Shogun, the industry leader and creator of the 400-class 500 gram helicopter has once again raised the bar with the Shogun 400 V2. We've taken a
great heli and made it better with all the parts and features loyal Shogun owners have asked for! Leading this long list of upgrades is the new belt drive
system for driving the tail rotor. The belt drive provides a strength and durability level not achievable with a shaft drive design.
But we did not stop there! We packed the Shogun 400 V2 with tons of features you want! Lightweight flybar paddles make the cyclic controls fast
without loosing the stability and smoothness that makes the Shogun so rewarding to fly. We've also widened the landing gear, updated the body style,
included ball linkages for the controls, shifted the tail rotor servo position to the tail boom, and even extended the battery tray to make it easier to install
your favorite LiPO battery.
All of this, combined with our complete line of after-market accessories, as well as our extensive dealer network and online support, means you can
do whatever you want with your Shogun and we'll be there to back you up with the service and parts you want! Get a Shogun and find out what the
world of performance electric helicopters is really all about! Performance, Reliability, and Excitement!

Summary of Contents for EF Helicopter Shogun 400 V2

  • Page 1 Weight RTF: 520 grams (Approximate) Shogun, the industry leader and creator of the 400-class 500 gram helicopter has once again raised the bar with the Shogun 400 V2. We've taken a great heli and made it better with all the parts and features loyal Shogun owners have asked for! Leading this long list of upgrades is the new belt drive system for driving the tail rotor.

  • Page 2: Customer Service Information

    You must use the same amount of caution during use as when flying and operating a glow-powered helicopter. We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the Shogun 400 V2 helicopter that you perform only basic maneuvers, such as hovering, until you are more familiar with the setup and flight characteristics of the helicopter.

  • Page 3: Items Needed For Assembly

    ITEMS NEEDED FOR ASSEMBLY This section describes our recommendations to help you decide which accessories to purchase for your Shogun 400 V2 helicopter. Remember, this helicopter is small, lightweight and 3D-capable. When choosing accessories, we suggest choosing the lightest available. The lighter the overall weight of the helicopter, the better it will fly.
  • Page 4 FINAL ASSEMBLY SEQUENCE Now that you're familiar with the main component-parts of your new Shogun 400 V2 helicopter, it's time to get started finishing it. There's really not much to it. Below we outline the main steps for your convenience:...
  • Page 5 INSTALLING YOUR SERVOS IMPORTANT The helicopter frame is predrilled to fit servos with single-ended servo mounting lugs. If the servos you use have dual-ended mounting lugs, you will need to drill new 1/16" diameter holes through the frame to install the mounting screws. For the best control response and reliability, it's important to make sure that you use high-quality, ball bearing micro servos.

  • Page 6: Installing Your Battery

    Mount your receiver to the mounting space in front of the pitch and roll servos, using a piece of double-sided foam tape. IMPORTANT When installing your receiver, make sure that the servo lead mounting pins are toward the right side of the main frame. This will make it easier to connect the servo leads.
  • Page 7 ADJUSTING THE TAIL ROTOR BELT TENSION IMPORTANT It's important to make sure that tail rotor belt tension is set properly. If the belt is too tight, the gears and/or the belt could fail, and the drive-train can bind, causing loss of power and control. If the belt tension is too loose, the belt could slip and cause loss of control.
  • Page 8 Connect the Z-Bend in the collective control wire to your servo arm, then attach the servo arm to the servo. IMPORTANT When set up properly, the servo arm should be 90º to the servo and the collective pitch plate should be 90º to the vertical frame post. Install the servo arm retaining screw, then move the collective up and down several times to ensure smooth operation.
  • Page 9 When satisfied with the alignment, tighten the two clamp screws firmly to secure the servo mount assembly into place. INSTALLING THE ROLL CONTROL LINKAGE Turn on your radio control system and center the roll servo. Double-check that the roll servo is moving in the correct direction. When the roll stick is moved right, the servo output shaft should rotate counterclockwise.
  • Page 10 Cut away all but one arm from a servo horn. Install one ball-link into the hole that is 7mm out from the center of the servo horn, using the small screw provided. IMPORTANT If the hole in your servo arm is too large for the screw to thread into, you will need to use a machine screw and nut to install the ball-link to the servo arm.

  • Page 11: Preflight Setup

    PREFLIGHT SETUP Before flying your helicopter for the first time, it's important to double-check everything once more and to make sure that you've set the helicopter up properly for its first few flights. Check the alignment of the tail rotor. With the main rotor blades level, look from the back of the helicopter at the tail rotor.
  • Page 12 ADJUSTING THE COLLECTIVE PITCH - FOR NEW PILOTS OR NON-3D FLYING If you've never flown the Shogun before, or if you are new to helicopters (gas-powered or electric), or if you will not be using your Shogun V2 for 3D flight, then we recommend setting the collective pitch as described in this section. We suggest using positive 7º and negative 3º...
  • Page 13 Remove the pitch gauge and reinstall it so that the 7º mark is lined up with the leading edge of the rotor blade. Now, apply full up collective. Using your transmitter's EPA adjustment, adjust the collective so that the base of the pitch gauge is parallel to the flybar.
