  • Page 5: The Airplane Modules

    SNAP&FLY -- Modularized RC Airplanes The Base Module has a fuselage portion that houses the flight components: propeller, motor, receiver, actuators and push/pull rods. The magnetic connectors will connect the Base Module to an airplane module, and the magnetic connectors will ensure the control linkage connection between the Base Module and the airplane module.

The magnetic connectors are designed to maintain the airplane integrity under normal flight conditions yet permit inter-modular disconnection under high impact events, such as a crash, to prevent the airplane from becoming damaged.

    SNAP&FLY -- Modularized RC Airplanes Step 3. Turn on the transmitter – the transmitter LED (red) will flash for 4 seconds, the receiver will play music for 3 seconds, and both the transmitter and the receiver LEDs will become continuously lit. The frequency locking is then established. To prevent interference if the selected frequency is already occupied then the frequency- lock will not happen.

  • Page 14: Maintenance

    SNAP&FLY -- Modularized RC Airplanes Normal turn maneuver -- Initiate the turn by a moderate banking control input to induce the airplane banking, followed by a moderate up-elevator input to maintain the altitude while banking. A banking-alone turn will cause the airplane to lose altitude. The proper amount of elevator input for a turn depends on many factors, such as the airplane speed, the throttle and the degree of banking.
