm machine screws from the underside and tighten until the tail assembly is securely fixed. - Page 11 5. Offer the right-hand wing panel to the fuselage, plug the aileron servo lead into its female fuselage socket and ensure the lead-lock catch is engaged. Push the wing panel home. 6. Slide the left-hand wing panel onto the carbon spar. Connect the servo lead as before and push the panel firmly home.
- Page 12 9. Remove the transmitter battery cover and insert four AA alkaline cells taking care to observe the correct polarity. 10. Switch ON your transmitter and ensure the LED is lit solid red. Keep the throttle stick at its low position. IMPORTANT: Do not adjust the digital trims while switching on the transmitter as these are used in the servo reversing procedure (see Transmitter Functionality).
- Page 13 13. Now connect the aileron clevises to the outer hole of each control horn and note, again, that you may have to screw the clevis in or out to ensure that the control surface remains in the neutral position. 14. Ensure that the control surfaces operate in the right direction. With the model in front of you, facing away, move the rudder stick to the left and check that the rudder moves left in response.
- Page 14 19. Check that your Alara sits level when balanced on either side of the fuselage at a point 65 – 70mm back from the leading edge. Adjust the position of the battery to ensure that the balance point is achieved.

Page 15: Flying Your Alara
Alara you will easily be able to fly in less favorable conditions. If you’re new to model flying we strongly recommend that the services of an experienced model pilot be employed to assist with your first flight. -
Page 16: Transmitter Pairing
Transmitter Pairing In the unlikely event that your Alara’s radio does not operate straight out of the box (i.e. the transmitter is not paired with the receiver), use this guide to rectify the problem. Once a receiver has been paired to the transmitter, it should not be necessary to complete this procedure again as the ID code is stored in the receiver. -
