❏
9. Cut the excess plastic away from the spinner at the
molded-in cut line. Trim the spinner to fit the propeller. Do
this by removing a small amount of material at a time until
you have a good fit.
❏
10. Secure the spinner to the prop adapter with the 2 x
15mm machine screw.
IMPORTANT: Whenever connecting the battery always hold
onto the fuselage in case the motor accidentally comes on
and the propeller turns.
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and connect the battery to the
speed control in the model. Be certain the rudder, elevator
and motor respond as shown in the chart. If required, use
the reversing function in the transmitter to reverse any
controls necessary so they respond correctly.
❏
2. Use the ATV function in the transmitter or adjust the
position of the pushrods on the servo arms or the control
horns on the elevator and rudder to get the control surface
throws shown in the chart that follows. The throws are
measured at the widest part of the control surface.
❏
3. To increase the control surface throw, move the pushrod
to the hole that is closer-in on the control horn on the control
surface, or move the pushrod to the hole that is farther out
on the servo arm. To decrease the control surface throw, do
the opposite.
Note: Unless you are specifically checking the operation
of the motor, for safety remove the propeller from the
model while setting it up on your workbench.
