4. Muntatge i muntatge

As the CJ6 is an unassembled kit, careful assembly is required. You will need appropriate adhesives (foam-safe CA glue or UHU Por recommended) and basic modeling tools. Ensure you have all recommended electronic components before starting assembly.

Required Additional Components (Not Included in Kit):

  • Motor: 720 hollow cup or 8520 brushed motor (if not part of a combo)
  • Servos: 3x 1.7g servos (for ailerons, elevator, rudder)
  • Receptor: Compatible with your 4+ channel radio transmitter
  • Bateria: 3.7V 150-260 mAh LiPo battery
  • Electronic Speed Controller (ESC): Integrated into receiver or separate, compatible with motor and battery
  • Transmissor de ràdio: 4-channel or greater

Passos de muntatge (orientació general):

  1. Assemblea d'ala: Carefully join the wing halves (if applicable) and attach them to the fuselage. Ensure proper alignment.
  2. Tail Section: Attach the horizontal and vertical stabilizers to the rear of the fuselage. Verify they are perpendicular and level.
  3. Tren d'aterratge: Install the main landing gear and nose wheel. Ensure they are securely fastened and allow for smooth rotation.
  4. Instal·lació del motor: Mount the motor securely to the front of the fuselage. Attach the propeller to the motor shaft.
  5. Instal·lació de servos: Install the 1.7g servos into their designated positions for ailerons, elevator, and rudder. Connect the pushrods from the servos to the control horns on the respective control surfaces.
  6. Instal·lació electrònica: Place the receiver, ESC (if separate), and battery in the designated compartments within the fuselage. Ensure wiring is neat and secure, avoiding interference with moving parts.
  7. Configuració de la superfície de control: Connect the servos to the receiver according to your radio system's instructions. Power on the transmitter and receiver, then adjust pushrod lengths and servo throws to ensure all control surfaces move freely and in the correct direction (e.g., pulling back on the elevator stick should make the elevator move up).
  8. Centre de gravetat (CG): Balance the aircraft at the recommended Center of Gravity point (usually marked in the kit instructions or diagrams). Adjust battery position as needed to achieve the correct CG.

5. Instruccions de funcionament

Comprovacions prèvies al vol:

  • Bateria: Assegureu-vos que la bateria de vol estigui completament carregada i instal·lada correctament.
  • Superfícies de control: Check that all control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder) move freely and correctly in response to transmitter inputs.
  • Hèlix: Verify the propeller is securely attached and free from damage.
  • Medi ambient: Fly in an open area, away from people, buildings, and power lines. Avoid windy conditions, especially for a lightweight trainer.

Enlairament:

For hand-launching, hold the aircraft firmly, apply full throttle, and gently push it forward into the wind. For ground take-off, align the aircraft into the wind, apply throttle gradually, and use rudder for directional control. Once sufficient speed is gained, gently apply up-elevator to lift off.

Flight Controls (4-Channel):

  • Acceleració: Controla la velocitat del motor i l'altitud.
  • Alerons: Controls roll (banking left/right).
  • Ascensor: Controla el to (nas amunt/avall).
  • Timó: Controla el guinyat (nas esquerra/dreta).

Aterratge:

Approach the landing area into the wind. Reduce throttle and gradually decrease altitude. Use elevator to control descent rate and rudder/ailerons for directional control. Aim for a gentle touchdown on the main landing gear, then allow the nose wheel to settle.

6. Manteniment

  • Inspect Airframe: After each flight, check the foam airframe for any cracks, dents, or damage. Repair with foam-safe glue as needed.
  • Control Surfaces & Linkages: Ensure all control surfaces move freely and that pushrods and control horns are secure.
  • Motor & Propeller: Check the motor for any debris or loose connections. Inspect the propeller for chips or cracks; replace if damaged to prevent vibration.
  • Cura de la bateria: Emmagatzemeu les bateries LiPo a un volum d'emmagatzematgetage (around 3.8V per cell) if not used for extended periods. Do not overcharge or over-discharge.
  • Electrònica: Keep the electronics bay clean and free of dust or moisture.
