Control Direction Test

Before the fi rst fl ights, or in the event of an
accident, make sure the fl ight control surfaces
are centered.
Adjust the linkages mechanically if
the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the
transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the
aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical
limits of linear servos.


1. Make sure the control surfaces are neutral

when the transmitter controls and trims are

centered. The transmitter sub-trim must

always be set to zero.

2. When needed, use a pair of pliers to carefully

bend the metal linkage (see illustration).

3. Make the U-shape narrower to make the

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider

to make the linkage longer.
