Step 7

Range Checking your Radio System

After you have finished the final assembly, it is

time to range check the radio system within the

Bf-109G BNF.

Prior to Each Flying Session

• Turn on the transmitter prior to plugging in the flight

battery. With the airplane on the ground and motor

running, you should walk away approximately 100

feet and still have full control of all functions while

following the specific range test feature of your

DSM2 transmitter. If this is not the case, do not

fly! Call the Horizon Support Team at

1-877-504-0233.

• Always make sure that all controls are functioning per

the transmitter input that you are giving. This includes

ailerons, rudder, elevator and throttle.

• Always make sure you have fully charged the

transmitter batteries.

• Always remove the flight battery from the

airplane when you are done flying, or when you

are on the way to the flying field.

Control Direction Test

1. 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.

2. When the elevator stick is moved aft the elevator

should move up.

3. 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.

4. With the aileron stick pushed right, the right

aileron should move up and the left aileron should

move down.

5. Move the rudder stick left and right to check yaw

control. When the stick is pushed to the right the

rudder should also move to the right (if viewed from

behind the airplane).

6. With the rudder stick pushed to the left, the

rudder should move to the left (if viewed from behind

the airplane).

If at any time during the test the controls respond in

the opposite direction, it may be necessary to reverse/

change the direction of operation of the flight controls.

Follow your transmitter instructions to change the

direction of the various flight controls.
