GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY
Check the Control Directions
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims.
If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and
reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws
that hold on the servo arms.
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary,
adjust the pushrod positions in the screw lock connectors to
center the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the throttle
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram.
If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use
the servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
Set the Control Throws
❏
1. Use a box or something similar to prop up the bottom
of the fuselage so the horizontal stabilizer and wing will be
level.
Measure the high rate elevator throw fi rst…
❏
2. Hold a ruler vertically on your workbench against the
widest part (front to back) of the trailing edge of the elevator.
Note the measurement on the ruler.
MOVE THE RULER FORWARD
❏
3. Move the elevator up with your transmitter and move
the ruler forward so it will remain contacting the trailing edge.
The distance the elevator moves up from center is the “up”
elevator throw. Measure the down elevator throw the same
way.
❏
4. Repeat this procedure for the remaining control surfaces.
