Summary of Contents for Precision Aerobatics ADDICTION

  • Page 1 Do not stand in line with, or in front of a spinning propeller and never touch it with any object. Precision Aerobatics quality control team checks each plane before it leaves the factory to ensure that each kit is in fine condition.
  • Page 2: Equipment Selection

    • Propeller - VOX 12x5 wood - This prop is a must-have with the Addiction V2 and is provided in our iPAs Pro package, this prop is an excellent match with overall performance for fast aerobatics and 3D. Great flight speed, faster roll rate, tighter tumbles and waterfall.
  • Page 3: Pre-Assembly

    NOTE: Bottom wing square trims are made of high quality vinyl. Air cooling exit Do not apply heat as you may damage it. Aileron servo opening Stabilizer slot + tail servo openings Landing gear bay www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 4: Aileron Servo Installation

    Expose the slots for the control horns. Since the Addiction V2 has an opaque vinyl trim over one side of the slot, use a heated paperclip or a modelling knife to reveal the slot through the top side of the wing as it is easy to see the slot through the translucent covering.
  • Page 5 These pushrods have been proven to be extremely reliable under extreme flight loads if made properly. We don’t recommend changing to metal linkages which tend to flex and are heavier, therefore, shift the CG. Note the Z-bends orientation Aileron linkage geometry www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 6 LED night flying Illuminating your Addiction V2 for night flying is done via main flight battery, therefore, additional battery is not required. Use the PA light harness to switch on the lights. Plug it into the battery balancer plug before takeoff (leave the three LED strip plugs permanently plugged in).
  • Page 7 Sealing the elevator hinge gap is an extremely important step and an integral part of the Addiction design. Skipping this step will have a detrimental effect on the flight characteristics! Once the rudder is installed, it must be checked for warp (rear pilot view).
  • Page 8 Insulate the cables with a shrinking tube over each of the soldered cables (fit them on before soldering the wires). Tail extension leads Solder and insulate each cable PA Lightweight servo extension www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 9 Z-bends; the rudder control horn Z-bend inserts from the bottom and the elevator Z-bend inserts from the outside of the horn and servo arm. Verify the gluing integrity of all Z-bends, as you did with the ailerons, prior to final installation. www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 10 Note: if the LG struts hit the balsa on the sides of the fuselage, use a sharp modeling knife to trim the balsa keeping the gap with the LG to minimum. www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 11 Thrust 25 setup. I purposely designed the Addiction motorbox as a separate part to the fuselage. The main advantage is after a crash/mishap as the flyer only needs to replace the motorbox instead of the entire fuselage and tail section. That saves a lot of money.
  • Page 12: Motor And Esc Installation

    Then add a quarter turn clockwise on the bolts to secure them. Note: The motor can be inserted into the motorbox only through the bottom rear chamber (feed cables first). www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 13 If it doesn’t, power down the ESC and swap the positions of any two motor cables or reprogram your Quantum ESC for reversed rotation. Remove the propeller as a safety precaution before powering up the ESC. www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 14: Cowling Attachment

    CA. Position them as close as possible to the fuselage minimizing any gap. You may trim them with a modeling knife if needed. LG cuffs – leave minimum gap www.PrecisionAerobatics.com Copyrights ©2007 Precision Aerobatics. All rights reserved...
  • Page 15: Propeller And Spinner Installation

    It should fit snug APC propellers are not recommended for the Addiction due to the higher amps drawn and vibration which can lead to a motorbox failure or damage to your gear.
  • Page 16: Wing Attachment

    Center of Gravity (CG) The Addiction V2 was designed with a very narrow CG range to attain the best flight performance. Using the iPAs® setup we have listed; you should end up with a center of gravity very close to the ideal position. Fine adjustments should be made by sliding the battery fore or aft on the battery tray (and even all the way into the cowl).
  • Page 17: Transmitter Setup

    The Addiction V2 is an excellent high-speed sport and 3D performer; therefore, in order to achieve the best of both worlds we spent many hours testing the CG to find the “sweet spot” that offers a peak in overall performance. We found the "sweet spot"...
  • Page 18: Maiden Flight

    NOTE: Bottom wing square trims are made of high-quality vinyl. Do not apply heat as you may damage it. As a final touch, decorate your Addiction V2 using the supplied PA decals. You may use the following photos as a guide.
  • Page 19 Addiction Replacement parts list We believe that you will enjoy your Addiction for a very long time. In the event of inevitable mishaps and broken parts, all you need to do is to order replacement spare parts to restore your Addiction and be back in the air.
  • Page 20 The PA 1.5” carbon Fiber spinner is a perfect match to complete the fuselage shape and enhance the aerodynamics of your Addiction. The combination of precision CNC machined Aluminum back plate and our German made precision prop adapter allows true spinning without motor’s performance deterioration.
