ChECKING ThE RUDDER (MODE 1 AND 2)
 6. Mode 1 (Rudder/Elevator on left stick): Center
the rudder stick. Thread the clevis in or out on the
rudder pushrod until the rudder is aligned with the
fin as shown.
Mode 2 (Rudder/Throttle on left stick): Confirm the
rudder stick is in the down/throttle off position.
Thread the clevis in or out on the rudder pushrod
until the rudder is aligned with the fin as shown.
Centered
Right—Thread clevis out
Left—Thread clevis in
 7. Check the movement of the rudder using the
transmitter. When the rudder/throttle stick (left side
of the transmitter) is moved right, the rudder should
also move right.
When operating a Mode 2 transmitter (rudder/
throttle on left stick), be very careful that the
left stick is not moved forward when checking
the rudder. Moving the rudder stick forward
will result in the propeller spinning.
 8. Check the movement of the rudder using the
transmitter. When the left stick is moved left, the
rudder should also move left.
ChECKING ThE STEERING TRIM (MODE 1 AND 2)
Checking the steering trim must be done after the
aircraft has been flown and the rudder trimmed for
straight flight at the transmitter. The steering trim
is a mechanical adjustment and should never be
corrected using the rudder trim at the transmitter.
