USER MANUAL MISTRAL 2.0 ROBBE

The Ground Truth image displays a single, solid horizontal line. According to Rule 2 (UNDERSCORE & LINE RULES), this is a stylistic or background line, not a placeholder underscore. Therefore, the OCR result must ignore it and output nothing or only meaningful text. The provided OCR content is "____", which consists of four underscores. This is an incorrect interpretation of the line as a placeholder, violating the rule that stylistic lines must be ignored. The OCR has hallucinated underscores where none should exist based on the GT's visual context. Hence, the OCR result is inconsistent with the Ground Truth.

GENERAL INFORMATION

• The model is designed for the components specified by us. Unless otherwise stated, servos and other electronic components are designed for standard supply voltage. Recommended cell count for Lipo batteries also refers to standard Lipos voltage of 3.7V per cell. If you use other servos, a different motor and controller, batteries, or propellers, please make sure they fit first. In the event of deviations, corrections and adjustments must be made by yourself.
- Before starting construction, always put the servos into neutral. To do this, switch on the remote control and move the joysticks and trim buttons (save the one for the throttle) to the middle position. Connect the servos to the corresponding outputs of the receiver and supply them with a suitable power source. Please observe the connection diagram and the operating instructions of the remote control system manufacturer.
- Do not leave your model in the blazing sun or in your vehicle for long periods of time. Too high temperatures can lead to deformation/distortion of plastic parts or blistering of covering foils.
- Before the first flight, check the wing symmetry, tail unit and fuselage. All parts of the model should have the same spacing from the left and right wing or tail plane to the centre of the fuselage or the same angle.
- If necessary, rebalance the propellers if vibrations are noticeable when the motor is running up.
- Bubble formation in the covering foils normal to a certain extent due to temperature and humidity differences and can be easily eliminated with a foil iron or hairdryer.
- For models in shell construction („full GFRP/CFRP“), burrs may occur at the seams due to the production process. Carefully remove them with fine sandpaper or a file.

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

• Be sure to read the safety instructions carefully before operating your model.
  • Always follow the procedures and settings recommended in the instructions.
• If you are using remote-controlled model aircraft, helicopters, cars or ships for the first time, we recommend that you ask an experienced model pilot for help.
• Remote-controlled models are not toys in the usual sense and may only be used and operated by young people under 14 years of age under the supervision of adults.
• Their construction and operation requires technical understanding, careful craftsmanship and safety-conscious behaviour.
• Mistakes or negligence during construction, flying or driving can result in considerable damage to property or personal injury.
• Since the manufacturer and seller have no influence on the proper construction/assembly and operation of the models, these risks are expressly pointed out and any liability is excluded.
• Propellers on aircraft and all moving parts in general pose a constant risk of injury. Avoid touching such parts at all costs.

ASSEMBLY THE FUSELAGE

01

Install the elevator with the enclosed M3x10 screws on the fuselage and insert the elevator linkage into the drillhole of the rudderhorn. Make sure to carefully tighten the screws, without putting too much pressure on the surface.

02

Check the length of the elevator linkage and, if needed, adjust it by adjusting the length of the clevis rods. The rudder should be placed in neutral position during a 90°position of the servohorn.

03

Use the cover to seal the servoshaft. In order to glue the cover to the frame of the shaft use UHU Por or double-sided tape.

04

Twist one clevis onto the thread of the rudder's rod. Again, please make sure that the rudder is placed in neutral position during a 90°position of the servohorn. Correct the length of the clevis rods, if needed.

05

Now connect the ESC (electronic speed controller) to the three motor wires and to the designated output of the receiver. Check the correct running direction of the motor (clockwise rotation in flight direction). If the motor is running in the wrong direction, only change two of the three motor wires. Use velcro tape or fixing foam to mount the ESC on the bottom side of the fuselage behind the battery board. If necessary, secure the wire leads so that they can't get into the motor.

06

Install the enclosed aluminum clamping cone to the motor shaft. Tighten the screw nut carefully because of the aluminum thread. Use 3mm bolts and lock rings to fix the blades on the center part. Install the spinner.

07

Plug all servo cables into the designated outputs of your receiver (dependent on the manufacturer). The servo leads of the aileron are marked with shrinkable tubing. The excessive lengths of the leads can be stashed away in the back of the fuselage.

08

Use velcro tape on the bottom of the fuse-lage or fixing foam to fix the receiver and all wire leads behind the wing screws.

ASSEMBLY THE WING

09

Connect the aileron rods to the rudder- and servo horns (outer servo). Make sure that the rudder is placed in neutral position during right-angled position of the servohorn. If needed, adjust the rods.

ARF: Install the servo in the servo opening. We recommend the use of a designated servo frame. Use a wire to route the servocable through the servo openings. The green 6-pole MPX plugsystem is used to connect the fuselage.

10

The linkage of the flaps is realized by a cross-over connection through the surface of the wing. Therefore the rod must initially be connected to the bottom side of the flap servo and routed through the upper side of the wing in order to be connected with the flap's rudder horn. If the servo horn is positioned in a right-angle (neutral position), the deflection of the flap should read approximately 15mm downwards.

11

ARF: Install the servo in the servo opening. We recommend the use of a designated servo frame. Use a wire to route the servocable through the servo openings. The green 6-pole MPX plugsystem is used to connect the fuselage.

12

Pay attention to a proper cable guide. Stash the excessive length of the leads away in the cable conduits.

13

Hint: A mechanically well adjusted model is quite important. Therefore make sure that you take your time, adjusting your model.

14

Use epoxy to glue the aluminum pressing disk into the drill holes on the upper side of the wing. Remove the plastic sheet beforehand. Then use the wing screws to fix the wing. Glue the 3mm torsional pin into the root rib of the right part of the wing (slightly roughen and degrease the adherend at first).

Hint: The wing connector can also be glued into this part of the wing. This way you can prevent the loss or neglect of the connector even though the pack size increases slightly.

15

Use epoxy to glue both 3mm torsional pins into the front drill holes of the wings (slightly roughen and degrease the adherend at first).

16

After all electrical adjustments are finished and the rods are finely adjusted; use UHU-Por to glue the servo opening covers and rod covers.

INSTALLATION AND TUNING PROCESS

17

Insert both parts of the wing onto the wing connector and connect the plugs of the wing servos. Use M3x20 countersunk screws to connect the wing with the fuselage.

18

Make sure that no wires are stuck between the fuselage and the wing.

20

Turn your transmitter and receiver on. Make sure that the correct model is adjusted on the memory of your transmitter. If possible, try to adjust all rods mechanically.

21

The next step is to check the running direction and ways of the servos. Therefore please note the grid below.

CONTROL THROWS

	Normal Thermal Speed	d Landing Start	/Motor
Ailerons ▲ 12 mm▼ 6 mm, 20% Expo
Elevator ▲ 10 mm▼ 8 mm, 25% Expo	▼ 2 mm	▲ 1-2 mm	▼ 4 mm▼	2 mm
Rudder ◀ 20 mm▶ 20 mm
Flaps		▼ 5 mm	▲ 2 mm	▼ 15 mm

CENTER OF GRAVITY

The center of gravity is set at 67-72mm behind the leading edge. It is recommended that beginners set the center of gravity at 67mm. More experienced users can set it further to the back, in order to achieve a more dynamic flight envelope.

FLIGHT RECOMMENDATIONS

Choose a calm day for your first flight and take your time adjusting the model to your needs. Ask a buddy to throw the model horizontally in the air or use a glider dolly. Pull the elevator gently after gaining sufficient speed to climb. We wish you many nice and relaxing flights with your new Mistral 2.0 from Robbe.
