2. Меры предосторожности

Operating remote-controlled aircraft requires adherence to strict safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage. Always prioritize safety during assembly, operation, and maintenance.

Общая безопасность:

• Always operate your RC plane in open areas, away from people, buildings, and obstacles.
• Никогда не летайте вблизи аэропортов или запрещенного воздушного пространства.
• Ensure your batteries are fully charged and properly secured before each flight.
• Perform pre-flight checks thoroughly before every takeoff.
• Не летайте при сильном ветре или неблагоприятных погодных условиях.
• Держите зрителей на безопасном расстоянии.

Battery Safety (LiPo):

• Use only recommended LiPo batteries (4S 2200-3300mAh).
• Charge LiPo batteries with a compatible LiPo charger only.
• Никогда не допускайте перезарядки или чрезмерной разрядки литий-полимерных аккумуляторов.
• Store LiPo batteries in a fire-safe container and away from flammable materials.
• Перед каждым использованием проверяйте батареи на наличие повреждений. Прекратите использование, если батареи повреждены.

3 Сборка

The Tasman 1500mm is a Plug-N-Play (PNP) model, meaning the motor, ESC, and servos are pre-installed. Minimal assembly is required to get your aircraft ready for flight.

Необходимые инструменты (не входят в комплект):

• Маленькая крестовая отвертка
• Hobby knife or sharp blade
• Foam-safe adhesive (e.g., CA glue with activator, epoxy)

Этапы сборки:

1. Установка крыла: Carefully slide the main wing onto the fuselage. Ensure the wing spars align and fully insert into their respective slots. Secure the wing using the provided screws. Connect the aileron and flap servo leads to the appropriate extensions in the fuselage.
2. Horizontal Stabilizer and Elevator Installation: Attach the horizontal stabilizer to the rear of the fuselage. Connect the elevator pushrod to the control horn. Ensure free movement of the elevator.
3. Vertical Stabilizer and Rudder Installation: Mount the vertical stabilizer onto the fuselage. Connect the rudder pushrod to the control horn. Verify smooth operation.
4. Landing Gear Assembly: The main landing gear with oversized air-filled tires should be pre-installed. Ensure they are securely fastened. The tail wheel assembly also needs to be checked for proper attachment and steering linkage.
5. Propeller and Spinner Installation: Attach the propeller and spinner to the motor shaft according to the instructions provided with the propeller. Ensure the propeller is balanced and installed in the correct orientation for thrust.

4. Предполетные проверки

Before every flight, perform the following checks to ensure the safety and proper operation of your Tasman 1500mm.

Проверка рулевых поверхностей:

• Turn on your transmitter first, then connect the flight battery to the aircraft.
• Убедитесь, что все управляющие поверхности (элероны, руль высоты, руль направления, закрылки) свободно перемещаются и движутся в правильном направлении относительно сигналов вашего передатчика.
• Check for any binding or excessive play in the linkages.

Center of Gravity (CG) Setup:

Proper CG is crucial for stable flight. Refer to the diagram below for the recommended CG location. Adjust battery position within the compartment to achieve the correct balance.

5. Инструкция по эксплуатации

The Tasman 1500mm is designed for stable and enjoyable flight, with capabilities ranging from gentle cruising to aggressive 3D maneuvers.

Снимать:

• Place the aircraft on a flat surface, facing into the wind if possible.
• Apply throttle smoothly. The large air-filled tires provide excellent traction on various surfaces.
• As speed increases, gently apply up-elevator to lift off. The functional flaps can be deployed for shorter takeoffs.

Полет:

• The Tasman offers stable flight characteristics, making it forgiving for new pilots.
• For advanced maneuvers, utilize the large control surfaces and powerful 4S-compatible outrunner motor.
• The LED navigation lights enhance visibility, especially during dawn or dusk flights.

Посадка:

• Approach the landing strip into the wind.
• Gradually reduce throttle and deploy flaps as needed to control descent speed.
• Maintain a slight nose-up attitude for a smooth touchdown on the main landing gear, then gently lower the tail.
• The oversized air-filled tires absorb impacts, allowing for landings on rougher terrain.

6. Техническое обслуживание

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Tasman 1500mm.

Общий уход:

• Clean the aircraft after each flight, removing dirt, grass, or debris.
• Inspect all control surfaces, linkages, and hinges for wear or damage.
• Проверьте затяжку всех винтов и крепежных элементов.

Air-Filled Tires:

The unique air-filled tires may require occasional pressure checks. Use a small pump suitable for RC tires to maintain optimal inflation for cushioning and rebound.
