Fun Options - Hangar 9 HAN1300 Instruction Manual

• Pushrod: The rigid mechanism that transfers movement from
the servo to the control surface.
• Receiver (Rx): The receiver unit in the airplane receives your
signals from the ground transmitter and passes the instructions
along to the airplane' s servos.
• Roll Axis: The horizontal plane on which the airplane' s wings
are raised or lowered. By adjusting the ailerons, you can drop a
wing tip below the roll axis and cause the airplane to bank or roll.
• Rudder: The hinged control surface on the vertical stabilizer
that controls the airplane' s yaw. Moving the rudder to the left
causes the airplane to yaw left; moving the rudder to the right
causes it to yaw right.
• Servo: The servo transforms your ground commands into
physical adjustments of the airplane while it' s in the air.
• Servo Output Arm: A removable arm or wheel that connects
the servo to the pushrod — also called servo horn.
• Spinner: Term describing the nose cone that covers the pro-
peller hub.
• Switch Harness: This switch is commonly located on the
fuselage and governs the ON/OFF mechanism for the flight pack.
• Tachometer: A device that measures the engine' s rpm (rota-
tion per minute) by counting light impulses that pass through
the spinning propeller.
• Thread Locker: A liquid that solidifies; used to prevent
screws from loosening due to vibration.

Fun Options

Hangar 9' s "Fun Options" bolt directly on the Xtra Easy. The Xtra
Easy comes with "pre-installed" blind nuts that allow you to easi-
ly bolt on the Drop Box and Photo OP.
Sailplane Launch
Now you can take a friend' s 2-meter (or smaller) sailplane, such
as Hangar 9' s Aspire, up to amazing altitudes in no time. Great
team act that makes sailplane flying fun at powered fields.

• Torque Rods: Inserted into the ailerons, these rigid wire rods
run along the wing' s trailing edge, then bend downward and
connect to the pushrods.
• Trainer Airplane: Designed to fly with high stability at low
speeds, a trainer model airplane allows new users some extra
reaction time as they learn to control the airplane' s movements.
• Transmitter (Tx): The device used on the ground to transmit
instructions to the airplane. Three transmitter modes are used in
model airplanes. The most common is Mode II, where the left
stick controls the throttle and rudder, and the right stick controls
the elevator and ailerons.
• Vertical Stabilizer: The vertical surface of the tail gives the
airplane stability while in flight.
• Wheel Collar: The round retaining piece that anchors wheels
in place on the wheel axle.
• Wing: Because wings provide the primary lift force on an air-
plane, adjustments to the wings affect the airplane' s movements
while in flight.
• Yaw Axis: The vertical plane through which the airplane' s nose
passes as it yaws to the left or to the right. The rudder controls
the yaw axis.
• Z-Bend: The wire ends of pushrods have Z-shaped bends,
which attach to the servo.
Drop Box
With a youngster' s parachute-equipped action figure placed in the
drop box, the game is to see if you can judge the wind drift accu-
rately enough to catch the figure — before it hits the ground! Or,
drop paintballs, candy, ping pong balls, streamers —
whatever' s fun and safe.

Photo OP
With an inexpensive camera like the Kodak
Quick Snap ™ , you can take aerial pictures of your flying site —
you won't believe what things look like from a bird' s -eye view!
