Horizon Hobby AerBird3 Bedienungsanleitung

Instruction Manual

The Place to Start™

Your Aerobird 3™adventures are about to begin. In order to have a

safe and successful experience, please read and follow this instructional

manual carefully. To enhance your flying experience, we have also

included an instructional DVD that will provide you with flying tips and

help you learn how to perform advanced aerial maneuvers.

While easy to fly, the Aerobird 3 is not intended for beginner pilots.

If you have never flown one of HobbyZone’s Zone 1 or 2 airplanes or

any other radio controlled aircraft, we recommend you seek the help

of an experienced radio control pilot during your beginning flights.

Crash damage is not covered under the warranty. Your Aerobird 3 is

equipped with the ZX10 radio system, which utilizes 10-bit, 1024-step

processing for high fidelity control. It uses a 6-channel FM receiver

with industry standard 3-wire servos, along with X-Port capability for

maximum expandability and reusability.

The Aerobird 3 is equipped with some exciting features, including a

Multi-Mode™Flight Control system. The controller onboard the plane

is programmed with two flight modes, Sport Mode (Low Rate) and

Be sure to read the warranty

on page 36 and "Warnings and

Safety" on page 33 before you

proceed to Step 1.

Pro Mode (High Rate). The default Sport Mode is great for pilots

transitioning from 2-channel planes and for those who want a more

relaxed flying experience.

The Pro Mode changes the Aerobird 3’s characteristics, and allows more

aggressive maneuvers for those who want it!

The Aerobird 3 is also equipped with HobbyZone’s exclusive X-Port™

feature. This allows the attachment of exciting accessories, including

the Sonic Combat Module™(HBZ4020) for air-to-air combat, and the

Aerial Drop Module™(HBZ6023), which allows items such as the

parachute jumper and streamer bombs to be dropped. See page 28

for more on the X-Port.

Be sure to read the warranty on page 36 and "Success Tips" on page

33 before you proceed to Step 1.

Step 1



1. Remove the transmitter back cover by

pushing down with your thumbs, as

indicated.

2. Install batteries. Use fresh 1.5V "AA"

and watch the polarity.

3. Replace the cover.

4. To test, switch on the transmitter—

the LED should glow brightly.

5. Replace the batteries when you hear

the low-battery alarm (beeping sound).

Needed for Step 1

8 "AA" Batteries (included)

Transmitter

2. Once you're satisfied that the wing is

centered, attach the wing using the 6

rubber bands provided. Stretch two of

the rubber bands from the front to the

rear attach points. Stretch the next two

diagonally across the middle. Stretch the

last two rubber bands from the front to

rear attach points as you did with the first

two. Once the rubber bands are in place,

confirm the wing is securely attached.

3. Before each flight, make sure the front

and trailing edges of the wing are exactly

centered on the fuselage.Rc

Step 2

Mounting the Landing Gear

1. Insert the landing gear into the slot on

bottom of the fuselage.

Note: When flying without X-Port™

modules and landing on grass, it is not

necessary to have the landing gear installed.

Attaching the Wing

1. Center the wing on the fuselage by

aligning the center dot on the wing with

the fuselage top seam and by centering

the half circle on the wing’s trailing edge

over the fuselage center.

Step 2

Wing and Landing Gear Attachment continued

Attaching the Tail Wheel

• Installation of the included tail wheel is

optional. If added, be extremely careful

to adjust the tail screws and tail to their

original positions.

Step 3

Motor Test 1. Be sure the throttle slider is in the Off

position.

2. Turn the transmitter on.

3. Install the battery in the fuselage slot and

plug in the connector.

4. The Aerobird 3™has a built-in throttle

arming feature, which needs to “see” the

throttle slider in the Off position before it

will spin the propeller. First, keep all

objects clear of the propeller at all times.

Ensure the throttle is in the Off position,

then advance the throttle forward and the

propeller will start to turn. Since most

batteries come partially charged, the

propeller should spin at high speed. The

throttle arming feature will need to be

activated each time the battery is

plugged into the airplane (If the motor

does not run, proceed to Step 4:

“Charging the Aircraft Battery”).

5. When finished with the motor test, be

sure to disconnect the battery first then

turn off the transmitter.

Adult Supervision Required

WARNING: Keep everything clear of the

propeller and hold the plane securely. A

moving propeller can cause severe injury.

Step 

Charging the Aircraft Battery

This charger uses a unique peak detection

circuitry that ensures an accurate charge

every time and protects your Ni-Cd and

Ni-MH batteries from the dangers of over-

charging. This charger continually monitors

the battery’s charge curve and automatically

stops charging when the peak charge is

detected. The peak detection charger will

help avoid damaging Ni-Cd and Ni-MH cells.

Important:

The Aerobird 3™battery should be charged

shortly before flying. If you charge the

battery 12 to 24 hours prior to flying, you

will need to “re-peak” the battery before

you fly by repeating the steps on page 9.

DC Peak Detect Charger Features:

• Variable charge rate from 0.3- to 1.2-amp.

• Trickle charge

• Automobile 12V power outlet DC adapter

• HobbyZone®large battery pack connector

• Charges Ni-Cd and Ni-MH battery packs

• LED charge indicator

Step 

Charging the Aircraft Battery (continued)

Charging HobbyZone Ni-MH Battery

Packs

1. Using the dial indicator on the side of the

charger, set the charge rate as indicated

in the chart below.

2. Connect the battery pack to the charger.

3. Connect the charger to the 12V power

outlet in your automobile. The LED will

continually blink slowly while the battery

charges.

4. Charging is finished when the LED

indicator glows steadily

Note: If you purchase the connector adapter

(HBZ1027), you can use your peak charger

to charge other HobbyZone airplane and

boat batteries. Use the charge rates from

the chart at the left.

Note: Damage to the charger and battery

pack will occur if you exceed the maximum

charge rates recommended in the chart.

Safety Precautions

Do not leave the battery and charger

unattended while in use. While charging,

place the battery on a heat resistant surface

and constantly monitor the temperature of

the battery pack. Do not allow children to

charge batteries unless they are supervised

by a responsible adult.

Step 5

Tail Control Test

1. Be sure the throttle slider is in the

Off position.

2. Switch on the transmitter—check to make

sure the LED is lit, indicating the trans-

mitter has power.

3. Install battery in fuselage and plug in

connector.

4. Move the stick side to side. The tail

control surfaces should move as shown

on the following page.

5. Move the stick up and down. The tail

control surfaces should move as shown

on the following page.

6. The small levers under and to the side

of the control stick are the trim levers

and are used to adjust the “neutral”

point of your control stick. It’s very

important that this lever is centered

when performing these control tests.

7. If each control surface is not level with the

rest of the tail surface when the trim levers

are centered, adjust the control surfaces

so they are level (see page 12).

Warning: Keep everything clear of the

propeller before starting the control test

in the event that you accidentally turn on

the motor.
