Flyzone Hadron
Step 1 in the assembly of the Hadronis to remove the turtle deck (above left) with six machine screws and verify the servo placement in the receiver. The vectoring thrust unit (above right) is operated by its own independent servo.
Molded within the airframe are a series of finger indents (below left) for a firm grip during launch. The carbon fiber rod (below right) runs the length of the fuselage for strength as well as an anchor point for the hook and loop material.
Since I would be flying with a 3S Li-Po, the 6–5 prop was used. Should you desire to fly the Hadron with a 4S, and you know you do, you’ll want to use the included 5–5 prop for best performance. The last bit of equipment is optional but I
elected to use it. While the Hadron has a combination lock and magnetic hatch, it could still be possible to lose this hatch while performing the Hadron’s trademark maneu-
ver. These security measures are all that more relevant when you install the 4S Li-Po, so Flyzone included a redundant hatch secu- rity feature.
The two-piece plastic hook is simply as- sembled and adhered to the underside of the hatch with CA. You will not need foam safe glue here so I used Zap brand medium vis- cosity CA and a bit of Zap accelerator. A number 64 rubber band (included) is se-
cured to the same carbon rod molded within the fuselage as the hook and loop fasteners and helps hold down the hook.
With the battery charged and radio pro- grammed I was ready for a quick check of the Hadron. I double checked all the control throws on both low and high rates using my Great Planes Accu-Throw, then checked the center of gravity. Look carefully on the tur- tle deck and you will see a series of dashes.
In order for the Hadron to balance on the suggested center of gravity the included 3S 2200 mAh Li-Po (above left) must be placed all the way up front
28
of the nose. These parts (above right) are included as an optional security measure for the hatch should you use the 4S Li-Po battery.
