(STOL) machine. Prepare your bush landing strips, snow fields and water runways for this exciting workhorse of the sky. The Avios BushMule V2 is ready to take whatever you can throw at it. It is designed to perform many tasks,and takes everything in its stride, rough runways, water, snow, dropping cargo and FPV flying, the adventure starts today.
3. If you have no need to remove these parts or if you are going to push the BushMule to its extreme flight envelope, the Avios team suggests that you apply either foam safe contact adhesive or a long set time 2-part epoxy on these tail surfaces.
3. Installation of main wing 1. The main wing center piece houses the motors, ESC’s, flaps, flap servos and main wiring harness. 2. Please center all servos, and flex the ailerons on the outer wing panels. 3. Connect all control rods to the control horns with the supplied hardware to the flaps and ailerons. 4.
4. Electronic avionics set up 1. The BushMule V2 ideally uses a 6 channel receiver as a minimum to get the best from the model. Bind your chosen receiver to your transmitter, and plug in all the servos to the corre- sponding channels.

The centre of gravity or CoG is the most important measurement for a successful maiden flight of any model airplane. The suggested CoG for the Avios BushMule V2 is 50-60mm from the leading edge of the wing with your flight battery installed. We suggest aiming for the 50mm forward position for initial flights.
Balancing the 3 bladed propellers helps to keep vibration to a minimum, and helps with efficiency of the drive train. With your Avios BushMule V2 fully built and ready for flight now is a perfect time to go over your model once more to make sure nothing has been overlooked, check that all screws, nuts and bolts are secure, and that your flight control surfaces are set correctly and secure.
• If this is the first flight with your BushMule V2, double check the CoG is at the correct position. If not adjust the battery position inside the battery area to achieve the required balance point.
• The BushMule V2 has a very wide flight envelope, and will happily fly very slowly with the help of the large barn door style flaps, the BushMule V2 is a true STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) workhorse.

Even though the optional floats have the provision for a water rudder it’s a lot easier to taxi on water, snow or rough fields with this additional mix. Flying the BushMule V2 with this throttle / rudder mix also opens up the Bushmule’s wild side with flat spins and crazy antics.
