ROBBE Arcus E 2.2 ARF Manual De Construcción Y De Uso página 2

Dear customer,
Congratulations on your choice of a model aircraft from the
robbe
Modellsport range. Many thanks for placing your trust in us.
The model can be ready for the air when you have completed
just a few simple procedures. Please
read right through these instructions and the separate in-
formation sheets before attempting to assemble and fly the
model, as this will make it much easier to complete the tasks
required.
Please study the illustrations and the brief instructions to
obtain a clear understanding of the individual stages of con-
struction.
All directions, such as "right-hand", are as seen from the tail
of the model,
looking forward.
We constantly strive to update our products to reflect the la-
test developments. You can find details of technical improve-
ments and revised documentation on the Internet by calling
up the appropriate product description at our website: www.

The full-size
The self-launching Arcus E is the first two-seat electric-po-
wered glider to enter series production.
The model
Our model of the Arcus E closes the gap between moulded
EPO foam gliders intended for beginners and the larger scale
gliders of wood or GRP construction.
The Arcus E 2.2 gives the advanced model glider pilot the
opportunity to exploit the numerous technical features of lar-
ge models - such as retractable power unit, airbrakes and
retractable wheel - in a low-cost model. At the same time this
elegant scale glider retains the advantage of the robust EPO
foam wing and fuselage.

Radio control system
2240 mm For this model you require a radio control system with at least
1020 mm six channels. We particularly recommend 2.4 GHz systems.
approx. 1100 g The receiving system is powered by the speed controller's
approx. 30.7 dm² integral BEC system.
approx. 35.8 g/dm² Before you check the model's working systems, set the con-
1:9 trol surfaces to neutral from the transmitter (transmitter sticks
and trims central).
When you wish to fly the model always move the throttle stick
to the "motor stopped" position before switching the transmit-
ter on. Only then connect the battery.
To switch off, first disconnect the flight pack from the speed
controller, and only then switch the transmitter off.

Power system
A brushless outrunner motor is factory-installed. The propel-
ler is already fitted.
The motor is connected to the speed controller, ready for use,
and the controller is correctly set up at the factory.
Prior to flying the model all you have to do is connect the LiPo
flight battery and the receiver, and check the servo travels -
especially the end-points - for the model's various auxiliary
working systems.
Read right through the safety notes for the LiPo battery,
and the instructions supplied with the battery charger,
before using these items for the first time.
