Build Tips

• The manual does not cover installing the wheels on the axles.
  • Place a wheel onto the axle
  • Apply blue thread lock to the set screw
  • Install wheel collar and snug with the included 1.5mm hex driver
• Page 26, step two should read:

2. Once the vertical fins have dried, use a #1 Phillips screwdriver and the screws removed from the tilt setup section to secure the rear hatch assembly onto the fuselage. Note that the two shorter larger diameter screws are used for the front mount locations.

• Page 28, step four:
  • For the grey painted Cyphers, you do not need to put wing tape on the top painted surface. You can put an extra tape long ways over the servo wire on bottom. This is also ok for the white Cyphers.

Angle Mode Calibration

Please Calibrate the accelerometer before first flights!

Key adjustments before first flight for smooth transitions! Set per manual:

• Adjust fan angle with gauges for 45 degree/Magic -and- 0 degree/Forward Flight. Adjust hover fan angle.
• Adjust elevon angles with gauge.
• Check CG

• Note: The elevon gauge sets the Cypher conservatively. Your Cypher is likely to climb a bit in forward flight initially. If adjustments are needed, land and turn the elevon clevises. Example, if climbing, turn the clevis in 1 turn and try again. Repeat as needed.

Initially climbing is better than diving!
