Step 8
Receiver/ESC
Your F-27B Stryker comes with a specially-designed
™
receiver/ESC unit that allows you great flexibility in the
event that you choose to reuse the radio system in
another model. There are three jumpers that are located
in the receiver that can be changed (added/removed) that
allow you to make changes if you so choose.
Jumper 1—Mix of Elevator and Rudder
You can add the jumper to utilize software that will allow a
slight mix of elevator and rudder. In this mode, when rud-
der input is given, a slight amount of up elevator is added.
By doing this, the nose of the airplane will be more likely to
"stay up" when rudder input is given. This can be of great
help to pilots transitioning from 2- to 3-channel aircraft and
are not experienced with pitch control.
Jumper 2—V-Tail/Standard Tail
Tail Control: Your F-27B Stryker comes with the plane
set for V-tail/elevon function. However, you can add this
jumper and switch the function to conventional "T" tail.
Again, this allows for great flexibility in the event you want
to reuse the radio system.

Jumper 3—Auto Cutoff
Your F-27B Stryker comes with the jumper included in the
third port. This sets the auto cutoff to function with 6- to
9-cell Ni-MH battery packs. If you remove the jumper, the
auto cutoff will function with a 3S Li-Po battery pack.
When your F-27B Stryker goes into auto cutoff, prepare to
land your aircraft immediately. You will maintain control of
steering and pitch, but you will not have access to throttle
at this time. You can "blip" the throttle to try to re-arm, but
only attempt this once as you are preparing to land.
Propellers
Your F-27B Stryker comes with the propeller installed
that should be used with the stock 7-cell Ni-MH battery or
the optional 8-cell Ni-MH battery pack. However, there is
an additional propeller that is included for use when you
choose to power your F-27B Stryker with a 3S Li-Po bat-
tery. The Li-Po prop (5 x 3) will prevent excessive current
draw on the electronics, which will lead to permanent dam-
age to the ESC, motor and your Li-Po battery pack. When
deciding to power your F-27B Stryker with a 3S Li-Po,
always replace the stock prop with the 5 x 3 propeller.
