FLAP CONTROL TRAVEL

The use of flaps for slow flight and landing is essential for the proper operation of a turbine-powered
model. Flaps should be deployed below about 70-80 mph. No pitch trim change is necessary.
The 15 degrees down flap position is used for take-off and the first phase of the landing pattern or
when safe, slow flight is desired. At this angle of deflection, the flaps provide a significant increase in lift
with only a slight increase in drag. Take-off distance will be reduced.
The full flap position of 45 degrees is used for landing. A further increase in lift is available along with
aerodynamic drag that is necessary to overcome the idle thrust of the turbine engine. In strong winds
reduce to 35 degrees for landing.
It is not recommended that the flaps be used with greater than the above max full flap deflection.
Use the 3-position "land" switch will select "flaps up", "flaps take-off", and "flaps landing".
Important note: The flaps must be rigged to deflect equally. This is easily accomplished with a JR
matchbox.

RECEIVER BATTERY

If a 5-cell pack is used, install a 5.2 voltage regulator. Our prototype used 14000 mAH Duralite "stick"
pack and regulator; 6+ flights are achievable.
Place both the ECU and receiver batteries either next to the hopper tank or in the nose as need by
the C.G.

THE RECEIVER

ROUTING THE ANTENNA

Route the antenna down the top of the fuselage as shown.
It is your responsibility to be certain that the equipment you use has been
thoroughly tested under these conditions for interference free and long
range operation

Assembly & Operation Manual
BVM flies our Bandit ARF with the 955s or s2000 receiver to
accommodate the digital servos.
Use sticky back Velcro to hold the receiver in position to the
left side of the fuselage.
