Persediaan dan Penyediaan Penerbangan Pertama

1. Charge Flight Batteries: Use the included USB LiPo Battery Charger to fully charge both 400mAh 1S 3.7V LiPo batteries. Refer to the charger's instructions for proper charging procedures. Ensure batteries are charged in a safe environment, away from flammable materials.
2. Pasang Bateri Pemancar: Open the battery compartment on the back of the 5-Channel 2.4GHz Controller/Transmitter and insert the four included AA alkaline batteries, observing correct polarity.
3. Aircraft Inspection: Before each flight, visually inspect the aircraft for any damage. Check that the propeller is securely attached and free from cracks. Ensure all control surfaces (ailerons, rudder, elevator) move freely and correctly.
4. Battery Installation in Aircraft: Carefully open the battery hatch on the XCub. Connect a fully charged LiPo battery to the aircraft's ESC/receiver unit. Secure the battery within the compartment to prevent shifting during flight.
5. Pengikatan (jika perlu): Your RTF model should come pre-bound. If re-binding is required, consult the full product manual for specific instructions on binding the transmitter to the receiver.
6. Semakan Permukaan Kawalan: With the aircraft powered on and the transmitter on, verify that all control surfaces respond correctly to transmitter inputs. Move the sticks and observe the ailerons, elevator, and rudder. Ensure they move in the correct direction relative to your stick movements.
7. SAFE Technology Activation: The SAFE technology is designed to assist beginners. Ensure it is active for your initial flights. The transmitter typically has a switch to toggle between beginner, intermediate, and expert modes. Start in beginner mode.

Arahan Operasi

Flight Modes (SAFE Technology)

The HobbyZone XCub 450mm features SAFE (Sensor Assisted Flight Envelope) technology, offering multiple flight modes to assist pilots of varying skill levels:

• Mod Pemula: Provides self-leveling and limits pitch and bank angles, preventing overcontrol and making it easier to learn. This mode is highly recommended for first flights.
• Mod Pertengahan: Offers more control authority and increased pitch/bank limits, but still retains some self-leveling capabilities.
• Mod Pakar: Full control with no angle limits or self-leveling, allowing for advanced maneuvers. Only use this mode once you are fully comfortable with the aircraft's handling.

Berlepas

1. Place the aircraft on a smooth, flat surface facing into the wind.
2. Advance the throttle smoothly. The aircraft will gain speed.
3. As it gains sufficient speed, gently apply a small amount of up elevator to lift off.
4. Maintain a steady climb to a safe altitude before attempting turns.

Kawalan Penerbangan

• Pendikit (Lekat Kiri Atas/Bawah): Controls motor speed and altitude.
• Kemudi (Tongkat Kiri Kiri/Kanan): Controls yaw (nose left/right).
• Lif (Tongkat Kanan Atas/Bawah): Controls pitch (nose up/down).
• Ailerons (Right Stick Left/Right): Controls roll (wing tilt).

Mendarat

1. Approach the landing area into the wind, gradually reducing throttle.
2. Maintain a controlled descent using elevator and throttle.
3. As the aircraft nears the ground, gently flare by applying a small amount of up elevator to slow down and touch down smoothly on the main landing gear.
4. Cut throttle completely once on the ground and steer with the rudder until stopped.

Penyelenggaraan

• Pemeriksaan Selepas Penerbangan: After each flight, check the airframe for any damage, loose connections, or debris.
• Pemeriksaan baling-baling: Inspect the propeller for nicks, cracks, or bends. Replace damaged propellers immediately using the spare provided. The "pop off" prop saver design helps prevent propeller damage during minor impacts.
• Penjagaan Bateri: Store LiPo batteries at a storage charge (approximately 3.8V per cell) if not used for extended periods. Never fully discharge or overcharge LiPo batteries.
• Pembersihan: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the aircraft. Avoid using solvents or harsh chemicals.
• Hubungan Kawalan: Ensure all control linkages are free-moving and securely attached to their respective control horns and servos.
