Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone ®
Spitfire Mk IIB. The Spitfire was heralded throughout the
world during WWII for its fantastic flying characteristics
and was the aircraft the British counted on most to
defend against the Germans. Now you can take to the
skies with your own Spitfire and envision yourself in an
epic battle with the Luftwaffe.
Your ParkZone Spitfire Mk IIB RTF purchase includes
everything needed to get you in the air—all in one box!
You will only need to attach the wing and horizontal tail
and charge the battery pack prior to taking to the air.
Everyone at ParkZone is committed to giving you the
most enjoyable flight experience possible. In order for
your first flight to be safe and successful, we ask that
you do not fly until you have read these instructions
thoroughly.
The ParkZone Spitfire Mk IIB comes with a fully
proportional 3-channel FM radio system, with full
control of throttle, ailerons, and elevator. If you are
not experienced at flying one of HobbyZone’s 3-channel
aircraft, or any other 3-channel radio controlled aircraft,
Spitfire Mk IIB Instruction Manual
we recommend that you do not fly this aircraft. If you
still choose to fly, you will need to seek the help of an
experienced radio control pilot during your first several
flights. This is especially important if you have not flown
a 3-channel airplane with aileron control as one of the
channels. Crash damage is not covered under
the warranty!
Your ParkZone Spitfire Mk IIB is equipped with the
exclusive ZX10 radio system which utilizes 10-bit,
1024-step processing for high-fidelity control. It uses
a 6-channel FM receiver with industry standard 3-wire
servos, along with X-Port™ capability for maximum
expandability and reusability.
The ZX10 system also features dual rates, allowing you
to fly how you feel most comfortable. Mode A limits
the travel of the control surfaces and offers smooth
and relaxing flight. Mode B allows for full control at all
times for those craving the maximum performance of
their aircraft.
Step 1
Setting Up the Transmitter
1. Insert 8 new “AA” batteries (supplied) into the
transmitter, observing proper polarity.
2. Turn the switch on and check to make sure the
LED is illuminated, which indicates that the bat-
teries have been installed correctly. Once this is
confirmed, turn the radio off.
3. You’ll need to replace the transmitter “AA” batteries
whenever you hear the low-battery alarm (beep-
ing sound) being emitted from the transmitter. To
extend the life of your “AA” batteries, remove them
from your transmitter when you are not using it.
