Control test – ParkZone PKZ3680 User Manual

You must test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of the

servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling and

that the controls function in the correct directions.

Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick completely. Then,

plug the battery into the battery lead of the receiver unit.

Note: The connectors on the battery and battery lead are keyed to

prevent reverse polarity connection. However, if you force them

together in the wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity it is

still possible to damage the battery and/or receiver unit. To help

further prevent a reverse polarity connection, one side of the end

cap on the battery and the connector on the battery lead of the

receiver unit will have a red dot. The connectors are oriented for a

proper polarity connection when the red dots are on the same side.

Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and aft to check

elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the elevator should

move down.

Control Test

When the elevator stick is moved aft the elevator should move up.

Move the aileron stick left and right to check aileron roll control. When the

stick is pushed to the left, the left aileron should move up and the right aileron

should move down.
