Measurements are taken at the inner or
widest point on the control surface.
These are general guidelines measured from our own
flight tests. You can experiment with higher rates to
match your preferred style of flying.
Travel Adjust and Sub-Trims are not listed
and should be adjusted according to each
individual model and preference.
We highly recommend re-binding the radio
system once all the control throws are set. This will
keep the servos from moving to their endpoints
until the transmitter and receiver connect.
Preflight
Check Your Radio
Before going to the field, be sure your batteries are
fully charged per the instructions included with your
radio. Charge the transmitter and motor battery
for your airplane. Use the recommended charger
supplied with your particular radio system, following
the instructions provided with the radio. In most
cases, the radio should be charged the night before
going out flying.
Before each flying session, be sure to range check your
radio. See your radio manual for the recommended
range and instructions for your radio system. Each
radio manufacturer specifies different procedures for
their radio systems. Next, run the motor. With the
model securely anchored, check the range again.
The range test should not be significantly affected. If
it is, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment
checked out by the manufacturer.
Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder
and throttle) move in the correct direction.
Check the radio installation and make sure all the
control surfaces are moving correctly (i.e., the correct
direction and with the recommended throws).
Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises
to make sure they are secure and in good condition.
Range Test Your Radio
Before each flying session, and especially with a new
model, it is important to perform a range check. It
is helpful to have another person available to assist
during the range check. If you are using a Spektrum
transmitter, please refer to your transmitter’s manual for
detailed instructions on the range check process.
 1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30
paces (approximately 90 feet) away from the model.
 2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal
flying position. Be sure the throttle is in the full down
position and plug the flight battery into the speed
control.
 3. As you move the controls, watch to be sure the
airplane’s motor and controls operate smoothly. You
should have total control of the model at 30 paces
(90 feet).
 4. If control issues exist, call the appropriate
Horizon Product Support office (see page 43) or
go to horizonhobby.com to find a local Spektrum
distributor in your country for service if using a
Spektrum radio system.
