11 Remove the fuselage canopy hatch,
slide the Li- Po into the front section
of the fuselage and secure it to the
battery mounting platform using
the hook and loop tape supplied.
12 Remove the transmitter battery
cover and insert four AA alkaline
cells taking care to observe the
correct polarity.
13 Switch ON your transmitter and
ensure the LED is lit solid green.
Keep the throttle stick at its low
position.
Important: Do not adjust the digital trims
while switching on the transmitter as these
are used in the servo reversing procedure.
See the full manual online for details.
14 Connect the battery to the Electronic Speed
Controller (ESC). An series of 3 audible beeps will
be heard indicating that the ESC is armed and
operational. Stow the leads within the fuselage
and replace the canopy hatch.
In the unlikely event that the servos do not
operate, see the PAIRING instructions at the back
of this guide.
Place the charger on a at, heat resistant surface
with a good airow all around. Connect the supplied
3S 1500mAh Li- Po battery to the charger using
the white three pin balance plug, ensuring the
correct orientation of the plug. The red ‘Charger’
LED will light indicating that the battery is charging.

15 With the control surfaces centered,
connect the elevator and rudder
clevises to the outer hole of each
control horn noting that you may
have to screw the clevis in or out
to ensure that the control surface
remains in the neutral position.
16 Check that the ailerons are
centered and, if not, adjust the
clevises to suit.
17 Check that the control surfaces
operate in the right direction. With
the model in front of you, facing
away, move the rudder stick to
the left and check that the rudder
moves left in response. Right
rudder stick will move the rudder to
the right.
18 Pull the elevator stick back and
check that the elevator moves in an
upward direction. Push the elevator
stick forward and check that the
elevator moves in a downward
direction.
19 Moving the aileron stick to the right
should cause the right- hand aileron
to move in an upward direction
whilst the left- hand aileron moves
downward. Moving the aileron stick
to the left will have the opposite
effect.

21 Remove the canopy, unplug the
Li- Po battery and switch OFF the
transmitter. Slide the propeller
over the motor shaft, position the
Allen screw directly above the at
section of the shaft and securely
tighten it.
22 Check that your Alara sits level
when balanced on either side of
the fuselage at a point 65-70mm
back from the leading edge. Adjust
the position of the battery to suit.
23
24 Your Alara is now ready to
y. Choose a suitably calm
day to test y your model. We
recommend that the services of
an experienced model pilot be
employed to assist with your rst
ight. Please see the full manual
for further information.
With the throttle stick in the low
position, switch ON the transmitter
once more and connect the battery
to the ESC whilst keep well clear of
the live propeller. Ret the canopy
and check once more that the
control surfaces move in the correct
manner.
20 Open the throttle slowly and check
that the motor shaft turns in a
clockwise direction (when viewed
from the rear).

Transmitter Pairing
1If already tted, REMOVE THE
ALARA’S PROPELLER. Place the
transmitter and receiver within
1m of each other. Switch ON the
transmitter then hold down the
the transmitter’s PAIR button for
2 seconds. The red LED (power)
indicator will ash.
2Power the receiver ON noting that,
for initial pairing, this must be
carried out within 5 seconds of
switching the transmitter on. Once
paired this time constraint is no
longer necessary.
3
4You should now have full control
of your Alara. If the radio does
not immediately pair, ensure
the transmitter is not too close
to the receiver and repeat steps
1 – 4. With pairing complete,
reboot the system by powering the
receiver OFF, then the transmitter,
and switching back on again,
transmitter rst.
Pairing will be complete when the
transmitter’s green LED lights solid.
In the unlikely event that your Alara’s radio does not operate straight out of the box (i.e.
the transmitter is not paired with the receiver), use this guide to rectify the problem. Once
a receiver has been paired to the transmitter, it should not be necessary to complete this
procedure again as the ID code is stored in the receiver.
