QUICK-START GUIDE

Full manual available to download from: www.Ares-RC.com

Remove the components from

the box and ensure you have the

following parts: Fuselage and wing

assembly, tail n, foam cement,

undercarriage set, propeller set

(x4) with prop adapters, spare

propellers (x4), transmitter, Li-Po

battery and charger.

This Quick Start guide is written for the RTF (Ready to Fly) version of the V-Hawk X4.

If you have the PTF (Pair to Fly) version, your model comes complete with a pre-installed

Hitec Red-enabled receiver. Simply pair (connect) with your existing 2.4GHz Hitec or Hitec

Red-enabled transmitter using the pairing guide on last page of this Quick Start guide.

A full instruction manual is available to download from www.ares-rc.com

Glue the tail n to the rear of the fuselage

using the contact adhesive supplied. Apply to

the mating surfaces, press the parts together

to spread the glue evenly across the joint,

then detach the n and leave for 5 or 10

minutes until the glue is dry. Reattach the n

and press rmly to ensure a good bond.

Slot the wire undercarriage units

into the sockets on the fuselage

underside.

Read and fully understand the Li-Po care and

safety precautions in the full online manual

at www.ares-rc.com and never leave Li-Po

batteries unattended whilst charging. Fully

charge the 4S 1300mAh Li-Po in accordance

with guidelines and instructions supplied with

your battery charger.

Full manual available to download from: www.Ares-RC.com

Use hook and loop tape to install

the ight battery as far forward as

possible.

Remove the transmitter battery

cover and insert four AA alkaline

cells.

Switch ON your transmitter, ensure

the LED is lit solid red, center

all the digital trim levers then

move the throttle stick to the low

position.

Connect the battery to the ESC. A series of

4 audible beeps will be heard indicating

that the ESC is armed and operational. Stow

the leads carefully within the fuselage and

replace the canopy hatch. In the unlikely

event that the servos do not operate see the

PAIRING instructions at the end of this guide.

With the sticks and trims centered check that

the elevon control surfaces are in the neutral

position. If not unhitch the clevis and screw

it in or out on the threaded portion of the

pushrod until the control surface is properly

centered. When nished, snap it back in

position on the outer hole of the horn.

With motors rotated to the forward

ying position pull the elevator

stick back and check that the

both elevons move in an upward

direction. Push the elevator stick

forward and check that the elevons

move in a downward direction.

With motors still in the forward

ying position move the aileron

stick to the right and check that

the right-hand elevon moves in

an upward direction whilst the

left-hand elevon moves downward.

Moving the aileron stick to the left

will have the opposite effect.

With motors still in the forward

ying position operate the 5th

channel function and check that

they smoothly transition to the

vertical hovering position. Note that

in this conguration movement of

the elevons will be restricted in all

directions.

With propellers removed, open

the throttle slowly and check that

all four motor shafts turn in the

correct direction – see STEP 14.

Remove the canopy, unplug the

Li-Po battery and switch OFF the

transmitter. Check the image here

noting the correct location of the

four propellers each marked either

A or B.

Slide each propeller and clamp-

style prop adaptor over its

respective motor shaft, and push

it as far down as it will go. Insert

a neatly tting torque bar through

the hole in the spinner nut and

rmly tighten it noting that a loose

propeller has the potential to cause

severe injury.

With the Li-Po battery located and

the canopy hatch tted check that

that the balance point is between

120 and 135mm from the leading

edge of the front wing.

With the aircraft sitting on a at/

level surface, move the throttle

stick to the low position, switch

ON the transmitter once more

and connect the battery and

ESC whilst keeping well clear of

the live propellers. Leave your

V-Hawk undisturbed until the

on-board gyros calibrate. The

process is conrmed when the

motors rotate from their 45 degree position to either the hover or the forward

ight position, this depending on your Channel 5 switch position. Ret the

canopy hatch and check once more that the control surfaces move in the

correct manner. Your V-Hawk X4 is now ready to y.

For a guide to the basic ight operation of your V-Hawk X4 please refer to the

full online instruction manual at www.ares-rc.com.

PAIRING GUIDE

Transmitter Pairing

If previously tted, remove the

V-Hawk’s propellers during the

receiver pairing process. Place your

transmitter and receiver/model

within 1m of each other.

Switch the transmitter ON

and follow the pairing/binding

procedure applicable to your radio

set.

Switch the KA-6 reciver ON. The

LED will initially ash red/blue

then change to fast-ashing red.

Follow the screen prompts or

the guidance detailed in your

transmitter’s pairing instructions,

re-booting both the transmitter and

receiver as necessary. Pairing will

be complete when the ashing red

LED on the KA-6 receiver turns to solid red.

If using a Hitec air radio that

supports both OPTIMA and MINIMA

receivers, make sure to select the

MINIMA option for pairing then

put your transmitter into pair/bind

mode.

If you’re completing the PTF (Pair to Fly) version, or in the unlikely event that your

V-Hawk X4’s RTF radio does not operate straight out of the box, use this guide to pair

your transmitter to the included KA-6 receiver. Once the receiver has been paired to the

transmitter it should not be necessary to complete this procedure again as the ID code will

be stored in the receiver. For full pairing information and that relating specically to the

KA-6 transmitter see the online manual at www.Ikonnik-rc.com
