Latest Updates
Latest Online Manual
The Latest Version of the F-100D Manual is available online.- This version matches the printed manual.
Addendums and Additional Info
Center of Gravity
- The CG section of the F-100D manual had some conflicting information displayed. The correct CG's are listed in the image to the right. Click for the full sized image.
ESC Wires
- Check that the 3 ESC/Motor wires are fully plugged in before installing the Fin.
- We recommend securing them with heat shrink or electrical tape to remove any chance they could be pulled loose.
Care Tips
- As with all foam planes, and especially those with dark colors and cockpits, keep your plane out of direct sunlight (or cover it) when not flying!
- TIP: You can use a small drill bit or a #11 knife blade to make a small 2-3mm hole in the clear canopy above the ejection seat. This will reduce the temperatures a bit in the cockpit due to the 'greenhouse effect'. Hot cars and direct Sun are also bad for the finish.
- Use foam, a soft stand, or towels, or similar items to protect your models surface and finish when working on it, or transporting it!
JR DMSS Use
- In addition to the JR DMSS receivers listed in the manual, the RG812BX should be a good choice as well. Avoid the BPX receivers as they will not do servo pulses and serial data at the same time.
- We recommend updating to the very latest Aura Firmware v1.14 or higher and then set the 'new to Aura' JR XBUS MODE A serial data in the transmitter and the Aura.
- Using MODE A, you can physically wire/connect it just like Futaba diagram in the manual (P. 7). Throttle and Gear in the Receivers ports. Xbus to Port B in Aura.
- More information can be found in the Aura Brand Tips
Jeti EX Bus Use
- Note that EX Bus is now the preferred Jeti connection with Aura. More information can be found in the Aura Brand Tips
Spektrum SRXL2 Use
- Note that the AR6610T using SRXL2 is working with the Aura and F-100D. More information can be found in the Aura Brand Tips
Build Tips
- The Drop Tanks are fully assembled, no need to assemble the fins onto the tanks.
