Section Four: Final Assembly and Adjustments
This version requires that you have a transmitter with matching receiver, as well as a power battery and appropriate charger. Follow the manufacturer’s
instructions for the installation of your radio equipment.
1.
Installing the Receiver: Using Velcro or double sided servo tape mount your receiver in the fuselage just slight aft of center in the canopy
opening of the fuselage route the antennas as specified by the manufacturer.
2. Plug in the Elevator, to the appropriate channels of the receiver.
3. Plug the signal wire of the ESC into the throttle channel of the receiver.
4. Install the fully charged power battery into the nose of the Sky Scout pushing it in as far forward as possible. (Page 9, Fig. 1)
5. Turn on the transmitter and set the throttle stick to the lowest limit. Connect the flight battery to HM18A ESC installed in the plane. If it is
connected correctly, the ESC will beep once or twice and automatically recognize the throttle.
Note: If the ESC does not beep, check to make sure the throttle is in the down (off) position. To reset the ESC unplug the battery for
5 seconds before trying it again.
6. Wiggle the Rudder and Elevator sticks to make sure everything is operating properly. Once you have verified they are working set the trims
to their neutral positions.

CAUTION: We recommend the Hitec HLP-3/1300S - 1300mAh 11.1V Li-Po battery. If using another battery, the battery must be a 11.1 Volt
battery with a minimum capacity of 1300mAh. The battery should be approximately the dimensions and weight as the recommended Hitec
battery in order to fit in the fuselage without significantly changing the center of gravity.
