2. 安全上の注意

Operating remote-controlled aircraft requires adherence to strict safety guidelines to prevent injury or damage. Always prioritize safety during assembly, operation, and maintenance.

一般的な安全性：

• Always operate your RC plane in open areas, away from people, buildings, and obstacles.
• Never fly near airports or restricted airspace.
• Ensure your batteries are fully charged and properly secured before each flight.
• Perform pre-flight checks thoroughly before every takeoff.
• 強風や悪天候のときは飛行しないでください。
• 観客同士は安全な距離を保ってください。

Battery Safety (LiPo):

• Use only recommended LiPo batteries (4S 2200-3300mAh).
• Charge LiPo batteries with a compatible LiPo charger only.
• LiPo バッテリーを過充電または過放電しないでください。
• Store LiPo batteries in a fire-safe container and away from flammable materials.
• 使用する前に電池に損傷がないか点検してください。損傷がある場合は使用を中止してください。

3. 組み立て

The Tasman 1500mm is a Plug-N-Play (PNP) model, meaning the motor, ESC, and servos are pre-installed. Minimal assembly is required to get your aircraft ready for flight.

必要なツール（含まれていません）：

• 小型プラスドライバー
• Hobby knife or sharp blade
• Foam-safe adhesive (e.g., CA glue with activator, epoxy)

組み立て手順:

1. 翼の取り付け： Carefully slide the main wing onto the fuselage. Ensure the wing spars align and fully insert into their respective slots. Secure the wing using the provided screws. Connect the aileron and flap servo leads to the appropriate extensions in the fuselage.
2. Horizontal Stabilizer and Elevator Installation: Attach the horizontal stabilizer to the rear of the fuselage. Connect the elevator pushrod to the control horn. Ensure free movement of the elevator.
3. Vertical Stabilizer and Rudder Installation: Mount the vertical stabilizer onto the fuselage. Connect the rudder pushrod to the control horn. Verify smooth operation.
4. Landing Gear Assembly: The main landing gear with oversized air-filled tires should be pre-installed. Ensure they are securely fastened. The tail wheel assembly also needs to be checked for proper attachment and steering linkage.
5. Propeller and Spinner Installation: Attach the propeller and spinner to the motor shaft according to the instructions provided with the propeller. Ensure the propeller is balanced and installed in the correct orientation for thrust.

4. 飛行前点検

Before every flight, perform the following checks to ensure the safety and proper operation of your Tasman 1500mm.

コントロールサーフェスチェック:

• Turn on your transmitter first, then connect the flight battery to the aircraft.
• Verify that all control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder, flaps) move freely and in the correct direction relative to your transmitter inputs.
• Check for any binding or excessive play in the linkages.

Center of Gravity (CG) Setup:

Proper CG is crucial for stable flight. Refer to the diagram below for the recommended CG location. Adjust battery position within the compartment to achieve the correct balance.

5. 操作手順

The Tasman 1500mm is designed for stable and enjoyable flight, with capabilities ranging from gentle cruising to aggressive 3D maneuvers.

脱ぐ：

• Place the aircraft on a flat surface, facing into the wind if possible.
• Apply throttle smoothly. The large air-filled tires provide excellent traction on various surfaces.
• As speed increases, gently apply up-elevator to lift off. The functional flaps can be deployed for shorter takeoffs.

フライト：

• The Tasman offers stable flight characteristics, making it forgiving for new pilots.
• For advanced maneuvers, utilize the large control surfaces and powerful 4S-compatible outrunner motor.
• The LED navigation lights enhance visibility, especially during dawn or dusk flights.

着陸：

• Approach the landing strip into the wind.
• Gradually reduce throttle and deploy flaps as needed to control descent speed.
• Maintain a slight nose-up attitude for a smooth touchdown on the main landing gear, then gently lower the tail.
• The oversized air-filled tires absorb impacts, allowing for landings on rougher terrain.

6. メンテナンス

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and optimal performance of your Tasman 1500mm.

一般的なケア：

• Clean the aircraft after each flight, removing dirt, grass, or debris.
• Inspect all control surfaces, linkages, and hinges for wear or damage.
• すべてのネジと留め具がしっかり締まっているか確認してください。

空気入りタイヤ:

The unique air-filled tires may require occasional pressure checks. Use a small pump suitable for RC tires to maintain optimal inflation for cushioning and rebound.
