Transmitter (RTF set version)
Loading the transmitter batteries
Remove the battery hatch located on the back side of the transmitter pushing the cover at the arrow mark with your thumb. Load 4 fresh alkaline batteries or AA size accumulators carefully keeping the correct polarity (marked on the bottom of the battery holder). Plug the battery holder cable into the socket at the bottom of the battery compartment keeping the correct polarity (+) red wire, (-) black wire. (The transmitter features a protection circuitry – if you connect the plug the other way around, the transmitter will not work, but will not be destroyed by reversed polarity.)
Charging the transmitter batteries
The accumulators have to be charged prior the first flight.
Checking the transmitter battery
Turn on the transmitter and check the LED on the front panel – both the red and green has to glow. These LEDs indicate the status of the transmitter, not the transmitter battery voltage. The low battery alarm is acoustic - once you will hear beeping you have to land immediately and replace/recharge the batteries. If the transmitter beeps immediately after being turned on, DO NOT try to fly at all.
Checking the servo reverse switches position
Set the servo reverse switches to the default position – CH1 and CH4 DOWN (R), CH2 and CH3: UP (N). Turn the transmitter off.
Charging the flight battery
Your ALPHA 1500 V2 is to be powered by a 3-cell LiPo battery pack. The LiPo battery supplied in the RTF Set features two connectors. One is for the balanced charge of the cells (JST–XH type) and the other one is dedicated to the discharge (XT60). The RTF set contains also a dedicated KAVAN C3 wall fast charger (230 V/50 Hz) designed for charging of the flight pack using the balance cable.
Charging the flight battery (RTF set)
- Connect the power cable to the charger.
- Plug the power cable of the charger into the mains socket (230 V/50 Hz). All the LED glow green and flash red indicating the charger is ready to charge.
- Plug the balance connector of your flight battery (JST–XH) into the corresponding socket on the charger.
- The charger starts charging. LEDs will start to glow red. If 2S pack is connected, Cell 1 and Cell 2 LEDs will glow red. If 3S pack is connected, Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3 LEDs will glow red.
- Once a particular cell in the flight battery has been fully charged, the corresponding LED will glow green. 2S pack will be fully charged, if Cell 1 and Cell2 LEDs glow green. 3S pack will be fully charged, if Cell 1, Cell 2 and Cell 3 LEDs glow green.
- Disconnect the flight battery from the charger. LEDs will glow green indicating the charger is ready to charge another pack. Unplug the charger from the mains socket if you are not going to charge another battery.
Assembly
Wing
- Locate the steel wire wing joiner (note the "V" shape ensuring the correct wing dihedral) with the plastic adapter and slide both wing halves onto the joiner.
- Secure the wing halves using the wing joiner plate.
- Use the supplied Y-cables to connect the aileron servos and LED light cables:
A. A radio featuring only one aileron channel (like the T8FB supplied in the RTF set): Connect both two aileron servos (connector label "AILE") to one Y-cable and both two LED light cables (labelled "LED") to another Y-cable. The aileron Y-cable is to be connected to the aileron channel of your receiver (CH1 in the case of T8FB). The LED light Y-cable could be connected to any unused channel of your receiver (the LEDs are just powered by the receiver, they are not remote controlled by the radio).
B: A radio featuring 2 independent aileron servo channels: Connect one aileron servo and one LED light to each Y-cable. Connect the Y-cables to the respective aileron channels of your receiver (typically, CH1 and CH5 or CH6 – it depends on the transmitter and its setting – please refer to the instruction manual of your radio). - Secure the wing using two 2.5×15 mm screws to the fuselage.
Tailplanes
- Put together the vertical and horizontal tailplanes and secure them using two 2.5×15 mm screws to the fuselage.
- Attach the plastic quick links of the elevator and rudder pushrods to the outer hole in the respective elevator and rudder horns.
RC set installation
Now you have to install/connect your receiver, servos and electronic speed controller (ESC).
1. Remove the canopy. Lift the rear part up to disengage the magnetic lock.
2. Following you radio instruction manual connect the servos, ESC and LED light cables to your receiver – the table shows the channel assignment of the T8FB radio supplied in the RTF kit:
| Connector label | Function | Reciever channel (T8FB) |
| AILE | Ailerons | CH1 |
| ELEV | Elevator | CH2 |
| ESC | Throttle | CH3 |
| RUDD | Rudder | CH4 |
| LED | LED lights | CH5 |
3. Put your receiver into the fuselage under the wing seat. You can secure it using a strip of Velcro to the fuselage.
4. The flight battery pack is to be inserted into the nose of your ALPHA 1500 V2 and secured by the Velcro tape to the plywood battery trail - the exact position of the battery pack will be determined later during the Centre of Gravity position check.
Preflight check
Checking the current set-up
1. Assure that the transmitter is turned on (both the LEDs are on with the T8FB), place all the trims in their neutral positions and set the throttle stick into the lowest position. Connect the flight pack to the ESC – the red LED on the receiver must glow. If it blinks or does not glow at all, the receiver and transmitter require establishing their link by the binding procedure – refer to the page 6 in this manual.
2. Checking the control surface neutrals
Please check all the control surfaces are in the neutral position if the corresponding transmitter sticks and trims are in the centre position. If not, please release the particular quicklink and set the control surface to the neutral position. The elevator and rudder has to be flush with the horizontal stabilizer resp. the fin, both two ailerons have to be flush with the wing trailing edge. Once satisfied, re-attach the quicklink to the control horn.
3. Testing the Ailerons
A) Move the aileron stick to the left (looking from the tail to the nose). The left aileron must move up and the right aileron must drop down simultaneously.
B) Move the aileron stick to the right. The left aileron must drop down and the right aileron go up simultaneously.
C) Return the aileron stick to the centre (neutral) - both two ailerons will return to the neutral position.
4. Testing the rudder
A) Move the rudder stick to the left (looking from the tail to the nose). The rudder must move to the left.
B) Move the rudder stick to the right. The rudder must move to the right.
C) Return the ruder stick to the centre (neutral) - the rudder will return to the neutral position.
5. Testing the elevator
A) The elevator stick is located on the left side on the Mode 1 transmitter or on the right side on the Mode 2 transmitter. Pull the elevator stick down. The elevator must move up.
B) Push the elevator stick up. The elevator must move down.
C) Return the elevator stick to the centre (neutral) - the elevator will return to the neutral position.
6. Control surface throws
If you carefully followed the instruction in the previous sections of this manual, the correct default control surface throws has been set automatically. The control throws are set by the ratio between the length of the servo arm and the control surface throw - the actual throws set this way are listed in the column "Normal rate" in the table below. (The throws are always measured in the widest point of the particular control surface.) It is always better to try to reach the requested throws mechanically, adjusting the arm/horn length ratio - even if you have got a fancy computer radio. If you got such a transmitter you can use the function "Dual rate" (D/R) to get even more forgiving setup - please refer to the "Low rate" column. You can also do it mechanicaly - simply move the push rod Z-bends on the servo arms closer to the centre.
A. A radio featuring only one aileron channel
| Control | Low rate | Normal rate | Expo* |
| Aileron | 8 mm up and down | 12 mm up and down | 30 % |
| Rudder | 14 mm left and right | 20 mm left and right | 20 % |
| Elevator | 8 mm up and down | 12 mm up and down | 30 % |
B. A radio featuring 2 independent aileron servo channels
| Control | Low rate | Normal rate | Expo* |
| Aileron | 8 mm up/4 mm down | 12 mm up/6 mm down | 30 % |
| Rudder | 14 mm left and right | 20 mm left and right | 20 % |
| Elevator | 8 mm up and down | 12 mm up and down | 30 % |
*Expo – set to decrease the sensitivity around the neutral (Futaba, Hitec, Radiolink, Multiplex: -30/-20, Graupner: +30/+20 etc.)
7. Testing the power system
KAVAN T8FB/R–30B: Check the throttle channel reverse switch (THR) is in the "N" (up) position on the transmitter. Now perform the throttle range calibration procedure as described in the KAVAN R–30B manual (refer to the attachment) and check the motor brake function has been turned on.
A) Turn on the transmitter, set the throttle stick to the lowest position, connect the flight pack to the ESC in the model (ESC has to be set to the "Brake OFF" mode – if your ESC features this option). If the prop rotated slowly, please check the position of the throttle stick and throttle trim.
B) Slowly move the throttle stick up, the prop should start to rotate clockwise (looking from behind). If it spins in the opposite direction, pull the throttle stick back, disconnect the flight battery and swap any two of the three cables between the motor and the ESC. The re-check again. Repeat the ESC throttle range calibration. Then re-check again.
8. The centre of gravity
A) The CG has to be located 55–60 mm behind the leading edge of the wing. Balance your ALPHA 1500 V2 supporting the wing with your fingertips 55 mm behind the leading edge for the first flight.
B) You can fine tune the CG position later to suit your requirements. Moving the CG forward the model flight will be more stable, moving backward the controls will be become more sensitive, also the thermaling performance might improve slightly. Note: Moving back the CG too much could cause your model would be hard to control or even so unstable that you would not able to control it at all.
Now you are ready to fly!
Flying
Choosing the flying field/weather
Flying field
The flying field should be a flat grassy area. There should be no cars, persons, animals, buildings, power lines, trees or large stones or any other obstacles that ALPHA 1500 V2 might collide with within the range of ca 150 m. We highly recommend you to join a local model flying club – you will get access to their flying field along with advice and help to make your first steps into model flying much easier and safer.
Weather
Calm summer evenings are perfect for the maiden flight. Your ALPHA 1500 V2 is a light thermal glider that is the happiest with wind under 5 m/s. DO NOT fly when it is raining or snowing, on foggy days. Thunderstorms are clearly not the right time to fly either.
Range check
Perform the range check as described in the instruction manual of your radio. Ask a friend to hold the transmitter, and walk away holding the model in a regular flight position in the height of your shoulders. The servos have to respond to control inputs (control stick movements) without any glitching or jitter, with the motor off and at full throttle within the range stated by the radio manufacturer. Only prepare to fly if the range check is 100 % successful.
The first flight
Now the most important advice in this entire manual:
During the first flight we recommend that you have the support of an experienced RC pilot.
There is no shame in asking for help – new full size aircraft are test flown by skilled factory test pilots – and only then are regular pilots allowed to take control. RC model control requires some skills and reflexes people are not born with. It is not complicated to gain these skills – it just takes some time; this will vary with your natural talent. Full size pilots start under the supervision of a skilled instructor; they learn to fly at a safe altitude at first, learn landing and take-off techniques, and only then are they allowed to fly solo. The same principles apply with RC models too. Please do not expect that you will be able to put your model in the air and fly it without any previous RC experience.
Many will have gained skills in controlling their favourite computer game character by hammering the control buttons or sticks. For model flying this skill will have to be unlearnt!
The sticks movements required to control your model are small & gentle. Many models including ALPHA 1500 V2 are happier if you let them "fly by themselves" for most of the time, with small and gentle stick movements to simply guide the model in the required direction. RC flying is not about stick hammering, it is all about small stick movements, and observing the effect of that stick movement. Only later is it possible to anticipate the effect of larger stick movements that can be dangerous to your model in the earlier stages of model flying.
Step 1: Hand launch and initial trimming
The model must be launched into wind every time. Throw grass into the air to observe the wind direction.
Turn on your transmitter.
Connect and put the flight pack into the battery compartment and secure the canopy.
Hold your model with the wings and fuselage level (refer to the drawing) – it is better to ask a friend to launch your model than to do everything by yourself – you can then concentrate on the controls.
Launch the model against the wind.
Give the model full throttle and launch your model with a gentle push straight and level. You will feel the point at which the model is trying to fly naturally. Do not give it too strong a push. Do not throw your model with nose up, or greater than 10 degrees down. The model must have a certain minimum speed from the very start to stay airborne. It is not enough to just "put" your model in the air.
If everything is OK ALPHA 1500 will climb gently. If your ALPHA 1500 loses altitude, pull the elevator stick very slightly towards you (just a little!) to achieve a steady climb.
Step 2: Flying
Keep your ALPHA 1500 V2 climbing until she reaches at least 50 m in height, then throttle back the motor just to maintain the level flight. The real flying fun begins now.
How to control your model?
In contrast to cars or boats, aircraft fly in three dimensional space which makes full control more complex. Turning the steering wheel left or right makes a boat or car to turn left or right, applying more throttle the vehicle speeds up – and this is it. Moving the control sticks left or right has more effect than simply turning the model. The aileron and rudder control will be explained later.
Elevator controls the model in the vertical axis. Apply up elevator and your model’s nose will raise (and the model will climb if it has sufficient power). Apply down elevator and your model will descend. Please note that your model can only climb if it has sufficient power applied. Your model will not necessarily climb simply because you have applied up elevator, and will normally need full power applied for a safe gentle climb. If the climb angle is too great, or the power applied insufficient, your model will lose flying speed until the minimum (stall) speed. At the stalling speed (when the airflow starts to break away from the upper surface of the wing), your model will start to feel as though it is not responding as normal to control inputs, and then drop with little warning – apply down elevator to regain flying speed and full normal control.
Ailerons control the angle of bank. If you gently move the aileron stick to the left, your model will start bank to the left as long as you are holding the stick. Now if you return the aileron stick to the centre position (neutral), your model will maintain the bank. If you want to resume straight flight you have to move the aileron stick to the opposite direction.
.png)
Rudder of a model without ailerons (you might be already familiar with) controls the angle of bank, which then controls the rate of turn. Natural stability of your model keeps the wings level in normal straight flight. Since your ALPHA 1500 V2 features a “full house” controls including ailerons that are the main means how to control the angle of bank, the use of the rudder is slightly different. You can even start to control your model without use of the rudder - but you will learn lately the correct coordinated turn actually requires both aileron and rudder inputs. Any turn requires an appropriate bank angle – ALPHA 1500 V2 will fly nice big and safe flat turns with only a small angle of bank. During initial flights never use a bank angle of greater than 45 degrees. By planning the direction that the model will take, normal turns will be made with less than 30 degrees of bank. Move the rudder to the left a little way, and your model will bank into a gentle turn. Increase the rudder input a little more, and your model will continue turning to the left, but it will also start to descend (this is a good time to move the control stick to the centre to allow your model to recover from the dive).
Why does your model descend when only rudder is applied? Once the rudder leaves its exactly vertical position it also starts to work as an elevator turned down telling your model to dive. When in a banked turn to maintain level flight it is necessary to apply a little up elevator to counter the effect Wind Launch the model against the wind, fuselage and wing level THE FIRST FLIGHT 6 of the down turned rudder. (Actually, the reason why your model descends in the bank is much more complex - the wing gives less lift in the bank as the vertical projection of the wing is the area that counts and you also have to beat the inertia that tries to keep your model in the straight flight...) The elevator applied when your model is in a banked turn also works like a rudder - fortunately it helps to maintain the turn!
In practise, the ailerons are used to put your model to the desired angle of bank, the rudder is used to maintain it, and the elevator input helps to control height whilst also increasing the rate of turn.
Alternatively, you can use only the ailerons to bank your model, then turn your model using just the elevator and finally resume the straight and level flight with the opposite deflection of ailerons.
We have got through about 3/4 of the turn and it is the time to think about returning to straight and level flight in the desired direction. Return the controls to the middle position (you may need to correct the turn with a little right ailerons and/or rudder). If necessary give slight elevator input to settle your model into a straight and level flight. If you take a look at our drawing on the right you will notice that it takes some time until the model actually starts to turn. And, when leaving the turn, you have to start to apply the opposite ailerons and rudder sooner than the nose of your model is pointing to the desired final direction. The elevator and rudder deflections are marked with dotted lines – this is because you cannot tell exactly the track that the model will take during a gentle banked turn, or entry to straight and level flight.
Congratulations! You have learnt how to achieve a coordinated turn using rudder and elevator. Remember that model aircraft control is about guiding your model in the desired direction rather than precise steering. Another complication is the rudder control. It is easy and natural while the model is flying away from you, but when your model is flying toward you the direction of control commands has to be reversed. A simple trick when the model is flying towards you is to move the control stick towards the wing that you want to lift, imagine supporting the wing by moving the stick under that wing – it works!
Final setup
Now is the time for the final setup. Fly your ALPHA 1500 V2 straight into wind, leave the controls in the neutral position. If the model turns in one direction apply the rudder trim in the opposite direction until ALPHA 1500 V2 flies straight. Without power your model must settle into a gentle glide, not too fast so that it plummets to the ground, and not so slow that the controls feel "soggy" and the model is on the edge of the stall. Apply the elevator trim in the way described in the initial trimming section.
If your model banks to a side, apply a little of the aileron trim in the opposite direction.
Powered and unpowered flight
The model has been already fine tuned for the unpowered phase of flight. When you turn on the motor your model might tend to pitch nose up when full throttle is applied. You cannot completely trim out this tendency with any motor powered glider – just be aware of this characteristic when flying your model. In practise you might have to make slight elevator corrections to maintain a gentle, but positive climb. In some cases there might be a strong trim change, and the only cure for this is to modify the thrust line of the motor. In order to reduce the nose up pitching you have to increase the down thrust of the motor (by using card or scrap ply packing pieces). The opposite problem is quite rare, but it is possible that a model correctly set up for the glide requires a lot of up elevator to maintain a climb when power is applied. The cure: decrease the down thrust of the motor.
Landing
When the power available starts to reduce check that you landing field is clear of people and other obstructions. Position your model about 10 to 20 m off the ground at the down wind end of your field. Make the final approach into wind, keeping the wings level all the time as your model descends slowly, and finally settles gently onto the ground. With more practice you will be able to use a little up elevator to "round out" (slow down the model) at less than 1 m off the ground.
Appendix
Transmitter and reciever binding
The control signal of 2.4 GHz transmitter contains an unique identification code that allows the receiver recognized the signal of "its own" transmitter and responded only to the right signal – no matter how many other 2.4 GHz transmitters is operating in the vicinity. When a 2.4 GHz RC set is prepared for the first use and always when a new receiver is to be used with your transmitter, you have to perform a procedure called "binding" in order to establish the link between your transmitter and receiver. During this process the receiver will recognize the ID of your transmitter and store it to its memory. From now on it will respond just to the signal of your transmitter.
T8FB/R8EF binding procedure
- Place the transmitter and the receiver close to each other (within one meter).
- Turn your transmitter ON and then your receiver.
- There is a black binding button on the side of the R8EF receiver; press and hold the receiver binding button for about 2 seconds until the LED starts to blink on the receiver. After about 8 blinks the process is accomplished and the receiver LED will glow red steady.
- Turn the receiver off and then on again. Check the correct operation of all servos.
Repairs and maintenance
- Please perform the range check in the beginning of each flying session.
- Before every take off please check the correct control surface movement.
- After every landing check the plane for any damage, loose clevises or push rods, bent undercarriage, damaged propeller etc. Do not fly again until the damage is repaired.
Although the ALPHA 1500 is manufactured of the extra tough and virtually unbreakable extruded polyolefine (EPO) foam, damage or broken parts may occur. A minor damage can be repaired simply gluing the parts together with a cyanoacrylate (CA) glue or with a clear sticky tape. In a case of a major damage it is always better to purchase a brand new spare part. A wide range of genuine spare parts and accessories is available through the KAVAN/PELIKAN DANIEL dealers.
In the unfortunate event of a crash or heavy landing, no matter how minor or major, you must lower the throttle stick to its lowest positions as quickly as possible to prevent damage to the electronic speed controller in the control unit.
Failure to lower the throttle stick and trim to the lowest possible positions in the event of a crash could result in damage to the ESC, which may require replacement of the ESC.
