KAVAN Pulse 2200 V2 - Instruction manual

Introduction

Congratulations on your purchase of the Pulse 2200 V2, motor-powered glider. You are about to start assembling a model manufactured from virtually unbreakable EPO (expanded polyolefin) foam powered by a mighty brushless motor and lightweight LiPo battery. Everybody who has already mastered flying a "full house" trainer - with aileron, elevator, rudder, and throttle control will enjoy this beautiful high-performance glider. However, if you have not flown any other RC model yet, please put your Pulse 2200 V2 aside for a while - at least until you become familiar with any of the trainers like KAVAN BETA 1400 or ALPHA 1500. You can purchase any of these planes as RTF or ARTF kits. Please note that even the most famous glider pilots started their careers flying an elementary trainer first. After a lot of hours at the controls of a twin-seater (like the famous Czech L-13/23 Blanik) they had made their first solo flight and only then they could fly all those high-performance gliders…

Before you start

1. If you are not an experienced RC pilot, plan to have a fully competent pilot check your completed model and help you with your first flights. Even though we have tried to provide you with a thorough instruction manual, RC models are rather complicated, and an experienced modeller can quickly check over your model to make sure your first flights are successful.
2. Please assemble your model exactly according to these instructions. Do not attempt to modify or change your model in any way as doing so may adversely change its flying characteristics.
3. Before you begin, please check the entire contents of this kit to make sure no parts are missing or damaged. This will also help you to become familiar with each component of your plane. If you find that any of the parts are either missing or damaged, please contact your dealer immediately for replacement.

Note: Your dealer cannot accept kits for return if construction has begun.

1. Trial fit each part before glueing it in place. Make sure you are using the correct part, and that it fits well before assembling. No amount of glue can make up for a poorly fitting part.
2. The manual contains a drawing showing the default position of the Centre of Gravity (CG) and recommended control surface throws. Please note it is essential to keep the recommended CG position for the first flight otherwise the model could be unstable, hard to control or even unable to fly at all. Later you can fine-tune the CG position to suit your flying style and skills.
