of the boat, some mixing of the control signals is required. The driving control
assembly carries out this mixing. All of the controls effect the operation of the
model by altering the resistance across one or more channels of the
transmitter.
Caution!
For correct operation of the model it is vital that the receiver and drive motors
in the boat are connected correctly with the correct polarity.
With the steering wheel in the centre position (and the console in the play
state) moving the forward/reverse control to the forward position alters both of
the models channels to forward. If the steering wheel is turned half way to the
right the right motor is stopped. This causes the boat to make a gentle turn. If
the steering wheel is turned completely to the right the right motor is set to
reverse causing the boat to turn in a decreasing arc until it is turning in its own
length. For a left turn the opposite actions occur. It should be noted that if the
steering wheel is turned to the right with the forward/reverse selector in
reverse the left hand motor is stopped or reversed. (The opposite to forward).
This arrangement makes the boat easier to control.
