F-27 Stryker Instruction Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone™

F-27 Stryker™. Your Stryker has come with everything

needed to get you in the air—all in one box! You will

only need to attach the vertical fins, attach the nose,

and charge the battery prior to flight.

We at ParkZone are committed to giving you the

most enjoyable flight experience you can have.

In order to ensure a safe and successful flight,

we ask that you do not fly until you have read

these instructions thoroughly.

Your F-27 Stryker comes with a fully proportional

3-channel FM radio system with full control of throttle,

steering and pitch. If you have not successfully flown

one of HobbyZone’s Zone 1 or 2 aircraft, or any other

radio controlled aircraft, we strongly recommend that

you seek the help of an experienced radio control pilot

during your beginning flights.

Crash damage is not covered under the warranty!

Your F-27 Stryker comes with special software that

gives you the ability to change flight modes as you

gain more experience and become more advanced

in your flying. There are two independent modes to

select from. This is done easily with a switch on

the transmitter.

Step 1

Step 2

Transmitter

1. Insert 8 new “AA” batteries (supplied) into the

transmitter, observing proper polarity.

2. Turn switch on to ensure the batteries have been

installed correctly. Once this is confirmed, turn

radio off.

Charging the Aircraft Battery

Your ParkZone charger uses unique peak detection

circuitry that ensures an accurate charge every time and

protects your Ni-Cd and Ni-MH batteries from the dangers

of over-charging. During the charge cycle, it continuously

monitors the charge curve and automatically switches to

trickle charge when the peak is detected.

Important: The F-27 Stryker airplane battery should be

charged shortly before flying. If you charge the battery

12 to 24 hours prior to flying, you will need to “re-peak”

the battery before you fly by repeating the charging steps.

DC Peak Detection Charger Features:

• Variable charge rate from 0.3–1.2 amps

• Trickle charge

• Uses automobile 12V power outlet

• Charges 4- to 7-cell Ni-Cd and Ni-MH

battery packs

• LED charge indicator

Charging the Aircraft Battery:

1. Using the dial on the side of the charger, select

the charge rate to 1.2 amps.

Battery Capacity: 8.4V 900mAh Ni-MH

Typical Charge Time: 40 minutes

2. Connect the battery pack to the charger.

3. Connect the charger to the 12V power outlet in

your automobile. The LED will continually blink

while the battery charges.

4. Charging is finished when the LED indicator

glows steadily. You should also notice at this time

that the battery is warm to the touch.

Note: Damage to the charger and battery

will occur if you exceed the maximum charge

rate recommended.

Note: Do not leave the charger and battery

unattended during the charge process. While

charging, place the battery on a heat resistant

surface and constantly monitor the temperature

of the battery pack. If the battery becomes hot at

any time during the charge process, discontinue

charging immediately. Do not allow children to

charge battery packs without adult supervision.

Attaching the nose

1. Locate the nose inside the box.

2. Trial fit the nose without peeling the paper off of

the tape. This will give you a good idea of what the

fit will be like.

3. Peel the paper off the tape and carefully attach

the nose.

4. To add support, apply the included decals to the

side and bottom of the nose/fuselage

Step 5

Motor Test

1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the

“off” position.

2. Turn on transmitter.

3. Remove battery cap from top of the fuselage

(see above).

4. Plug the flight battery into the inside of

the fuselage.

5. Secure battery inside fuselage cavity and replace

battery cap.

6. Your F-27 Strykerhas a built-in throttle-arming

feature which needs to “see” the throttle slider

in the off position before it will spin the propeller.

Advance the throttle forward and the propeller

should spin at a high speed. The throttle-arming

feature will need to be activated each time the

battery is plugged into the airplane.

Attaching the vertical fins

You will need to attach the two vertical fins

to the fuselage. These fins will help to give the

F-27 Stryker™ stability.

1. Locate both fins from box.

2. Install the fins into the slots on fuselage.

Adult Supervision Required

WARNING: Keep everything clear of the propeller and

hold the plane securely. A moving propeller can cause

severe injury.

OFF

Step 4

Note: Double-sided tape is on the

front edge of both fins. Peel the paper

from the tape in order to secure the

vertical fins into the fuselage.

Step 6

Elevon Test

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller

before starting the control test in the event that you

accidentally turn on the motor.

Your F-27 Stryker™features two large elevons that

provide directional control.

To test the elevons to ensure they function correctly,

follow these simple steps:

1. Turn on transmitter.

2. Install and plug in fully charged aircraft battery. With

the stick at neutral and both trim levers centered, the

elevons should be at neutral. If this is not the case,

you can make small adjustments to the trim levers.

3. Give the transmitter full right on the stick. As you are

looking from the tail of the aircraft, the right elevon

should deflect upward, and the left downward

(in image 1).

4. Give the transmitter full left on the stick. The

left elevon should deflect upward and the

right downward.

5. Pull back on the stick and the elevons should both

deflect equally upward (in image 2).

6. Push forward on the stick and the elevons should

deflect equally downward.

If you encounter any problems with your F-27 Stryker

responding properly to the transmitter, do not fly.

Step 7

Mode Change Flight Control System

Your F-27 Stryker™ is equipped with Mode Change

Flight Control™ software that allows you to choose two

ways to fly. A switch on top of the transmitter allows

you to easily select the desired mode.

Mode A. In this mode, you will be limited in the amount

of travel of the control surfaces (elevons), allowing for

smooth and more manageable control. We recommend

that you begin flying in this mode until you become

more familiar with the F-27 Stryker. A label on the

transmitter will show the position of the switch

(pushed back away from pilot) when in Mode A.

Mode B. The travel of the elevons are no longer limited.

This mode is absolutely ideal for extreme aerial combat

with an optional Sonic Combat Module™ (HBZ4020),

pylon racing, inverted flight and other outrageous flying

maneuvers. However, your F-27 Stryker will also be

much easier to crash in Mode B as well. This mode is

recommended for advanced pilots only. The transmitter

label will show the position of the switch (all the way

toward pilot when holding transmitter) when in Mode B.

Note: It is possible to change the flight modes during

flight. This should be done at higher altitudes.

Step 8

Choose a Large, Open Grassy Field

• A large, open grass field is required to fly your

F-27 Stryker. The Stryker can achieve speeds of up to

50 mph, so it covers ground fast. The bigger the

field, the better.

• It is essential to have a minimum of 300 feet of

clear space in all directions from the pilot. If you

ignore this direction, you will have problems.

• Make certain that you do not fly near trees, buildings,

or other areas that can restrict your view or interfere

with your flying.

Step 10

Range Test

You will need two people to perform the range test:

one to hold the plane and the other to give input to

the transmitter.

Warning: The person holding the plane should be

sure the propeller does not come into contact with any

part of their clothing or body.

1. One person holds the transmitter, while the other

person walks 100 paces away with the airplane.

2. Be sure the throttle slider is in the “off” position.

3. Extend the transmitter antenna completely and

turn the transmitter on.

4. Plug the airplane battery into the fuselage.

5. As soon as the throttle slider is advanced, the

propeller should spin quickly.

6. As the first person moves the transmitter controls

at the same time, the other person watches to be

sure the airplane’s motor and tail controls operate

smoothly.

Step 11

Seek Assistance from an Experienced

Radio Control Pilot

VERY IMPORTANT

The 3-channel control system is designed for

the experienced radio control pilot and is not intended

for the first-time flyer. It is best to have HobbyZone®

Zone 2 experience. First-time pilots of the ParkZone™

F-27 Stryker™should seek the assistance of an experi-

enced RC flyer until the additional third channel

(pitch control) has been competently mastered.

Crash damage is not covered under the warranty.

Step 9

Choose a Calm Day

You want to fly! However, you need to make sure

that your initial flights especially are done with little

to no wind (less than 7mph).

To check wind conditions:

1. Tie the included red ribbon to the

transmitter antenna.

2. Hold the transmitter antenna so that it is

parallel to the ground and note how much the

ribbon moves in the wind. If the ribbon hangs

down, conditions are right to fly. However, if

the angle between the antenna and the ribbon

is less than 20 degrees, it is too windy to fly.

20º

100 paces

Step 13

Flying

1. After launching, your F-27 Stryker™ will climb

at full throttle. Keep the throttle full on until

you have reached an altitude of about 50 feet.

At this same time, make sure that you are

continuing to keep the airplane directed

into the wind.

2. Make right and left adjustments as necessary to

keep the plane headed directly into the wind.

After you have reached 50 feet of altitude, you

can begin to make directional changes that

you desire.

3. Use the trim levers on the transmitter to help

with trimming for level flight. If you still need

some additional trim adjustment to the elevons,

you can detach the clevis from the control sur-

face horn and turn the clevis in or out in order

to raise or lower the elevon until the desired

adjustment is made.

4. Remember—control range is 2,500 feet. Do not

allow the plane to get too far away from you. When

the plane is further in the air, it is harder to see and

the winds are stronger as well.

5. Always keep the plane upwind from you, so it

will not be carried away from you by the wind.

6. Flying in too much wind is by far the number one

reason for those who are inexperienced to crash or

have fly-aways.

7. Do not try to climb too fast by pulling all the way

back on the stick (up elevator), or your plane may

enter into a stall. Climb by giving small amounts

of elevator.

8. Damage/bends to the wings or tails can greatly

affect flight control. Replace the damaged

parts immediately.

Step 12

Hand Launching the F-27 Stryker

1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.

2. Make sure the throttle slider is in the OFF position

before turning on the transmitter.

3. Turn on the transmitter. Make certain transmitter

switch is on correct mode.

4. Plug in aircraft battery.

5. Place the fingers of your launching hand into the

molded place on the bottom of the aircraft.

6. With the power off, throw your F-27 Stryker™firmly

with a slight angle upwards, directly into the wind.

7. After throwing, immediately give full throttle.

8. Keep steering into the wind and hold at full throttle

until you have reached an altitude of at least 50 feet.

9. When you have reached this safe altitude, it is safe to

steer in the desired direction as well as adjust the

throttle input to help control altitude and speed.

WIND

Step 14

Throttle Adjustment

1. Climb to an altitude of 150 feet or more with full

throttle.

2. To achieve and maintain a level “cruising”

altitude, reduce the power by moving the throttle

slider down to approximately 50% of full-on. The

thottle slider is proportional, so you can add or

reduce throttle in small increments as needed to

maintain the altitude that you desire.

3. To reduce altitude, reduce throttle.

4. To increase altitude, increase throttle.

Step 13 continued

Sharp Turns

In order to make a sharper turn, move the stick in

the desired direction and add some up elevator (pull

back on stick). The plane will make a sharper banking

turn.

Note: With the throttle slider set at low or off

(gliding), the plane will not turn as fast as when

you are flying at or near full throttle.
