Charging Warnings

The USB battery charger (EFLC1008) included with your aircraft has been designed to safely charge the Li-Po battery.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Charging Warnings - 1

CAUTION: All instructions and warnings must be followed exactly. Mishandling of batteries can result in a fire, personal injury or property damage.

  • NEVER LEAVE CHARGING BATTERIES UNATTENDED.
    • NEVER CHARGE BATTERIES OVERNIGHT.
  • By handling, charging or using the included Li-Po battery, you assume all risks associated with lithium batteries.
  • If at any time the battery begins to balloon or swell, discontinue use immediately. If charging or discharging, discontinue and disconnect. Continuing to use, charge or discharge a battery that is ballooning or swelling can result in fi re.
  • Always store the battery at room temperature in a dry area for best results.
  • Always transport or temporarily store the battery in a temperature range of 40–120°F (5–49°C). Do not store the battery or model in a car or direct sunlight. If stored in a hot car, the battery can be damaged or even catch fire.

Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC)

When a Li-Po battery is discharged below 3V per cell, it will not hold a charge. The aircraft's ESC protects the fl light battery from over-discharge using Low Voltage Cutoff (LVC). Before the battery charge decreases too much, LVC removes power supplied to the motor. Power to the motor quickly decreases and increases, showing that some battery power is reserved for fl light control and safe landing.

When the motor power pulses, land the aircraft immediately and recharge the flight battery.

  • Always charge batteries away from fl ammable materials.
    • Always inspect the battery before charging.
  • Always disconnect the battery after charging, and let the charger cool between charges.
  • Always constantly monitor the temperature of the battery pack while charging.
  • ONLY USE A CHARGER SPECIFICALLY DESIGNED TO CHARGE LI-PO BATTERIES. Failure to charge the battery with a compatible charger may cause a fi re resulting in personal injury and/or property damage.
  • Never discharge Li-Po cells to below 3V under load.
  • Never cover warning labels with hook and loop strips.
  • Never charge batteries outside recommended levels.
  • Never charge damaged batteries.
  • Never attempt to dismantle or alter the charger.
  • Never allow minors to charge battery packs.
  • Never charge batteries in extremely hot or cold places (recommended between 40–120° F or (5–49° C) or place in direct sunlight.

Disconnect and remove the Li-Po battery from the aircraft after use to prevent trickle discharge. Fully charge your Li-Po battery before storing it. During storage, make sure the battery charge does not fall below 3V per cell.

For your first lights, set your transmitter timer or a stopwatch to 5 minutes. Adjust your timer for longer or shorter lights once you have flown the model. Flights of 6 minutes or more are achievable if using proper throttle management.

NOTICE: Repeated fl ying to LVC will damage the battery.

Charging the Battery

NOTICE: Charge only batteries that are cool to the touch and are not damaged. Look at the battery to make sure it is not damaged e.g., swollen, bent, broken or punctured.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Charging the Battery - 1

CAUTION: Only use chargers specifi cally designed to charge the included Li-Po battery. Failure to do so could result in fi re, g injury or property damage.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Charging the Battery - 2

CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.

  1. Insert the charger into a USB port. The charger only uses power from the USB port, it will not connect to your computer. USB power supplies, such as those used to charge cellular phones, can also be used.
  2. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger and press it into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the slot. The end cap of the battery is specifically designed to allow the battery to fit into the slot one way (usually with the label on the battery facing outward) to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity.

  3. Always disconnect the flight battery from the charger immediately upon completion of charging.

  4. Remove the charger from the power supply.

LED Indications

When you make the connection successfully, the LED on the charger turns solid red, indicating charging has begun. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 70mAh battery takes approximately 30–40 minutes. The light goes out when the charge is complete.

Digital Trims

The E-Flite® 4-channel DSM2®/DSMX® transmitter features digital trim buttons on all controls to make fi ne adjustments. The digital trims are used to fi ne-tune the model's fl ight path when in fl ight.

Before the first flight, center the control surfaces mechanically (see Control Centering).

When pressed down, trim buttons make a sound that increases or decreases in pitch at each pressing. The middle or neutral trim position is heard as a middle tone in the pitch range of the sounds. The end of the control range is sounded by a series of beeps.

Dual Rate Function

This transmitter's dual rate feature lets you change between high and low control rates for the elevator and rudder.

  • When powered ON, this transmitter is automatically set to high-rate mode.
  • Change rate modes by pushing the right-hand control stick vertically into the case (until it clicks) while the transmitter is powered on.
  • High-rate mode is shown by the transmitter's LED glowing solid red. In high-rate mode, the controls can reach their maximum values. This mode is typically preferred by experienced pilots for maximum control authority.
  • Low-rate mode is shown by the transmitter's LED blinking continuously. In low-rate mode, the controls are reduced to approximately 70% of their maximum values. This mode is typically preferred by (and best for) beginner pilots or others interested in smoother and more easily controlled flight.

Control Direction Test

Bind your aircraft and transmitter before doing these tests. Move the controls on the transmitter to make sure aircraft control surfaces move correctly. Always keep throttle at the low position during testing.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Control Direction Test - 1

Reverse Controls

NOTICE: The Vapor® Lite HP RTF should not require any servo reversing. Should the Vapor® Lite HP electronic components be used in another aircraft, you may find it necessary to reverse the operation of the flight control surfaces.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Reverse Controls - 1

text_image D C B A ON POWER OFF

A Rudder Reversed
B Rudder Normal
C Elevator Reversed
D Elevator Normal

The transmitter included with the aircraft is the same transmitter included in other E-Flite® and ParkZone® Ultra Micro RTF models.

  1. Ensure the battery is disconnected from the aircraft and the transmitter is turned OFF.
  2. Press and hold the digital trim button for the surface you would like to reverse.
  3. While holding the digital trim button, turn the transmitter ON.

  4. Hold the digital trim buttons down for approximately 5 seconds until you hear a tone confirming the selection.

  5. Connect the flight battery and complete the flight control test. Confirm all surfaces operate in the correct direction.

Control Centering

Before first lights, or in the event of an accident, make sure the light control surfaces are centered. Adjust the linkages mechanically if the control surfaces are not centered.

Use of the transmitter trims may not correctly center the aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical limits of linear servos.

  1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral when the transmitter controls and trims are centered. The transmitter sub-trim must be set to zero.
  2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully bend the metal of the linkage (see illustration).
  3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to make the linkage longer.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Control Centering - 1

natural_image Diagram of a mechanical clamp or tool with a connecting rod and bracket (no text or symbols)

NOTICE: When using a programmable transmitter, do not use Sub-Trim to adjust the center position of the servo.

NOTICE: Never set Travel Adjust above 100%. Ultra Micro servos are unique in that they are calibrated to reach maximum travel at 100% travel adjust. Increasing the value above 100% will NOT result in more travel, but can cause the servo to lock and will result in a crash.

Settings for Control Horns

The illustration shows factory settings for linkages on the control horns. After flying, if you want to modify control throw, carefully adjust the linkage positions for desired control response.

E-flite EFLU6800 - Settings for Control Horns - 1

text_image Elevator Rudder

Control Rates

We recommend using a DSM2/DSMX aircraft transmitter capable of dual rates. Adjust according to individual preferences after initial flight.

It is normal for linear servos to make noise. Noise is not an indication of a faulty servo.

To achieve the proper Low Rate settings when using a programmable DSM aircraft transmitter, set the low rate value to 70% for elevator and rudder.

High Rate Low Rate
Elevator 100% 70%
Rudder 100% 70%

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is 50mm back from the leading edge of the center of the wing.

This CG location has been determined with the included 1S 70mAh 3.7V Li-Po battery installed in the battery holder.

Balance the model on the edge of a metal ruler to find the Center of Gravity. Place the ruler on the underside side of the airframe.

Flying Tips and Repairs

We recommend fl ying your aircraft indoors with a fl oor area of 15 ft x 15 ft and a minimum ceiling height of 8 ft; a living room or offi ce is ideal. We suggest fi rst fl ights take place in a larger area, like a garage or basement.

We do not recommend fl ying outdoors unless the conditions are absolutely calm. The aircraft is extremely light and can be easily blown away.

Hand Launching

Hold the aircraft at shoulder height with one hand. While holding your transmitter in your other hand, increase the throttle to half. Launch the aircraft using light force. Keep the wings level and do not throw it up or down. Point it level with the ground when releasing. Do not grasp the pushrods while launching, as this may result in damage to the servos.

Runway Takeoff

Place the aircraft in position for takeoff. Gradually increase the throttle to full and steer with the rudder. Pull back gently with the elevator and climb to check trim. Once the trim is adjusted, begin exploring the flight envelope.

Flying

After takeoff, the aircraft will climb at 3/4 to full throttle. The UMX™ Vapor® Lite HP aircraft is

designed for a slow and relaxing flight experience. Fly at a slow, controlled speed appropriate for the size of the location.

Landing

Fly the aircraft to approximately 6 inches (15cm) or less above the landing surface. Reduce the throttle and the aircraft should glide in softly for a landing.

Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions during a crash could result in damage to the ESC in the receiver unit, which may require replacement.

NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Repairs

Repair the aircraft using clear tape. When parts are not repairable, see the Replacement Parts List for ordering by item number.

For a listing of all replacement and optional parts, refer to the list at the back of this manual.
