Combat Setup - GREAT PLANES Zero Instruction Manual

2. Connect the ESC motor leads to the banana plugs on
the motor. Secure the ESC to the fuse with double-sided
tape as far forward as the wires will allow. Use a piece of
clear tape (not included) to hold the excess motor lead wires
against the fuse. Use alcohol to dull the painted surfaces
where the tape will be applied.
❏
3. In order to balance the FlatOuts Zero ARF without the
addition of weight, the battery pack must be secured above the
motor. Use the included hook and loop material to do so with
the "loop" side on the battery. Applying the "loop" side of the
hook and loop material to the front side of the battery will allow
the battery discharge leads to reach the ESC battery
connectors. The discharge leads will pass through the hole in
the fuse to connect to the ESC.

4. Loop the prop saver O-ring around one of the screws
and over the prop hub. Hook the O-ring onto the other screw
to secure the propeller to the prop saver. Long nose pliers may
make it easier to stretch the O-ring onto the screws.
❏
5. Attach the prop saver by tightening the two screws
against the flat spots on the prop shaft.
❏
6. The receiver antenna can be taped to the side of the fuse.
However, be sure not to let excess wire hang free of this
airplane if you plan to fly combat. Use alcohol to dull the
painted surfaces where the tape will be applied. Wrap the
excess wire through the elevator joiner tube cutout and tape it
to the other side of the fuse. For a cleaner look, you can also
cut a slit in the fuse and embed the antenna out of sight.

Combat Setup

The Great Planes FlatOuts Zero ARF was designed with the
intention that two or more of these models can be flown
together in classic dogfight style. Paper streamers are
included with the model to be taped to the rear of the fuse.
Rubber bands are also included to attach the streamer. To
use the rubber band, drill a small hole in the tail of the plane
and loop a rubber band through the hole and around the
streamer. During combat, use the propeller on your fighter to
cut the streamer on the enemy.

1. Damage to your plane is inevitable during this kind of
combat. However, the simplicity of this model allows it to be
repaired quickly at the flying site. Be sure to put some thick
foam-safe CA glue and CA activator in your field box, and
you will be able to be back in flight in a matter of minutes
should repair be necessary.
