Cessna 210 Centurion RTF

Instruction Manual

Congratulations on your purchase of the ParkZone®Cessna 210

Centurion RTF airplane. Your Cessna 210 Centurion comes pre-as-

sembled with everything needed to get you in the air – all in one box!

You only need to charge the ﬂight battery prior to your ﬁrst ﬂight. In

as little as 30 minutes, you can be ready to ﬂy. This means you can

spend your time reﬁning your ﬂying, and not your building skills. Your

ParkZone Cessna 210 Centurion will allow you to perform many aero-

batic maneuvers, all in an area the size of half a basketball court!

We at ParkZone are committed to giving you the most enjoyable

ﬂight experience possible. In order to have a safe and successful

ﬂight, we ask that you do not ﬂy until you have read these instructions

thoroughly.

Your Cessna 210 Centurion features the latest in ultra sub-micro

technology, including a 2.4GHz fully proportional 3–channel radio

system with full control of throttle, rudder and elevator. Your Cessna

210 Centurion also comes complete with the latest in lightweight

electronic speed control technology, two linear servos, a 3.7V 70mAh

Li-Po ﬂight battery and a convenient charger.

Warning

Though your ParkZone Cessna 210 Centurion comes ready to ﬂy, this

aircraft is for experienced RC pilots only and is not a toy. It can cause

serious bodily harm and damage to property!

FCC Statement

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two

conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept

any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

Caution!

Changes or modiﬁcations not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could

void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

Step 1

Transmitter

Your ParkZone Cessna 210 Centurion airplane comes with a fully

proportional (Mode 2) 3-channel radio system that includes digital

trims. In this conﬁguration, the left stick controls throttle, while the

right stick controls elevator and rudder.

1.Insert the included 4 “AA” batteries that are included with the

package into the transmitter.

2.Turn the switch on to ensure the batteries have been installed

correctly. When the batteries are installed correctly, the LED on

the transmitter should glow brightly. When the transmitter makes

a repeated “beep” sound, it is time to replace the transmitter

batteries.

Binding Process

Your ParkZone 2.4GHz radio system uses a unique binding operation

to link your transmitter with your receiver. Please note that your radio

system has been bound for you already. Should you need to replace

a transmitter or your aircraft, you will need to perform the binding

process as detailed below:

1.Make sure your transmitter is powered off and the battery has

been removed from your Cessna 210 Centurion.

2.With the transmitter powered off, push down on the throttle stick

(left stick) and then turn the transmitter power on. The LED on

the transmitter will blink red.

3.You will hear a series of beeps from the transmitter. Plug the

battery into the airplane at this time. The LED on the transmitter

will turn to solid red.

4.A series of 3 beeps will be heard while the radio is attempting

to bind. Move the right stick in any direction at this time to

complete the binding process. You are then ready to fly.

Step 2

Charging the Aircraft Battery

The included charger uses unique circuitry that ensures an accurate

charge for the 3.7V 70mAh battery pack every time. It also protects

the battery from being over-charged, which can damage the battery

pack. The charger sequence begins with charging at constant current,

then later switches to constant voltage.

To charge your ParkZone 3.7V 70mAh battery:

1.Slide the battery into the charge slot on the display stand.

2.Gently press the battery into the charging jack in the bottom

of the slot. The LED light on the base will turn solid red.

3.The battery will charge in approximately 20 minutes when nearly

depleted.

4.As the battery nears fully charged, the LED will begin to blink.

When fully charged, the LED will blink once every 20 seconds.

5. You can expect to be able to charge the flight battery about

15–20 times before it will become necessary to replace the

4 AA batteries. Replacing with alkaline batteries will extend the

AA battery life.

Step 3

Motor Test

1.Make sure the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.

2.Turn on the transmitter.

3.Plug the flight battery into the white lead in the fuselage.

4.Secure the flight battery by gently pressing the battery pack

against the hook and loop material on the underside of the

fuselage.

5.Advance the throttle forward and the propeller should spin at a

high speed. (CAUTION: Make sure that you keep everything

away from the propeller at all times.)

6.When finished with the motor test, continue to Tail Control Test

on the next page.

7. You may notice there is quite a bit of down thrust when looking

at the prop/prop shaft. This is intentional and is not a sign of

damage.

Adult Supervision Required

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller and hold the

plane securely. A moving propeller can cause severe injury.

Step 4

Tail Control Test

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting

the control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor.

1.Be certain that the throttle stick is in the “Off” position.

2.Move the right stick from side to side. The rudder should move

per your transmitter input.

3.Move the right stick full forward. When this is done, the elevator

control surface should move down.

4.Pull the right stick back and the elevator control surface should

move upward.

5.If your airplane is not responding correctly to the transmitter

input, do not fly! Some correction is needed. Call the Horizon

Support Team at 1-877-504-0233.

6.When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect the flight

battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This should be done

each time you turn off the airplane.

Note: It is very important to make sure that the control surfaces

(rudder and elevator) are at 0 degrees when the right transmitter

stick is centered.

Step 5

Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces

1.Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator

to neutral (zero degrees) when the right transmitter stick is

centered, should be possible using the digital trim buttons.

2.If you find this is not the case, do not fly until this has been

corrected.

3.If corrections are needed, you may have to adjust the length

of the pushrod by gently stretching or pinching the bend in the

control wire as necessary. You can also change the hole of the

control horn the pushrod goes into to achieve more control. We

suggest you fly it first as it has come from the factory and then

only move “in” one hole at a time.

Step 6

Flying

Choose a Large, Open Flying Site

Always choose a wide-open space for ﬂying your ParkZone Cessna

210 Centurion. It is ideal for you to ﬂy in an indoor location with a

ﬂoor area of 40’ x 40’ and and a minimum ceiling height of 20 feet.

We suggest that ﬁrst ﬂights are done in a larger area, such as in a

basketball court or gymnasium.

If you choose to make your ﬂights outdoors, the conditions MUST

be COMPLETELY CALM. The Cessna 210 Centurion weighs less than

1 ounce and can easily be blown away. If you choose to ﬂy outdoors,

remember to always keep the plane upwind from you to avoid ﬂyaways.

Make certain that you do not ﬂy near trees, buildings, or other areas

that can restrict your view or interfere with your ﬂying.

Step 7

Range Test

You will need two people to perform the range test: one to hold the

plane and the other to give transmitter input.

Warning: The person holding the plane should hold it in a way

so that the propeller does not come in contact with any part of

their clothing or body.

1. One person holds the transmitter, while the other person walks

50–100 paces away with the airplane.

2. Be sure the throttle is in the “Off” position.

3. Turn the transmitter on.

4. Plug the airplane battery into the fuselage.

5. As soon as the throttle slider is advanced, the propeller should

spin quickly.

6. As the first person moves the transmitter controls at the same

time, the other person watches to be sure the airplane’s motor

and tail controls operate smoothly.

Step 8

Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio Control Pilot

VERY IMPORTANT

The 3-channel control system is designed for the experienced radio

control pilot and is not intended for the ﬁrst-time ﬂyer. It is best

to have HobbyZone®Zone 2 experience. First-time pilots of the

ParkZone Cessna 210 Centurion should seek the assistance

of an experienced RC ﬂyer until the additional third channel, pitch

control, has been competently mastered. Crash damage is not

covered under the warranty.

Step 9

Hand Launching the Cessna 210 Centurion

1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3. Plug in the aircraft battery

4. Test the motor and surface controls.

5. While holding the transmitter in one hand, push the throttle stick

to full on (up) with thumb.

6. Launch using light force. Keep the wings level. Do not throw it up

or down. Point it level (parallel) with the ground when releasing.

Step 10

Runway Takeoff

1. Prior to attempting a runway takeoff, you should have had

several successful flights of hand launching the Cessna 210

Centurion.

2. Make certain the aircraft battery is fully charged.

3. Turn on transmitter.

4. Plug in aircraft battery.

5. Stand behind the Cessna 210 Centurion. Make certain you are

on a smooth surface such as concrete or wood.

6. Apply full throttle and adjust the right stick so that you keep your

Cessna 210 Centurion on its intended path.

7. If the battery is fully charged, you should be able to lift off

the ground in a few feet. As you notice the back of the plane

beginning to lift a bit off the ground, apply some “up” elevator

by pulling back on the right stick. Do not give too much “up”

elevator, or you can cause the airplane to enter into a stall.

Step 11

Flying

1. After launching, your Cessna 210 Centurion will climb at full

throttle. Keep the throttle full on until you have reached a safe

altitude. At this same time, make sure that you are continuing

to keep the airplane directed into the wind.

2. Make right and left adjustments as necessary to keep the plane

headed on its intended path. After you have reached 4–6 feet

of altitude, you can begin to make directional changes that you

desire.

3. Remember – the Cessna 210 Centurion is a small, lightweight

aircraft. Do not allow the plane to get too far away from you.

When the plane is farther away from you it is harder

to see and could cause you to lose orientation.

4. Avoid holding the stick full right or left for more than two

seconds, as this will cause the plane to enter a spiral and could

threaten your Cessna 210 Centurion.

5. Do not try to climb too fast by pulling all the way back on the

stick (up elevator), or your plane may enter into a stall. Instead,

climb by giving small amounts of elevator.

6. Damage/bends to the wings or tail can greatly affect flight

control. Repair or replace the damaged parts immediately.

Sharp Turns

In order to make a sharper turn, move the stick in the desired

direction and add some up elevator (pull back on stick). The plane

will make a sharper banking turn.

Note: With the throttle set at low or off (gliding), the plane will not

turn as fast as when you are flying at or near full throttle.

Rudder Trim

If the model wants to constantly turn one direction, use the digital trim

buttons to correct (see drawing). Your Cessna 210 Centurion should

ﬂy straight with the control stick at neutral.
