Connect the servos and ESC to your receiver and power up the system with a battery so you can operate the servos and motor (if not done so already, this may also require linking the receiver to your transmitter).

Still with the radio system powered up, check that the pushrod hole in the vectoring servo wheel is 90° to the servo (this may require removing and rotating the servo wheel to fi nd another hole for the pushrod). If necessary, also adjust the V-bend in the vectoring pushrod so the motor will be centered.

    You could measure and check the throws (provided on page 12), or simply program your low-rates to 60% and the throws will be close enough for you to fi ne tune from there. While you’re at it, your Hadron will also benefi t from -30% exponential on high- rate and -20% exponential on low-rate (negative values apply to Futaba and Tactic radios—control response should be softer/...

If using a heavier or lighter battery, fi rst determine where the battery must be positioned to get the Hadron to balance within the range specifi...
  • Page 7 Optional: Install the Canopy Hook Bold pilots who have the courage to fl at-spin the Hadron suddenly and violently are advised to install the optional canopy hook for additional canopy security. Pilots who fl y the Hadron “normally” (performing traditional aerobatics and speed fl ying) need not install the hook.
  • Page 8: Mount The Propeller

    Mount the Propeller It’s not essential to balance the propeller, but to extract the highest degree of performance possible out of your motor, use a precision propeller balancer to balance your propeller. If you feel or hear excess vibration, stop the motor immediately and examine the propeller.

    Launching the Hadron is a cinch. It’s so easy that you can do it yourself; however, if it makes you feel better, you can always have someone else launch it on its fi rst fl ight. It’s best to launch the Hadron on low rates and at full throttle. Simply hold it by the fi nger grips on the bottom of the fuselage, advance the throttle to full and throw it upward into the wind at a 10-15°...

    7.) Once the Hadron starts spinning you can release the right stick, but continue to hold the left stick until you want the spin to stop. The easiest way to exit the fl at spin is to center the rudder/vectoring stick, but leave the throttle at full. Usually, the Hadron will stop spinning within a revolution or two and fl...

    Hadron balances in-between. Balanced nearer the front of the C.G. range you’ll notice that the Hadron is more stable and fl ies smoother, but can fl y and land slower when balanced nearer the aft end of the range. If most of your fl ying consists of high-speed passes and full-throttle fl ying you’ll want to balance your Hadron nearer the front of the range.
  • Page 13 II. Programming Instructions: The ESC is factory-set for the Hadron—other than possibly having to calibrate the throttle, there is nothing that needs to be done with the ESC. However, should you desire to re-program the ESC to suit different requirements, following are full programming...

    REPAIRS AeroCell foam is easily reparable. Pliable glue such as canopy glue is the very best, but requires tape to hold the parts together while the glue dries overnight. CA is usually the go-to adhesive for repairing AeroCell and with a little CA accelerator the repair will be complete in minutes.

    2. You must assemble the Hadron according to the instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so may result in an unsafe or unfl yable model. In a few cases the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those instances the written instructions should be considered as correct.
