5- Do not fl y with crosswind that press the model in your direction. All aerodynamic bodies, also the Diabolo S are sensitive against crosswinds and can move cross to you more than you have expected. - Page 4 Part-No. translator Diabolo - Diabolo S The following parts are similar between both models but not the same. So use this tarnsla- tor to fi nd the right part no. if you need any spare. upper left side frame D258...

- Page 6 This is the mechanic in delivery condition. Remove the battery plate for the rear fl ight battery. Remove the roller. Later the roll servo cables will be placed between the spacers under the roller.
- Page 7 Remove the rear tail servo holder. Do not lose the screw. Keep both parts together. Open bag 7 and sort the parts on the table. Start with mounting the fl y- barless system. We recom- mend to mount it directly on the U-profi...
- Page 8 Mount the ball joints on the servo arms using for each arm a hex lense screw M3x16 D103, two 3mm washers 002 and a M3 lock nut 008. Attach two rods D54 with four ball joints D72. The overall length of both roll servo rods should be 103 mm about.
- Page 9 Fix the servo with four hex screws M3x12 D84 and washers 002 using Loctite on the screw thread. Do not overtighten the screws. Then the thin bushes in the rubber blocks would be compressed. Now mount the right roll servo in the same way.
- Page 10 The screws are easier to mount if you look before atta- ching the screws into the hole to what direction the thread is going about. The rubber blocks are elastic so during mount it is not always guaranteed that the thread is also in the center of the bush.
- Page 11 Blocks in mounted condition. Length of elevator servo arm should be 102.5mm. The small triangle carbon part makes it a little bit diffi cult to insert the servo but a servo like Futaba BLS451 defi netly fi ts. If you have problems then loose for the servo mount the three lense screws of the triangle a little bit and tighten them again...
- Page 12 Mount the upper block with two hex screw M3x10 D83 (no Loctite!). Do not overtight the threads in the blocks. For the lower block use two hex screws M3x8 D82. Cut the rubber grommet D80 with a knife and insert the ser- vo cable.
- Page 13 All servo cables should be un- der the mechanic right now. Now mount the roller block. The best is to attach fi rst the screws and from inside the spacers. Then add the roll servo cables between and add Loctite on the screws threads. Then add the roller block.
- Page 14 Install the cables as shown on the pic. The tail servo holders should be mounted with four hex screws M3x12 D84 and washers 002 using Loctite. Note that the block with the countersunk hole is placed on the cable side. The fuselage is very narrow at this area so a countersunk screw is necessa- ry there.
- Page 15 If you are sure the servo arm is in correct position then add the countersunk screw M3x12 471 on the rear servo block using Loctite. Accordingly mount the front block with a hex screw M3x14 D85 using Loctite. Now plug in the connectors into the FBL system.
- Page 16 Press all cable length that is not necessary under the U- profi le. There is a lot of space for cables and the upper side looks very nice without unne- cessary cables. Attach a piece of double sided foam (about 3mm or 1/8“) on the reiceiver.
- Page 17 Add now the swashplate body D226 on the justation help D289 on the mainshaft. Mount the left servo rod using a hex lense screw M3x12 D102 and a conic spacer D233. For maximum safety here add righ Loctite on BOTH threads and remove unneces- sary Loctite at once.
- Page 18 Check that brass bush is mo- ving free in the guidance after tightening the screw. Add the swash guidance D32 using two hex screws M3x25 D90 and two spacers D244 using Loctite. Have a fi nal check that the swash guidance is parallel to the mainshaft.
- Page 19 Now prepare the rotorhead. Open bag 8 and sort the parts on the table. The big washer shims are not necessary and only added for individual tighte- ning of the spindle. The length of the linkages is about 62 mm. Attach the linkages on the arms with two hex lense screws M3x12 D102 using...
- Page 20 Add the two joints bolts M3x4 076 on the swashplate using Loctite. Mount the swashdriver arms D65 as shown in the pic using Loctite. The screw for moun- ting on the hub is a hex lense M3x10 D101 with a washer 3x6x0.2 455, the outer one is a M3x12 D102 that is screwed into the bush D241.
- Page 21 Fix the rotorhead with a special M4 jesus bolt M4 D78. Tighten both black screws M3x12 D119 using Loctite. After tightening you can press the links 385on the joint bolts 076. Mount the linkages on the swashplate using hex lense screws M3x12 D102 using Loctite.
- Page 22 Now the mechanic should be in the shown condition. We continue with the motor mount. Open bag 6 and sort the screws on the table. Depen- dend from the motor type (some motors need very short M4 screws there are two lengths included.
- Page 23 Attach the pinion on the mo- tor shaft. The delivered pinion is normally 20T with 6mm shaft. There are also pinions with 8mm hole available, also pinions from 15-22T with 6mm shaft and from 18-22T with 8mm shaft. If the motor shaft has no fl...
- Page 24 Now the mechanic should be in this condition. Remove from the front end of the tailboom with a fl at fi le a part of the anodizing as shown on the picture. This is neces- sary to eliminate electric noise from the belt.
- Page 25 Look that all cables are bet- ween boom and U-profi le and that no cable will be hurt when you insert the boom into the front clamp. Adjust the boom that it is some millimetres out of the front clamp. Now insert provisorically the brackets into the tail housing to fi...
- Page 26 Remove the rubber band. After pulling the belt thru the boom with a long wire with bended end put on the tailrotor housing that the screws of the brackets fi t fully in the slots of the boom. Lokk in the housing that the brackets are vertical.
- Page 27 Tighten the belt pulling the tailboom outwards. Note that on the Diabolo S there is not much tail thrust necessary and on the other hand the power lost of a too much tightened belt should be as low as possi- ble.
- Page 28 Fuselage mount Pull the tailbelt thru the boom (a wire with a bended end works best). Remove with a fi le or sanspaper the black anodizing a little bit at the front end so that there is an electric contact between frame and boom.
- Page 29 The lower left mounting screw must correspond with this hole. In the pics only the preassem- bled mechanic is shown. Of course you must fi nish the me- chanic fi rst before you insert it. Also it is highly recommended to make the fi...
- Page 30 Then attach the upper right screw. To get the holes con- centric you must press now the end of the boom to the upper end of the fuselage (compress the foam). Finally mount the upper left screw. When you mount now the landing bows be careful that you do not scratch the surface of the fuselage.
- Page 31 Now turn carefully the wire and look that you do not make scratches on the fuselage. A bit of masking tape can help to avoid this. Now, holding the front end in, press the rear end into the slot. Take care that the hole in the fuselage and in the rear skid holder of the mechanic are corresponding.
- Page 32 Tighten now the front screws using also Loctite 243. The tailgear mount is different to the normal Diabolo because you have no access to the boom clamps. So you must tighten the mechanic correct before you insert it into the fuselage (we have done this for you).
- Page 33 Tighten the screws, look inside that they are parallel together and that the tail fi n is parallel to the mainrotor shaft. To mount the belt wheel the right washer shim of the wheel (on the side without grub holes) must be removed. Then put it in over the belt (Careful! Do not damage the belt).
- Page 34 Then tighten the washer shim using three lense screws M3x6 D99 and Loctite. Now add the small special washer that fi ts exactly in your tail housing. Do not loose it. It was made induvidually. To be on the safe side you can measure the shim with a digital caliper and if you later would loose it we can turn a new one...
- Page 35 For mounting the front canopy widen the upper rear end and move the front part over the mechanic. Look that you do not hurt any cable. For mounting the front part the slot between the fuselage part must be ALWAYS parallel and all the fi...
- Page 36 It is necessary for high speed fl ight to attach about 6“/15cm of clear tape on each side before each fl ight. During turns with zero forward speed the front fuselage could else be opened a little bit what is redu- cing speed.
