Camber-changing flaps
10 mm down
During out test-flights with the ASW 28 using the retractable power system, we found
that it was advisable to mix in 3 mm of up-elevator and 3 mm of down-flap when
power was applied for take-off and climb.
The stated control surface travels are only a recommendation, and you will probably
want to adjust them to suit your personal flying style.
Important:
When installing and setting up the control surface linkages it is vital to ensure that
they work smoothly, are able to carry out their full movement - including trim travel -
without being impeded, and are not mechanically obstructed at any point.
When you move the rudder stick to the right, the rudder should also deflect to the
right (left stick: left rudder). If you pull the elevator stick back towards you, the eleva-
tor should deflect up (stick forward: elevator down).
Move the aileron stick to the right, and the right-hand aileron should deflect up, the
left-hand aileron down. The airbrakes should extend out of the wings when the throt-
tle stick (ratchet action) is moved back towards you, and close at the opposite end-
point.
For “thermal” and “speed” flying we recommend that you assign the wing flap settings
to a three-position toggle switch: “switch forward” equates to “speed”, “switch centre”
means “normal flying”, while “switch back” selects the “thermal” setting.
Do not extend the airbrakes too far too quickly, as they are extremely effective. For a
normal landing approach they only need to be extended by around 5 mm.
Now all that remains is for all of us to wish you many hours of pleasure flying your
new ASW 28.

Be sure to read right through the instructions covering assembly and operation
of your model before you attempt to operate it for the first time. You alone are
responsible for the safe operation of your radio-controlled model. Young peo-
ple should only be permitted to build and fly this model under the instruction
and supervision of an adult who is aware of the hazards involved in this activ-
ity.
If you have questions regarding the safe operation of your RC model aircraft,
please turn to your local model shop in the first instance, as the staff will be
pleased to help you.
Radio-controlled model aircraft are very demanding and potentially dangerous
machines, and call for a high level of technical knowledge and skill from the
operator, together with a responsible attitude.
