Fig. 3
Connect the servos, the speed controller and the Y-lead to
the receiver. Read the instructions supplied with the RC
system to ensure that you connect the servos to the correct
receiver sockets.
Install the receiver in the fuselage, running the aerial
towards the tail.
Fig. 4
Deploy the aerial along the fuselage and tape it to the tail
end.

Fig. 7, inserting the dry / rechargeable cells in the trans-
mitter
Open the battery compartment by pressing lightly on the
cover and sliding it down and off.
Fit the dry or rechargeable cells, taking care to maintain cor-
rect polarity.
Close the battery compartment again.
Assembly and operating instructions
ASW 15 ARF, ASW 15 RTF
Switch the transmitter on. If the needle of the operating dis-
play is in the silver area, the transmitter is ready for use.
Needle in red area: cease operations, fit new dry cells or
recharge the NC cells.
Note regarding dry cells: do not attempt to recharge dry
cells, do not open them, do not dispose of them by thro-
wing them into a fire. Remove exhausted cells from the
transmitter, as escaping electrolyte would ruin the transmit-
ter. Dispose of old batteries by taking them to your local
battery collection point.
Fig. 8, charging the transmitter battery
Caution: always connect the charge lead to the charger fist,
before plugging it into the transmitter.
Figs. 9 and 10, changing the crystals
The transmitter and receiver can be operated on different
spot frequencies within the frequency band. This is accom-
plished by fitting different pairs of crystals - see crystal
table. To avoid "channel clashes" (crashes caused by two
transmitters on the same frequency), the crystals in the
transmitter and receiver may have to be changed. The fre-
quency channel of the transmitter and receiver must be
identical. Transmitter crystals are printed with the letters FM
Tx + frequency and channel number; receiver crystals with
FM Rx + frequency and channel number. Use genuine
robbe crystals exclusively; see the main robbe catalogue
for Order Nos.
Withdraw the crystal holder from the transmitter, remove the
crystal "F" and fit the new one.
Withdraw the receiver from the fuselage, taking care not to
damage the flexible wire aerial. Remove the crystal "Q" and
fit the new one.
Place the receiver in the fuselage again.
Crystals are not polarised; they can be fitted either way
round.
Figs. 11 and 12, charging the flight battery
Connect the charger to the mains PSU or a 12 V power
source; the LED will now flash (glow) red. A change of
colour to green indicates that charging can commence.
Connect the flight battery. The LED changes to red to indi-
cate that charging is in progress.
Towards the end of the charge period the LED alternates
4
between red and green.
When the LED changes back to green, the charge process
is complete.
When the charge period is over, disconnect the battery from
the charger, and unplug the charger from the mains socket.
Safety notes:
Do not place the charger and the battery on an inflammable
surface when they are operating, and never leave a battery
on charge unsupervised. Protect the unit from damp.
Do not subject the battery or charger to direct sunshine, and
do not cover the charger.
Do not charge batteries which are hot to the touch; allow
the pack to cool down to ambient temperature first.
The charger supplied should only be used to recharge the
battery included in the model set.
Fig. 13, pushrod connectors
Mount the swivel pushrod connectors on the control surfa-
ce horns, noting the correct positions: inner hole on the rud-
der horn, outer hole on the elevator horn.
Figs. 14 and 15, tail panels
Place the fin on the tailplane.
Fig. 16, installing the tail panels
Place the tail assembly on the fuselage, slipping the pus-
hrods through the swivel pushrod connectors at the same
time.
Fit the M4 x 30 plastic screw and tighten it gently to secure
the tail assembly. Don't over-tighten it!
Fig. 17, the control surfaces
Check from the transmitter that the servos are at centre.
Set the rudder and elevators to centre, then tighten the scr-
ews in the swivel pushrod connectors.
Figs. 18 and 19
Fit the wing panels together as shown.
Note: the canopy features a magnetic closure, and can be
removed simply by lifting it off.
Place the prepared wing on the fuselage, running the aileron
servo leads forward into the radio bay.
Fix the wing to the fuselage using the M4 x 30 plastic screw.
