INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION The Avios Zazzy is a sport aerobatic model intended to be a pilot’s first introduction to a low wing model. A large tapered wing, combined with a long, generously sized tail gives the Zazzy docile enough flight characteristics for newer pilots, while still agile enough to keep even veteran pilots on their toes.
6. Wing spar tube REQUIRED TO COMPLETE MODEL: In its ‘Plug n Fly’ format the Zazzy will still require some additional electronic components to get it ‘flight ready’. Avios recommends the products below for optimum performance and great value. Available at hobbyking.com...
ASSEMBLY 1. Begin assembly by locating the fuselage and wing tube joiner. Insert the wing tube into the hole in the fuselage. It may be necessary to move the ESC or servo wires to stop any interference with the wing tube. The wing tube simply slides in, it is not glued. 2.

SETTING UP YOUR MODEL: 1. With your receiver installed and all servos plugged into their corresponding channels, connect the flight battery to the ESC to power up the electronics. With the model now armed, ensure all servos are centered and all control surfaces are level. If not, adjust by turning the control clevis’s by hand accordingly until the control surfaces are level as shown.

5. The center gravity(CG) for the Zazzy is approximately 95-100mm from the leading edge of the wing. Using the recommended Turnigy Graphene 3000mah 65C 4S lipo, the correct CG can be attained quite easily due to the ample battery space. If using larger capacity batteries, you may need to shift the battery backwards more to attain the correct CG.

Avoid flying in area’s with roads, electric/telephone poles/wires and water near by or within close proximity to full size air traffic. ●...
