APC EP Zero ARF User Manual download pdf (Page 3)

1. Your EP Zero ARF should not be considered a toy, but

rather a sophisticated, working model that functions very

much like a full-size airplane. Because of its performance

capabilities, the EP Zero ARF, if not assembled and

operated correctly, could possibly cause injury to yourself or

spectators and damage to property.

2. You must assemble the model according to the

instructions. Do not alter or modify the model, as doing so

may result in an unsafe or unflyable model. In a few cases

the instructions may differ slightly from the photos. In those

instances the written instructions should be considered

as correct.

3.You must take time to build straight, true and strong.

4. You must use an R/C radio system that is in first-class

condition, and a correctly sized motor and components

(ESC, wheels, etc.) throughout the building process.

5.You must correctly install all R/C and other components so

that the model operates correctly on the ground and in the air.

6.You must check the operation of the model before every

flight to insure that all equipment is operating and that the

model has remained structurally sound. Be sure to check

clevises or other connectors often and replace them if they

show any signs of wear or fatigue.

7. If you are not an experienced pilot or have not flown this

type of model before, we recommend that you get the

assistance of an experienced pilot in your R/C club for your

first flights.If you’re not a member of a club, your local hobby

shop has information about clubs in your area whose

membership includes experienced pilots.

8.While this kit has been flight tested to exceed normal use,

if the plane will be used for extremely high-stress flying,

such as racing, or if an motor larger than one in the

recommended range is used, the modeler is responsible for

taking steps to reinforce the high-stress points and/or

substituting hardware more suitable for the increased stress.

Remember:Take your time and follow the instructions to

end up with a well-built model that is straight and true.

WARNING!! Failure to follow all instructions could cause

permanent damage to the battery and its surroundings, and

cause bodily harm!

• ONLY use a LiPo approved charger. NEVER use a

NiCd/NiMH peak charger!

• NEVER charge in excess of 4.20V per cell.

• ONLY charge through the “charge” lead. NEVER charge

through the “discharge” lead.

• NEVER charge at currents greater than 1C.

• ALWAYS set charger’s output volts to match battery volts.

• ALWAYS charge in a fireproof location.

• NEVER trickle charge.

• NEVER allow the battery temperature to exceed

50°F (65°C).

• NEVER disassemble or modify pack wiring in any way or

puncture cells.

• NEVER discharge below 2.5V per cell.

• NEVER place on combustible materials or leave

unattended during charge or discharge.

• ALWAYS KEEP OUT OF REACH OF CHILDREN.

In the hands of a capable pilot the EP Zero ARF is an

impressive 3D performer. But for the EP Zero ARF to

perform to its full potential, it must be properly equipped with

all the right gear (servos, batteries, receiver, and speed

control). There may be more than one type and brand of

radio equipment that can be used, but based on extensive

testing, following is the equipment we recommend so you

can get the most performance out of your EP Zero ARF and

assemble it as shown in this instruction manual.

With a standard, four-channel radio the EP Zero ARF is

capable of all the basic 3D maneuvers. However, some

advanced pilots who are already familiar with handling

“foamies” may prefer to fly the EP Zero ARF with a computer

radio capable of endpoint adjustments (for fine-tuning

control throws), exponentials (for “softening” the throws near

the center of the travel), and various mixing functions (such

as rudder-to-elevator mixing for extended knife-edge flight).

The EP Zero ARF requires three

micro

servos with a minimum

torque rating of 15 oz-in. Futaba

S-3108 micro servos

(FUTM0042) are ideal because they meet the torque and weight

requirements. Although there may be other servos that will

physically fit in the model, those outside the recommended

Servos

DECISIONS YOU MUST MAKE

LITHIUM BATTERY HANDLING & USAGE

We, as the kit manufacturer, provide you with a top quality,

thoroughly tested kit and instructions, but ultimately the

quality and flyability of your finished model depends on

how you build it; therefore, we cannot in any way

guarantee the performance of your completed model, and

no representations are expressed or implied as to the

performance or safety of your completed model.
