Thank you for your purchase of the Advance Radio Smooth Flite System.
The Advanced Radio Smooth Flite system was designed with Giant Scale Models in mind
and combines Power Distribuon, Flite Stabilisaon and a 16 Channel Servo control
system in the lightest package in it’s class (less than 50 grams).
In the past trimming and matching servos would take place via the transmier. This old
school thought would limit you to the number of channels available from the
transmier. With Smooth Flite these funcons have been moved to the Smooth Flite
system and in doing so brings you much more funconality and exibility in model
setup. You gain at the touch of a buon as many as 16 servo outputs that can all be
mixed, matched, sub trimmed, reversed and endpoint adjusted. The power of this new
system and thought process will become obvious as you start to use the Smooth Flite
System.
To add to this we have created much more than just a simple Gyroscope based system.
We decided to include a 3 axis gyro, accelerometer, compass and barometer into the
hardware. The combinaon of these sensors gives you much more exibility in ight
stabilisaon and that is why we called it Smooth Flite!
LETS GET STARTED — in this guide we will show you how to connect your new
Smooth Flite system, General use and setup as well as how to get the most out of the
Smooth Flite stabilisaon system. Please take the me to read & understand this guide
before installaon.
TOUCH SCREEN—The touch screen display supplied with the Smooth Flite should be
protected from vibraon. We don’t recommend mounng the Smart Screen in models
with gas powered engines.
BATTERIES—Before installaon please ensure that your baeries are fully charged. The
Smooth Flite System relies on this to know how much your model has consumed from
each pack. Smooth Flite collects this informaon and displays this as a set of baery cells
indicators on the Smart Screen. NEVER FLY WITH BATTERY PACKS THAT HAVE 35% OR
LESS CAPACITY (RED ZONE ON THE BATTERY INDICATOR). Doing so may put your model
at risk.
RECEIVER INSTALLATION—Some receivers don’t oer protecon against incorrect
polarity or pin oset. IT IS IMPORTANT that you observe correct polarity and pins when
connecng the receivers to the Smooth Flite system.
