Step 6
Tail Control Test
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting
the control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the
motor.
1. Be certain that the throttle slider is in the “Off”
position. Make certain both trim levers are centered.
2. Switch on the transmitter-check to make sure the
LED is lit indicating the TX has power. Make certain
that both trim levers are centered.
3. The flight battery should already be installed in the
fuse. Plug the battery to the connector.
4. Move the stick from side to side. The rudder should
move per your transmitter input.
5. Pull the stick back and the elevator control surface
should move upward (as shown).
6. Move the stick full forward. When this is done,
the elevator control surface should move down
(as shown).
If your airplane is not responding correctly to the
transmitter input, do not fly! Some correction is
needed. Call the Horizon Product Support Group at
1-877-504-0233.
7. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect the
flight battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This
should be done each time you turn off the airplane.
Note: It is very important to make sure that the
control surfaces (rudder and elevator) are at
0 degrees when the transmitter control stick and
trim levers are centered.
