Battery Charging

See the Battery Warning and Guidelines section and familiarize yourself thoroughly with it before continuing.

Follow these steps to charge the Li-Po battery with the included charger.

1. Remove the cover on the bottom of the charger and install four of the included AA batteries, noting

proper polarity. Replace the cover after the AA batteries are installed.

2. Slide the battery into the slot on the charger. The end cap of the battery is speciﬁcally designed to

allow the battery to be slid into the slot easily one way (usually with the label on the battery facing

outward) to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, check for proper alignment and polarity

before proceeding to the next step.

3. Gently press the battery and its connector into the charge jack/connector located at the bottom of the

slot in the charger.

4. When you make the connection successfully, the LED light on the charger turns solid red, indicating

charging has begun.

5. Charging a fully discharged (not over-discharged) 70mAh battery takes approximately 30–40 minutes.

As the battery nears full charge, the LED begins to blink. When the battery is fully charged, the LED

light blinks approximately every 20 seconds or goes out entirely.

Note: The Li-Po battery included with your Night Vapor arrives partially charged, so the initial charge

may only take 15–20 minutes.

Note: You can expect to charge the Li-Po ﬂight battery 10–15 times before needing to replace the AA

batteries in the charger. Replacing the included batteries with alkaline batteries results in more

charge cycles.

Note: If the LED remains on for longer than 40 minutes while charging and/or 5 seconds after

removing the Li-Po ﬁght battery, replace the AA batteries in the charger.

CAUTION: Only use a charger speciﬁcally designed to charge a Li-Po battery. Failure to do so

could result in ﬁre causing injury or property damage.

CAUTION: Never exceed the recommended charge rate.

EN DE FR IT

Installing the Flight Battery in the Airplane

Once the Li-Po battery is fully charged, you can install it in the airplane. This is done by placing it into the

battery holder on the bottom of the fuselage. Make sure the plug faces the rear of the airplane.

Note: The battery holder can slide forward and backwards to allow for Center of Gravity adjustment.

Note: Always disconnect the Li-Po from the receiver of the airplane when not ﬂying. Failure to

do so will render the battery unusable.

Transmitter and Receiver Binding

Your Night Vapor RTF comes pre-bound to the included DSM2/DSMX transmitter. If you should need to re-

bind your airplane follow the simple directions below.

Setting the Airplane for Binding

1. Make sure the ﬂight battery is disconnected from the receiver unit and the transmitter is turned off.

2. Plug in the ﬂight battery into the airplane. When the LED on the receiver begins to ﬂash rapidly, then

immediately proceed to instruction for your transmitter below.

Note: Although the transmitter included in your Night Vapor is 4-channel capable, the airplane is a

3-channel aircraft with proportional throttle, elevator, and rudder control. For this reason, the

rudder control is on the right stick.

8

ENDEFRIT

Transmitter Specic Binding Instructions

MLP4DSM Transmitter

1. When you see the LED on the receiver begin to ﬂash rapidly, push the left stick on the transmitter

inward into the case (NOT pulling down on throttle stick) until you hear it click.

2. While pushing the stick in, power on the transmitter; release the stick once the transmitter is powered

on. The transmitter will beep and the LED on the face of the transmitter will pulse.

3. Once the transmitter stops beeping it will take a second or two to connect with the airplane.

Note: It can be difﬁcult at times to see the LED blink (indicating you are in bind mode), therefore slowly

count to ﬁve once you have connected the battery and the airplane should enter bind mode at

that time.

Binding is the process of programming the receiver of the control unit to recognize the GUID (Globally

Unique Identiﬁer) code of a single speciﬁ c transmitter. You need to ‘bind’ your chosen Spektrum™ DSM2/

DSMX technology equipped aircraft transmitter to the receiver for proper operation.

Any full range JR or Spektrum DSM2/DSMX transmitter can bind to the receiver. Please visit

www.bindnﬂy.com for a complete list of compatible transmitters.

NOTICE: When using a Futaba

®

transmitter with a Spektrum DSM module, reversing the throttle channel is

required.

Additional Binding Information

Prior to each ﬂight, power on your transmitter and wait for ﬁve seconds before you plug the ﬂight battery

into the receiver. This allows time for the transmitter to scan and secure two open frequencies. If you plug

the ﬂight battery in too quickly and miss the link, the receiver may inadvertently enter bind mode. If this

occurs leave the transmitter on, then disconnect and reconnect the ﬂight battery.

LED Identication

The Night Vapor is equipped with six LED lights. Below is a description of what each individual light

looks like.

• There are 3 LED lights on the leading edge of the wing. These lights are a bright white color and

remain solid.

• There are 2 LED lights on the trailing edge of the wing. The light on the right side of the wing (looking

from the front) will blink red, and the one on the left (looking from the front) will blink green.

• There is 1 LED light located near the tail of the aircraft. This light blinks blue.

Control Test

You must test the controls prior to the ﬁrst ﬂight to ensure none of the servos, linkages, or parts were

damaged during shipping and handling and that the controls function in the correct directions.

Turn the transmitter on ﬁrst and lower the throttle stick and trim completely. Then, plug the battery into the

battery receiver unit.

Note: The connectors on the battery lead are keyed to prevent reverse polarity connection. However, if

you force them together in the wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity it is still possible to

damage the battery and/or receiver unit.

Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and back to check elevator pitch control. When the stick

is pushed forward the elevator should move down.

When the elevator stick is pulled back, the elevator should move up.

10

11

EN DE FR IT

Move the rudder stick left and right to check yaw control. When the stick is pushed to the right, the rudder

should also move right.

Note: On 3-channel aircraft, like the Vapor, the rudder is controlled by the stick usually used by the

ailerons on 4-channel aircraft.

With the rudder stick pushed to the left, the rudder should move left.

If at any time during the test the controls respond in the opposite direction of operation of the ﬂight controls,

follow your transmitter’s instructions to reverse the ﬂight controls.

Once you’ve conﬁrmed the ﬂight control directions, all controls should be functioning properly. However, if

you continue to encounter problems with your Night Vapor responding properly to the transmitter, do not ﬂy.

Digital Trims

The ParkZone 4-channel 2.4GHz DSM2/DSMX transmitter features digital trim buttons on all controls to

make ﬁne adjustments. Center the control surfaces using the trims. If there is not enough electronic trim

available, it may be necessary to adjust the loops in the control linkages to center the surfaces.

Reversing the Flight Controls

The transmitter included with the Night Vapor is the same transmitter included in the PKZ Ember 2, Vapor,

and Ultra Micro RTF versions. It also functions identically to the transmitter included with the E-ﬂite mCX

and mSR (MLP4DSM).

Attention: For reversing with other transmitters, please refer to that transmitter’s

instruction manual.

Should the Night Vapor’s electronic components be used in another aircraft, you may ﬁnd it necessary to

reverse the operation of ﬂight control surfaces.

Reversing the rudder and elevator operation can be accomplished by following the steps below.

1. Be certain the battery is unplugged from the aircraft and the transmitter turned off.

2. Push down on the digital trim button for the surface you would like to reverse.

a. Top elevator trim button—elevator normal

b. Bottom elevator trim button—elevator reverse

c. Left rudder trim button—rudder normal

12

ENDEFRIT

d. Right rudder trim button—rudder reverse

3. Continue holding the desired digital trim button down and turn the transmitter on.

4. Hold the digital trim buttons down for approximately ﬁve

seconds until tones are heard, conﬁrming the selection.

5. Connect the ﬂight battery and complete the ﬂight control test, conﬁrming all surfaces are operating in

the correct direction.

Control Centering

In the event of an accident or before your ﬁrst ﬂights, check to make sure the ﬂight control surfaces are

centered. It is much better to do this mechanically due to the mechanical limits of linear servos.

1. Make sure the transmitter trims are centered, and if your transmitter has them, sub-trims are set to 0.

2. Check to see if any of the ﬂight control surfaces are not centered.

3. If the surface is not centered, use a pair of pliers and carefully lengthen or shorten the pushrod by

bending the U-shape in the pushrod.

Dual Rate Function (RTF Only) and CG

The 4-channel 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter included with the Night Vapor features dual rate capability. The

default setting is high rate. To access the low-rate function, press IN on the right gimbal. The LED light on

the transmitter will blink, alerting you the transmitter is on low rate. To return to high rate, push IN again on

the right stick.

Note: ParkZone STRONGLY recommends using the LOW-RATE setting for conducting the ﬁrst

ﬂight of your Night Vapor.

Center of Gravity

The Night Vapor’s front wing mount should be positioned at approximately 28–30mm behind the front of the

fuselage for the initial ﬂights, with the front battery tray positioned at approximately 10–12mm behind the

front wing mount. The Night Vapor will ﬂy at a wide range of CG positions, allowing you to alter the ﬂying

characteristics of the aircraft. You may also experiment and add a little “trim” to the elevator to bring the

nose up slightly in ﬂight. This allows the airplane to ﬂy even slower.

Receiver Control Unit Description, Arming and Motor Control Test

The receiver installed on your Night Vapor is a lightweight combination of main motor electronic speed

control, servos and Spektrum DSM2-compatible receiver. The receiver unit is also equipped with a status

indicator LED.

Before each ﬂight ALWAYS turn the transmitter on before connecting the ﬂight battery to the receiver unit.

Never connect the ﬂight battery to the receiver unit before powering the transmitter on. After each ﬂight,

always disconnect the ﬂight battery from the receiver unit before powering the transmitter off.

Note: The only time you should connect the ﬂight battery to the receiver unit before powering on

the transmitter is when binding the receiver to the transmitter. Please see the Transmitter and

Receiver Binding section of this manual for more information.

12

13

EN DE FR IT

The following checklist contains the steps to ensure proper arming and operation of the receiver unit, as

well as the proper motor response.

• The throttle stick MUST be set in the lowest possible position, and for most transmitters, the throttle

trim must also be set to the lowest possible position in order for the receiver unit to arm. If this is

the ﬁrst test ﬂight, or a test ﬂight following repairs, you should also center the rudder, elevators, and

aileron trims.

• When the status LED on the receiver becomes solid blue, the receiver unit is initialized and ready for

ﬂight. Also, as long as you had the throttle stick in the idle position and the throttle trim in the lowest

possible position during initialization process, the ESC/motor will now be armed. Use caution as the

propeller will spin with throttle stick input.

Note: If the status LED on the receiver does not become solid blue, review the following.

• If after blinking red the status LED becomes solid blue, but you have no control of the motor, you have

a positive Radio Frequency (RF) link between the transmitter and receiver, but the throttle stick and

throttle trim may not be set to the correct positions. Check that the throttle stick is in the lowest

possible position, and that the throttle trim is set to the middle or a lower-than-middle position. If you

now have control of the motor proceed to the next step of the checklist.

• If the blinking blue status LED keeps ﬂashing, you do not have a positive RF link between the

transmitter and receiver. Check to be sure the transmitter has been powered on. If the transmitter is

powered on and functioning properly, disconnect the ﬂight battery from the receiver unit, then

reconnect it. The receiver unit should initialize and arm properly.

Note: If you inadvertently enter Bind Mode, the LED on the receiver ﬂashes red continuously. If this

occurs cycle the ﬂight battery while the transmitter is on (if previously bound). If your receiver

will not initialize and arm after following the guidelines listed above, then rebind the receiver.

Once you place the airplane in a safe area, free of obstructions, and are clear of the propeller, you can safely

begin to power up the model for proper operation of the motor.

• Advance the throttle stick upward slowly, just until the propeller begins to spin, DO NOT attempt to ﬂy

the airplane at this time. Note the direction the propeller spins. If viewed from the front of the airplane,

the propeller will spin counterclockwise. If it is spinning backwards, disconnect the battery and reverse

the polarity of the motor’s input power leads.

Flying Checklist

 Always turn the transmitter on ﬁrst.

 Plug the ﬂight battery into the lead from the receiver.

 Allow the receiver to initialize and arm properly.

 Fly the model.

 Land the model.

 Unplug the ﬂight battery from the receiver.

 Always turn the transmitter off last.
