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 and that both trim levers are centered.

2. Switch on the transmitter and check to make sure

the LED is lit, indicating the transmitter has power.

3. Install the flight battery into the fuselage and plug

it into the battery connector.

4. Move the stick from side to side. The ailerons on

the trailing edge of the wings should move per

your transmitter input. When the stick is pushed to

the right, the right aileron should deflect upward

and the left aileron downward, and vice versa.

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).

7. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect

the flight battery first, and 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 are at 0 degrees when the transmit-

ter control stick and trim levers are centered.

(See Steps 5 and 8 for making needed adjustments

to control surfaces.)

If your airplane is not responding correctly to the

transmitter input, do not fly! Some correction is

needed. Call the Horizon Support Team line at

1-877-504-0233.

Step 7

Making Adjustments to the Ailerons

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller

before adjusting the ailerons in the event that you

accidentally turn on the motor.

You may find some adjustment is needed to prop-

erly trim the ailerons. The ailerons are properly

trimmed when each aileron is level with the station-

ary wing surface. To do this, follow these simple

instructions:

Step 8

1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the “off”

position and then turn on the transmitter.

2. Install the flight battery and plug it into the lead

from the fuselage.

3. Most trim adjustments to the ailerons can be

made with the aileron trim levers on the trans-

mitter. Make sure the gimbal (stick) is at neutral

prior to making any trim changes.
