  • Page 8 RECEIVER INSTALLATION/SERVO CONNECTIONS (CONTINUED) Spektrum Remote Receivers Please note, for optimum connection reliability and performance using Spektrum, the Flex Team highly recommends the use of a traditional receiver using SRXL. Remote receivers may still be used, however: Connect (2) Spektrum Remote Receivers to Mini Port 'A' and Mini Port 'B' at the top of the Aura case.

  • Page 9: Reciever Insatllation/Aura Setup Note

    RECEIVER INSTALLATION / AURA 8 INSTALLATION NOTE Throughout the manual we will ask you to power up the radio system. In order to assemble your FlexJet properly, It is critical that the receiver is bound to your transmitter and is communicating with Aura 8. Please do not proceed until the Aura 8 emits a solid green LED (Aura received valid signal from reciever) and solid orange LED (Aura has power and calibrated sensor) when powered up.

  • Page 10: Retracts/Gear Sequencer Operation

    RETRACTS AND GEAR SEQUENCER OPERATION The following steps will be required each time the aircraft is powered for flight: Ensure your radio has Ch5/gear assigned to a 2-position switch. Hold the FlexJet in a manner that the gear doors and retracts are unobstructed and free to close and open.

  • Page 11: Flying Stabilizer Installation

    FLYING STABILIZER INSTALLATION #1 Phillips Screwdriver, 2mm Hex Driver Required Tools and Fasteners: Blue Thread Locker, Low-Tack Masking Tape (2) M3x10mm Phillips Machine Thread Screw (pre-installed) (2) M2 x 6mm Cap Head Self-Tapping Screws To reduce the assembly time of your FlexJet, the stabilizer tubes have been installed at the factory. Confirm that (1) M3x10mm Phillips head machine screw is securely fastened to each stabilizer tube.
  • Page 12 FLYING STABILIZER INSTALLATION (Continued) Verify the transmitter elevator stick is set to neutral and trim is centered. Test fit the stab linkage arm onto the spline of the stab tube. The linkage arm should be parallel relative to the servo arm and pointing towards the bottom of the fuselage. Check the leading edge of the stabilizer relative to the elevator trim gauge.

  • Page 13: Wing Installation

    Wing Installation #1 Phillips Screwdriver Required Tools and Fasteners: Blue Thread Locker (2) M3x10 Phillips Head Self-Tapping Screws Locate the four carbon fiber wing tubes. Insert a short tube into each wing panel near the leading edge and a long tube into each wing panel near the trailing edge of the wing.

  • Page 14: Battery Installation

    BATTERY INSTALLATION (1) Hook Side Adhesive Backed Hook and Loop Strip Required Tools and Fasteners: (1) Hook and Loop Strap Remove the canopy from the fuselage by pulling the canopy latch to the rear of the fuselage and lifting the canopy from the fuselage. Apply a piece of hook-sided adhesive backed hook and loop strip to the battery tray.
  • Page 15 VERTICAL STABILIZER INSTALLATION (CON'T) Position the FlexJet so that it is level. Standing approximately 10-20 feet (3-7 m) behind the aircraft, visually sight the vertical stabilizer, ensuring the installation is true and perpendicular relative to the fuselage. Use a file to fine-tune the plywood tube mount if needed. After ensuring the vertical stabilizer is true, remove the stabilizer.

    EDF ACCESS HATCH, TAIL PIPE, and EXHAUST NOZZLE RE-INSTALLATION Required Tools and Fasteners: #1 Phillips Screwdriver (2) M3x10 Phillips Washer Head Self-Tapping Screws, (2) M3x25 phillips Self-Tapping Screws General Office Tape Carefully collapse the tail pipe (without creasing) and insert the tail pipe into the fuselage until it reaches the EDF fan housing. Note, the tail pipe is asymetrical and can only be installed in one orientation.

  • Page 17: Ventral Fin Installation

    VENTRAL FIN INSTALLATION 5-min Epoxy or Medium CA Required Tools and Fasteners: Test fit the Ventral fin to the fuselage. Please note, the ventral fins are asymetrical and will only fit properly in one direction. Mix and apply an appropriate amount of 5-min epoxy to fuselage and ventral fin. Place the ventral fin onto the Fuselage. Avoid applying glue to the EDF access hatch area.

    TRANSMITTER CONTROL DIRECTION TEST Refer to the chart below to determine the proper control surface directions relative to transmitter stick input. Please note, control surface movement in the chart have been exaggerated for clarity. If controls are reversed, DO NOT REVERSE CONTROLS IN THE TRANSMITTER OR THE AURA CONFIG TOOL. Email us at support@flexinnovations.com for corrective action.

  • Page 19: Flight Control Sensor Test

    FLIGHT CONTROL SENSOR DIRECTION TEST Perform a test of the gyro system to verify the corrections made for a given movement are correct. If any of the tests do not result in the correct reaction for the airplane's gyro system, DO NOT FLY THE AIRPLANE, and contact us via email at support@flexinnovations.com. The flight control system activates with RF broadcast.

  • Page 20: Center Of Gravity

    CENTER OF GRAVITY VERIFICATION The center of gravity (CG) location for the FlexJet is located at the forward edge of the plastic wing bolt tab and is measured by lifting the completed airplane upright, with all components installed and the landing gear in the down position. This location was determined from numerous test flights by designer and TopGun Champion David Ribbe.

  • Page 24: Airframe Repairs

    AIRFRAME REPAIRS The FlexJet is molded from durable EPO foam and is repairable with most adhesives. Similar to building and repairing wood or composite aircraft, the correct glue for a given application is critical to the repair holding and not breaking again. For major repairs, such as a broken fuselage, epoxy is preferred because it allows time to correct any misalignment, and is less brittle than CAs.
