Important note
This model is not made of Styrofoam™, and it is not possible to glue the material using white glue, polyurethane or
epoxy; these adhesives only produce superficial joints, and simply break away under stress. Please be sure to use
medium-viscosity cyano-acrylate glue exclusively, preferably Zacki ELAPOR® # 59 2727, which is optimised specifically
for ELAPOR® particle foam. If you se Zacki ELAPOR® there is usually no need for cyano 'kicker' or activator. However,
if you wish to use a different adhesive which requires the use of activator, please note that these materials are injurious
to health, and should always be applied in the open air. Take care when handling all cyano-acrylate adhesives, as they
harden in seconds, so don't get them on your fingers or other parts of the body. We strongly recommend the use of
goggles to protect your eyes. Keep the adhesive out of the reach of children! For certain joints it is also possible to use
hot-melt adhesive; the instructions indicate where this is the case.
Working with Zacki ELAPOR®
Zacki ELAPOR® has been developed specifically for glued joints in our models which consist of moulded ELAPOR®
foam parts.
Please observe the following points in order to obtain perfect joints:
• We advise leaving joined parts for 24 hours to obtain maximum strength, particularly when the glued area is large.
• Activator should only be used for temporary, small-area joints ('tacking'). Spray a little activator on one surface, and
allow it to air-dry for about thirty seconds.
• To obtain maximum joint strength you should lightly sand the surface with 320-grit abrasive paper before applying glue.
• The adhesive will harden more quickly if you moisten one surface very slightly; in most cases activator (kicker) is then
not required. All you have to do is moisten the mating surface very lightly with a damp cloth or sponge.
Bent parts - actually don't exist. If you find that a component has taken up a curve, perhaps after being transported,
it is easy to straighten again. In this respect ELAPOR® behaves in a similar way to metal: bend the component
back slightly beyond the correct position, and the material will then spring back to its proper shape when released,
and maintain it. There are limits, however - don't overdo it!
Bent parts - really do exist. If you wish to paint your model, apply MPX Primer # 60 2700 to the surfaces, wiping it on
very lightly as if you were cleaning the model. Paint must always be applied thinly and evenly, otherwise the component
will warp. Then you really will have bent parts, and they will also be heavy and perhaps even unusable. We have found
that matt-finish paints produce the best visual effect.
We recommend using our "ELAPOR® Color" range of spray cans #60 2701 - # 60 2712 (surfaces must be given a coat
of MULTIPrimer # 60 2700 beforehand).
1. Unpack the transmitter and model
Store the documents safely.
Mode 1/3 oder Mode 2/4
=> 7.8 Mode switching => SMART Operating instructions!
Check the contents of your RTF set. You will find Figs. 1
and the Parts List helpful at this stage.
2. Insert the batteries
It is essential to maintain correct polarity. Reversed polari-
ty may ruin the transmitter and / or the cells.

When switching on
Always switch the transmitter on before connecting the
flight battery or switching the receiving system on.
When switching off
Always disconnect the flight battery or switch the receiving
system off before switching the transmitter off.
The presence of the M-LINK ID receiver en-
ables the SMART SX to detect the specific
model, and automatically activate the asso-
ciated settings from its enormous reserve of
model memories:
3. Installing the drive battery
The positioning of the battery has a minor but useful effect
on the model's Centre of Gravity. Final balancing is carried
out later by fitting trim ballast (metal balls) in the holes in
the fin.
Caution: the circular stickers 2.1 (4x) are used later to seal
the ballast chambers once you have set the correct Centre
of Gravity - so don't throw them away!
The Li-BATT FX 2/1-950 flight battery can be fixed to the
fuselage side at the front, using hook-and-loop tape.
Fig. 3
Note: since the "grip" of the hook-and-loop tape is greater
than the adhesion between the sticky coating and the foam
surface, we recommend gluing the tape in place using hot-
melt adhesive or Zacki ELAPOR® (cyano-acrylate).
Binding
The first time you make the connection between transmitter
and receiver the two components must be 'bound'. For
safety's sake remove the propeller before doing this. When
binding is complete, the receiving system immediately starts
operating.
