WARNING: This manual contains important information that will help you maintain and operate your model aircraft in a reliable and safe manner. Please read the instructions and warnings carefully prior to assembly, setup or use. As this model aircraft is a sophisticated hobby product, it must be flown with safety and common sense in mind, failure in doing so may result in injury or property damage.
All in all, it is a classic. While Arrows Hobby has introduced a number of EDF jets, from the hand tossed Viper to the high end MiG-29 and F-15, our engineer- ing team began with the Marlin 64mm EDF, still the best EDF trainer made. The F-86 is the successor to the Marlin with fixed gear for strength and the same full 5-channel performance with flaps.

Install the battery into the fuselage- securing it with the preinstalled battery straps. Note: The weight of each battery may vary due to different manufacturing techniques.
Preflight check transmitter and model setup After assembly and prior to your first flight, make sure all control surfaces respond correctly to your transmitter by refer- ring to the diagram below. Control throws The suggested control throw setting for the 64mm F-86 are as follows (dual rate setting): Tips: The maiden flight should always be flown using low rates, fly the aircraft until you are famil- iar with its characteristics prior to trying high...
Finding the center of gravity Finding the correct center of gravity is critical in ensuring that the aircraft 130mm-140mm performs in a stable and responsive manner. Please adjust the weight distribution so the aircraft balances in the range stated on the diagram. •...
Before flying the model Monitor your flight time Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as a stopwatch or on the transmitter, if available). As modern Lithium Polymer batteries are not designed to discharge completely, when the battery runs low, the ESC will lower then completely cut the power to the motors to protect the battery.
Troubleshooting Problem Possible Cause Solution Lower throttle stick and throttle trim to lowest Aircraft will not respond to ESC is not armed. settings. the throttle but responds to Throttle channel is reversed. other controls. Reverse throttle channel on transmitter. Replace damaged parts. Damaged spinner, propeller, motor or motor mount.
