- Page 3 The servo bay of the Zagi FiXX was designed to fit the Hitec HS-55 servo. The HS-55 is a moderately priced readily available servo with more than adequate torque. Clip both of the mount tabs off of the servos Find the control arm with small holes in the parts bag supplied with the servo.
- Page 4 Trim levers are provided to adjust the zero position of the servos. Center the trim levers. The control surfaces of the Zagi FiXX are called elevons because they com- bine the functions of the elevator and aileron by means of an elec- tronic mixer.
- Page 5 Always turn the transmitter switch to the on position before plugging in the airplane battery. Check the battery condition indicator on the transmitter to make sure that the battery is charged. Plug the ESC into a charged battery. The male and female JST connectors have a polarity lock.
- Page 6 Cut out the square paint thick membrane in the corner of the servo Stick the servo plug through the square hole to the bottom of the wing. Push the servo into the servo bay while pulling the wire from the bottom.
- Page 7 Cram the wire into the cutout. Use a probe to push the wire toward the receiver bay. Hold the servo connector and pull the wire into the receiver bay. Pull the wire and apply a piece of tape over the channel to hold the servo wire in place.
- Page 8 Squeeze a thin bead of Zagi-Lock CA glue in the slot located at the inboard end of the elevon. Center the control horn in the slot.
- Page 9 Locate the 2 3/4” wood motor mount stick in the hardware bag. Smooth the four sides of the stick on a piece of medium sandpaper. Round both ends of the stick by drawing it backwords across the sandpaper. Rounding the ends of the motor mount stick will make it easier to fit in the gearbox and the motor pylon.
- Page 10 Locate the red Zagi-FiXX decal on the decal sheet. The decal is used as a glue clamp for the motor pylon. Stick it on top of one of the panels.
- Page 11 Apply a bead of Zagi-Lock CA glue to the flat surfaces above the motor wire hole. Pinch the seam together and pull the tape over to the other side.
- Page 12 The antenna groove is located on the right panel. It extends from the center pod all the way to the tip. At the pod end of the antenna groove, spin a 1/8” drill bit or a pointed tool to make a hole. Aim the drill at an angle to come out in the corner of the receiver bay.
- Page 13 Separate the hook from the loop sides. Peel the backing from the hook sides. Squeeze a zigzag bead of Zagi-Lock CA on the glue side of the Velcro. Glue one in the receiver bay and one in the forward most end the battery bay.
- Page 14 Wipe the painted surfaces with alcohol before applying any decals. Glass cleaners like Windex work also. Use the big blue Z decal to cover the servos Use the large white rectangle for the canopy hinge and lock. The logo print or the all white rectangle may be used.
- Page 15 Locate one of the two 14 1/2 X 3/ 4” clear armor strips on the decal sheet. These strips are provided as crash armor for severe head-on crashes. In the event of such a crash the strips help to prevent the trailingedge of the wing from cracking or separating.

- Page 20 Zagi-FiXX pitches up and immediately dives, add 2 or 3 clicks of down trim. Repeat the glide test until the Zagi-FiXX flies straight ahead with a slow sink rate to a sliding landing. Increase the launch speed each time to provide longer controlled flights.
- Page 21 The Zagi-FiXX is supplied with a balanced power system. Changing the prop will change the load on the motor ESC and the battery. The Zagi-5 ESC is rated at 5 amps continuous. The Zagi-FiXX with a 370 mAh battery and the stock prop draw 2.5 amps at full throttle.
