CHARGE THE BATTERIES
Follow the battery charging instructions in the
instruction manual that came with your radio control
system. You should always charge your batteries
the night before you fly.
Less
movement
Moving the clevis outward on the servo arm
results in more pushrod movement.
GROUND CHECK THE MODEL
Moving the clevis inward on the control horn
results in more throw.
The closer the Z-bend is to the base of the control
horn on the control surface, and/or the further the
pushrod is from the center of the servo arm (or
wheel), the more control throw you will have. To
decrease control throw, move the Z-bend on the
control horn outward, and/or move the pushrod on
the servo arm inward. Combinations of the above
arrangements will provide the control throw you
require. Of course, if your transmitter has ATV's
(adjustable travel volume), use them to fine-tune the
control throws.
Q 4. After you set the control throws and position
the pushrod connectors in the correct holes in the
servo wheels, securely fasten the pushrod connectors
to the servos with star washers on the bottom of both
connectors. Install the screws that hold the servo
wheels to the servos.
Inspect all nuts, screws and wheel collars. Make sure
you install the screw that holds the servo arm onto
the servos and the servo cords are securely
connected to the receiver.
If you are not thoroughly familiar with R/C models,
ask an experienced modeler to inspect your radio
installation and make sure the control surfaces
respond correctly. The engine must be "broken-in"
according to the manufacturer's recommendations
for break-in. Refer to the Engine Safety Precautions
on page 41 before you start your engine. After you
run the engine on the model make sure all screws
remain tight, the hinges are secure and the prop is
on tight.
GATHER YOUR TOOLS
Assemble a simple flight kit (a shoe box is fine to
start with) which should include a 1-1/2 volt starting
battery and glow plug clip, a "chicken stick" for
flipping the prop, fuel and fuel pump or other means
of filling the tank, a couple of small screwdrivers,
#64 rubber bands, spare props and glowplugs, a
pair of needle nose pliers and some CA for field
repairs. In addition to tools, you should also take
along some paper towels and spray window cleaner
to remove exhaust residue from the model (and your
