INTRODUCTION

WARNING - PLEASE READ BEFORE PROCEEDING!

This R/C helicopter is not a toy! If misused or abused, it can cause serious bodily injury and/or damage to property. Fly only in openareas and preferably at a dedicated R/C flying site. We suggest having a qualified instructor carefully inspect your helicopter before itsfirst flight. Please carefully read and follow all instructions included with this helicopter, your radio control system and any othercomponents purchased separately.

● Just because the Shogun 400 EP heli is powered by an electric motor doesn't mean that you shouldn't exercise caution when flyingand operating it. You must use the same amount of caution during use as when flying and operating a glow-powered helicopter.

● We strongly suggest that when you first begin flying the Shogun 400 EP heli that you perform only basic maneuvers, such as hovering,until you are more familiar with the setup and flight characteristics of the helicopter. This will give you time to feel comfortable with theway the helicopter reacts to control inputs and power.

● You must be cautious when plugging the flight battery into the helicopter. Unlike glow-powered helicopters that use a clutch assemblyto allow the engine to idle without the rotor blades spinning, an electric helicopter features no such clutch. You must be sure that yourtransmitter is turned on and the power/collective control stick is in the full idle position before plugging in the flight battery. This willprevent any chance of the rotor blades spinning and harming you while plugging in the flight battery.

The recommended flight battery for the Shogun 400 EP heli is an 11.1 volt 3 cell 1400Mah Lithium Polymer battery. This flight batterycan ONLY be charged using a battery charger that is designed specifically to charge Lithium Polymer cells. The flight battery mustnever be charged at more than 1.4 amps and the voltage output on your charger must be set for a 3 cell battery.

● The flight battery can explode. DO NOT overcharge the flight battery. DO NOT charge the flight battery if it's hot and NEVER chargethe flight battery while unattended. We suggest charging the flight battery outdoors and checking the temperature of the flight batteryevery five minutes to ensure that it does not overcharge and/or overheat.

● In case of excessive heat during the charging process, disconnect the flight battery from the charger immediately and place the flightbattery in a fireproof container or in a fireproof area.

● Long before a Lithium Polymer battery fails it begins to swell. If the flight battery swells even a very little, DO NOT use it. Disconnectit from the charger immediately, let the flight battery cool, then dispose of it.

● DO NOT over discharge the flight battery. When flying, if any power drop is felt, then it's time to land and check the condition of theflight battery.

● DO NOT solder directly to the flight battery. If you change the plug, be careful not to get the flight battery hot.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS ABOUT THE RECOMMENDED FLIGHT BATTERY

The best-flying 3D micro heli, period. That's what Shogun 400 EP heli owner and pilot Paul Anderson will tell you. The hover stability,speed and 3D performance is impressive. And just because it's a micro heli doesn't mean that the Shogun 400 EP heli can't handle thewind. It can! The shaft-driven, geared tail rotor and Bell-Hiller collective-style main rotor provide amazing precision, too. The Shogun400 EP heli flies every bit as good as its larger glow-powered cousins, but does so in a smaller space and without the noise and mess ofglow power. Its 400 size electric power system and lithium polymer flight battery provide tons of power, and at 500 grams, it's a true3D-capable outdoor micro heli.

INSTALLING YOUR SERVOS

● Install your pitch and roll servos into the servo mounts at thefront of the main frame. Both servo output shafts should betoward the front of the main frame.

● Install your tail rotor servo into the mount on the left side of themain frame, directly below the main gear. The servo output shaftshould be toward the front of the main frame.

● Install your collective servo into the mount in the center of themain frame. The servo output shaft should be toward the bottomof the main frame.

● When installing your servos, use the rubber grommets thatcame with your servos, but be careful not to overtighten the servomounting screws. You don't want to completely crush thegrommets.

● Make sure that the servo output shafts are orientated as shownin the photos or else the linkages won't line up properly whenthose are connected later.

● Temporarily run the servo leads down through the battery mount.

IMPORTANT For the best control responseand reliability, it's important to make surethat you use high-quality, ball bearingmicro servos. We don't recommend usinginexpensive bushing-supported servos, orcontrol response and reliability will becompromised.

INSTALLING YOUR GYRO, ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL AND RECEIVER

● Mount your gyro to the right side of the main frame, in thesmall mounting space below the main gear and directly abovethe top of the collective servo, using a piece of double-sided foam tape.

● Mount your ESC to the bottom of the main frame, in themounting space directly behind the forward landing gear strut,using a piece of double-sided foam tape.

● Mount your receiver to the mounting space in front of the pitchand roll servos, using a piece of double-sided tape.

IMPORTANT Make sure to use double-sidedfoam tape to mount your radio components. Thefoam-style tape will help prevent vibration fromdamaging the electronics.

IMPORTANT When installing your gyro, makesure to install it in the correct direction (see yourgyro installation guide for more information). Ifyou're installing the Cirrus MPG-6 gyro, it mustbe installed pointing toward the tail of the heli,as shown. Making sure that the gyro is installedin the correct direction will ensure that the gyromoves the tail rotor in the correct direction.

IMPORTANT When installing your receiver, makesure that the servo lead mounting pins aretoward the right side of the main frame. This willmake it easier to connect the servo leads.

IMPORTANT Install your ESC so that the batteryand throttle leads are toward the right side of themain frame. This will make it easier to connectthem to your receiver. If you're using theEvoFlight ESC, make sure that the red LEDpoints down so that you can see it during flight.

CONNECTING THE SERVO LEADS

● Plug your servos, gyro, electronic speed control and ESC leadsinto their proper slots in your receiver.

● Using nylon cable ties, carefully tie the servo wires togetherneatly to ensure that they don't hang loose and can't interferewith any mechanical parts.

● Connect the motor plug from your ESC to the motor plug onthe motor, making sure that the polarity is correct.

● Unwind and secure the antenna to the helicopter frame, usingyour favorite method. You can either run the antenna in a plastictube and secure it to the landing gear struts or, if your antenna isshort enough, you can secure it to the vertical tail, using a rubberband. As an alternative, you could also purchase and install anaftermarket whip antenna as described on page # 3.

IMPORTANT Double-check with your radio control systems manual the correct channel slotsin your receiver to plug the servo leads into. Most receivers will be like the following, but yourscould differ:

Roll Servo ------------ Channel 1Pitch Servo ---------- Channel 2ESC Throttle --------- Channel 3Gyro -------------------- Channel 4Collective Servo --- Channel 6Tail Rotor Servo ---- Gyro

IMPORTANT When securing your antenna to thehelicopter, it's very important that the excess antennacannot be drawn into the main rotor blades or the tail rotor.

We recommend purchasing and installing a whip antenna.This antenna can be mounted basically anywhere on themain frame and you'll never have to worry about yourantenna getting caught in the rotor blades.

INSTALLING YOUR FLIGHT BATTERY

● To help hold the flight battery in place, apply a small piece ofVelcro® to the back of the flight battery and to the back of thebattery mounting slot in the main frame.

● Slide the flight battery into the mounting slot in the main frameand double-check to make sure that the Velcro® is holding theflight battery firmly in place.

IMPORTANT The Shogun 400 EP heli is designed to use the EvoFlight 3 Cell 1400Mah Lithium Polymer flight battery recommendedin these instructions. Use of any other flight battery is not recommended, and flight performance while using any other flight batterycannot be guaranteed. This flight battery can ONLY be charged using a battery charger that is designed specifically to charge LithiumPolymer cells. The flight battery must never be charged at more than 1.4 amps and the voltage output on your charger mustbe set for 3 cells.

● The flight battery can explode. DO NOT overcharge the flight battery. DO NOT charge the flight battery if it's hot and NEVER charge the flightbattery while unattended. We suggest charging the flight battery outdoors and checking the temperature of the flight battery every five minutes toensure that it does not overcharge.● In case of excessive heat during the charging process, disconnect the flight battery from the charger immediately and place the flight battery in afireproof container or in a fireproof area.● Long before a Lithium Polymer battery fails, it begins to swell. If the flight battery swells even a very little, DO NOT use it. Disconnect it from thecharger immediately, let the flight battery cool, then dispose of it.● DO NOT over discharge the flight battery. When flying, if any power drop is felt, then it's time to land and check the condition of the flight battery.● DO NOT solder directly to the flight battery. If you change the plug, be careful not to get the flight battery hot.

IMPORTANT Before charging and usingyour EvoFlight 3 Cell 1400Mah LithiumPolymer flight battery, it's very importantto read and fully understand the warningslisted above. Failure to understand thewarnings above could cause failure of theflight battery, resulting in damage to theflight battery, your battery charger or evento yourself. Do not leave the flightbat tery unat tended dur ing thecharging process.

CONNECTING THE FLIGHT CONTROL LINKAGES

● Turn on the radio control system and center the collective servo.It's important that the collective stick on your transmitter iscentered, too.

● Double-check that the collective servo is moving in the correctdirection. When the collective stick is moved forward, the servooutput shaft should rotate counterclockwise.

● Cut away all but one arm from a servo horn and enlarge thehole in the remaining arm that is 7mm out from the center of theservo horn to fit the diameter of the collective control linkage wire.

● The collective control linkage wire has a factory-made Z-Bendin the end of it. Connect this Z-Bend to the servo arm, thenattach the servo arm to the servo, making sure that the servoarm is 90º to the servo, as shown. The collective plate should be90º to the main shaft, too.

● We'll set the recommended amount of collective pitch later onin the control setup section.

Even though it's pretty easy and straightforward, take your time when connecting the flight control linkages. Here are a few things to remember:

● Before installing the servo arms, the servos MUST be centered.

● Before making the Z-Bends in the control linkage wires, the particular control system that you're working on MUST be centered.

● The control linkage wires MUST be installed the specified distance from the center of the servo arms.

● The servo reversing settings in your transmitter MUST be set properly, so that the servo arms move in the correct direction.

● Make sure that your radio transmitter is set to heli mode and that collective mixing is turned on.

CONNECTING THE COLLECTIVE CONTROL LINKAGE

IMPORTANT Don't enlarge the hole any morethan necessary to fit the diameter of thecollective control linkage wire. The fit should befirm so that there is no play in the linkage.

IMPORTANT After you're satisfied with thealignment, make sure to install the servo hornretaining screw to secure the servo horn tothe servo.

IMPORTANT Move the collective up anddown several times to check the operation.The assembly should not bind and the servoarm and collective plate should return tocenter when you center the collective stick.

CONNECTING THE TAIL ROTOR CONTROL LINKAGE

● Turn on the radio control system and center the tail rotor servo.

● Double-check that the tail rotor servo is moving in the correctdirection. When the yaw stick is moved right, the servo outputshaft should rotate counterclockwise.

● Cut away all but one arm from a servo horn and enlarge thehole in the remaining arm that is 10mm out from the center of theservo horn to fit the diameter of the tail rotor control linkage wire.

● With the tail pitch control lever lined up 90º to the tail boom,install the servo arm to the servo, making sure that it is lined up90º to the servo. Mark and make a Z-Bend in the tail rotor controllinkage wire, then secure the wire to the servo arm. **You willneed to make a bend in the tail rotor control linkage wire so thatit doesn't interfere with the servo, as shown.

IMPORTANT Don't enlarge the hole anymore than necessary to fit the diameterof the tail rotor control linkage wire. Thefit should be firm so that there is no playin the linkage.

● Turn on the radio control system and center the roll servo.

● Double-check that the roll servo is moving in the correctdirection. When the roll stick is moved to the right, the servooutput shaft should rotate counterclockwise.

● Cut away all but one arm from a servo horn and enlarge thehole in the remaining arm that is 10mm out from the center of theservo horn.

● With the swash plate perfectly level when viewed from the front,install the servo arm to the roll servo, making sure that it is linedup 90º to the servo. Mark and make a Z-Bend in the roll controllinkage wire, then secure the wire to the servo arm.

● Turn on the radio control system and center the pitch servo.

● Double-check that the pitch servo is moving in the correctdirection. When the pitch stick is pulled back the servo outputshaft should rotate counterclockwise.

● Cut away all but one arm from a servo horn and enlarge thehole in the remaining arm that is 7mm out from the center of theservo horn.

● With the swash plate perfectly level when viewed from the side,install the servo arm to the pitch servo, making sure that it islined up 90º to the servo. Mark and make a Z-Bend in the pitchcontrol linkage wire, then secure the wire to the servo arm.

CONNECTING THE ROLL AND PITCH CONTROL LINKAGES

IMPORTANT Don't enlarge the hole any morethan necessary to fit the diameter of the pitchcontrol linkage wire. The fit should be firm sothat there is no play in the linkage.

IMPORTANT Don't enlarge the hole any morethan necessary to fit the diameter of the rollcontrol linkage wire. The fit should be firm sothat there is no play in the linkage.

IMPORTANT The longer portion of the pitchcontrol linkage wire should be on top of theservo arm, as shown. You will also need tomake a couple of small bends in the pitchcontrol linkage wire, so that the wire does notinterfere with the main frame or pitch controlcrank system.

IMPORTANT The longer portion of the rollcontrol linkage wire should be toward thebottom of the servo arm, as shown.

Don't forget to install the servo arm retainingscrews to secure the servo arms to the servos.

IMPORTANT When measur ing andconnecting the control linkage wires, it'simportant that both servo arms be linedup 90º to the servos and that the swashplate be perfectly level in both axes.

Roll Servo Arm Pitch Servo Arm

INSTALLING THE MAIN ROTOR BLADES

● Install the main rotor blades, making sure that the rounded leading edge of both bladesis facing the same direction as the rounded leading edge of the paddles.

● Don't overtighten the socket-cap screws. Tighten them completely, then back them offabout 1/4 - 1/2 of a turn. This will ensure that the rotor blades are tight, but not binding.

IMPORTANT The rotor blades are prebalancedfrom the factory. No balancing on your part isrequired.

IMPORTANT The rotor head turns clockwise.

Page 9: Shogun 400 Manual - 163100

INSTALLING THE BODY

● Slide the body assembly over the front of the main frame. To secure it into place,simply snap the predrilled hole in each side of the body over the matching pin in thebody post on each side of the main frame.

IMPORTANT Double-check that none of theservo and battery wires interfere with the properinstallation of the body.

IMPORTANT Make sure that the body snapsfirmly over the body posts. This will ensurethat the body stays firmly in place during flight.

IMPORTANT Double-check that the back edges of the body do not interfere with any of themechanical parts of the helicopter, such as the tail rotor servo arm, the main gear and theswash plate. If the fit is too close, trim the body slightly, using a pair of scissors.

APPLYING THE DECALS● Working with one decal at a time, use a pair of scissors to carefully cut out the decal along its outer edges.

● Remove the protective backing from the decal and apply the decal to the helicopter. (Use the box cover photos to position the decals.)Lightly rub the decal with a soft cloth to remove any trapped air from beneath it.

● If any air bubbles form in the decal you can "prick" the bubble with a straight pin to release the air.

● Repeat the procedures above to apply the remaining decals. Rub each decal down thoroughly to adhere it into place.

PREFLIGHT SETUP

Before flying your new Shogun 400 EP heli for the first time, it's important to double-check everything once more and to make sure thatyou've set the helicopter up properly for its first few flights.

● Make sure that the mesh between the tail gears is set properly.If the mesh is too loose, the gears could fail. The gear train shouldspin freely with a small amount of backlash.

● Check the alignment of the tail rotor. With the main rotor bladeslevel, look from the back of the helicopter at the tail rotor. It shouldbe aligned perpendicular to the main rotor blades.

IMPORTANT Adjust the gear mesh by loosening thefour small screws that hold the tail boom to the mainframe, then slide the tail boom forward or aft toachieve the proper gear mesh. When satisfied withthe alignment, tighten the four screws.

IMPORTANT Adjust the angle of the tail rotor byloosening the two small upper screws that hold the tailrotor mounting bracket to the tail boom. Pivot the tailrotor, and when satisfied with the alignment, tighten thetwo small screws.

● Double-check that all of the screws that are used throughout assembly are tight. This includes the small self-tapping screws and thegrub screws, too. All screws should be secured into place, using thread-lock (if threaded into metal) or with a small drop of thin C/A ifthreaded into nylon or composite material. This will prevent the screws from loosening during flight.

● Before each flight you should range-test the radio control system to ensure that it is functioning properly.

● Double-check that you've installed the servo horn retaining screws in all of the servos.

IMPORTANT We recommend checking the gear mesh in the tail boom often and readjusting it, if necessary. The tail gears should be changed whenthey begin to look worn. It's also important to double-check that the tail boom stays aligned. The tail gears are a designed wear point. They arereliable and work well in flight, but in case of a tail strike, they are the least expensive and easiest part to replace.

● Double-check that all of the controls are working properly and that they are moving in the correct direction as described below:

PREFLIGHT SETUP, CONTINUED....

● Double-check that the main rotor blade screws and the tail rotor blade screws are snug, but not too tight.

● Double-check that the paddles are level when all of the controls are centered. Both paddles should be even with each other, too.

● Set the recommended amount of collective pitch, using thepitch gauge included. Slide the pitch gauge onto one main rotorblade, with the 0º mark lined up with the leading edge of theblade. With the collective stick centered, the servo arm shouldbe centered and the base of the pitch gauge should be parallel tothe flybar, indicating 0º pitch. If necessary, use your transmitterto adjust the collective to 0º. You can also adjust the linkagesmechanically.

● Remove the pitch gauge and reinstall it so that the 7º mark islined up with the leading edge of the rotor blade. Now, apply fullup collective. Using your transmitter's EPA adjustment, adjustthe collective so that the base of the pitch gauge is parallel tothe flybar.

● Repeat the procedure above for full down collective. When setup properly, you should have 7º of collective pitch in each direction.

IMPORTANT When adjusting the collectivepitch angles, the flybar must be level toget accurate results.

IMPORTANT Make sure to unplug themotor wires before adjusting the collective.This will ensure that the motor does notturn on when you make collective pitchadjustments.

PREFLIGHT SETUP, CONTINUED....

● We recommend between 75% and 100% throttle hold, so that you can switch the throttle to a fixed position by pressing the throttle holdswitch on your transmitter. This allows the collective to work independently of the throttle.

● We use only standard collective/throttle mixing. If you would like to experiment with a linear throttle curve, linear pitch curve and/orrevolution mixing, we recommended doing so only a little at a time, until you are satisfied with the results.

● Put a 1/2" square piece of colored tape over the leading edgeof one main rotor blade.

● Smoothly open the throttle until the heli begins to lift off andwatch the rotational plane of the main rotor blades. Therotational plane of both rotor blades should be the same. If theyare not, adjustments need to be made.

● To adjust the rotational plane, disconnect the ball link from theblade with the higher rotational plane and tighten the ball link1 full turn.

● Reconnect the ball link and test the rotational plane of the rotorblades again. Repeat the procedure above until satisfied withthe alignment.

● Check the correct operation of your gyro. While holding the heli, quickly pivot the tail counterclockwise and observe the movement ofthe tail rotor servo arm. If your gyro is lined up properly, the servo arm should move counterclockwise. If the servo arm moves clockwise,you'll need to mount your gyro upside down.

IMPORTANT If you need to remove oneof the ball links to adjust it, make sure thatyou snap it firmly back into place.

INSTALLING OPTIONAL TRAINING GEAR

While we do not recommend the Shogun 400EP heli for a first-time helicopter, we know that even experienced pilots may want to usetraining gear during the initial testing and trimming of the helicopter.

● Install the optional training gear by simply placing them in an "X" pattern andsecuring them to each of the four corners of the landing gear struts, using the cableties provided with the training gear.

IMPORTANT The part number for theoptional training gear is 165250.
