FINAL CONTROL SET UP

Your FlyLite is nearly complete, but fi rst there a few last-
minute procedures.

Center the Control Surfaces

INDOOR SETUP

Centered/Neutral

Down Trim

3/16"

[4.8mm]

OUTDOOR SETUP

1. Turn on your transmitter and connect the battery to the

ESC in the plane. Being certain the trims on your transmitter
are still centered, center the elevator. Then use needle-nose
pliers or hemostats to hold the screw-lock connector while
tightening the screw to lock the pushrod down. Note: If
fl ying your FlyLite outdoors, rather than having the elevator
centered, it should have approximately 3/16" [5mm] of down
trim. This will allow your FlyLite to fl y level when fl ying at
faster speeds typically used outdoors.

Centered/Neutral

2. Same as was done in the previous step for the elevator,

center the rudder and tighten the screw in the screw-lock
connector to lock the pushrod down.

Check the Control Direction

Move control stick right

Rudder moves right

Pull control stick back

Elevator moves up

Operate the controls on the transmitter to make certain

the elevator and rudder respond in the correct direction. If
necessary, reverse the servo reversing in your transmitter to
get the controls to respond the right way.
