INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Flyzone Zero. Not only is the
Zero popular because of its history and attractive outlines,
the Zero also happens to be one of those ideal scale subjects.
Its large wing and tail area, long tail moment and landing gear
placement make it a great fl yer. And even though this Zero
is relatively small at about 15% scale, all the good fl ying
attributes still translate down to this Flyzone model, making
it an easy, enjoyable fl yer!

page, then select the
Zero when the airplane
page opens. A "Tech

corrected or updated
technical information.

ADDITIONAL ITEMS REQUIRED

RTF Edition

Other than ordinary hobby tools, nothing else is required to
complete the RTF edition of the Zero, but some pilots may
choose to upgrade the included Smart charger to a more
advanced charger for reduced charge times, and switch from
the included 3S battery to a 4S battery for increased fl ight
performance. Refer to the charger recommendation and list of
batteries under the list of items required for the Rx-R edition.

Rx-R Edition

Radio System
To operate all eight functions of the Flyzone Zero (ailerons,
elevator, throttle, rudder, retracts, fl aps, releasable bomb,
lights) a minimum 7 channels is required. The lighting

harness may be connected to an additional, 8
or connected in-line to any other channel with a Y-harness
(FUTM4130). The Futaba 7C 7-channel 2.4 GHz FASST
airplane radio (FUTK7004) is suitable and capable of
operating all the functions.
LiPo Battery
The Flyzone Zero may be fl own with either a 3S or 4S 2200mAh
30C battery. On 3S the Zero fl ies enjoyably and scale-like,
but a 4S battery will increase speed and vertical performance.
Following are the batteries recommended:
❍ 3S 11.1V 2200 mAh 30C LiPo (GPMP0861)
❍ 4S 14.8V 2200 mAh 30C LiPo (GPMP0862)
For additional batteries more adhesive-back hook-&-loop
Velcro is also required:
❍ Great Planes Velcro Hook & Loop 1x 6" (GPMQ4480)
LiPo Charger
The Smart Charger included with the RTF is a safe way to
charge your LiPo battery, but it's very basic and will take about
two hours to charge a normally depleted 2200 mAh battery. A
suitable upgrade over the Smart Charger (or a recommended
charger for the Rx-R version) is the DuraTrax Onyx 235 AC/
DC Advance Peak Charger (DTXP4235). The 235 features
110V AC or 12V DC input power, adjustable charge rate (to
charge the recommended 2200 mAh batteries in as little as
30 minutes) and an LCD digital display screen (so you can
see how much capacity it took to charge the battery - handy
for calculating optimum fl ight time).
Y-Harness
A minimum 7-channel transmitter is required to independently
operate all the functions of the Flyzone Zero. To operate
both the fl aps and the releasable bomb with the included
TTX-600 6-channel transmitter, the fl ap and bomb release
servo must be connected with a Y-harness (FUTM4130 - not
included). To release the bomb, the fl aps will have to be
partially extended with the fl ap dial. Another option would
be to disconnect either of the two servos from the receiver
making that function inoperable.
