1. Carefully hook up your servos to the receiver as shown
in the instructions included with your radio. Also hook
up your battery and switch. If you haven’t already done
so, charge your batteries (both transmitter and receiver)
per the radio instructions.
❑
2. Remove all four servo horns from the servos. Center
the trims on the transmitter and move the throttle to the
middle position. Turn on the transmitter and then the
receiver. Now reinstall the servo horns with the radio
on, making sure each is perpendicular to the fuselage
or wing. Reinstall the servo horn screws and make any
minor adjustments necessary to the length of the
pushrods so that all the control surfaces are neutral
when the trims on the transmitter are centered.
❑
3. Check the throttle stroke. At full throttle the carburetor
barrel should be fully open but not binding. At low
throttle, middle trim position, the carburetor barrel
should be open 1/16”. Adjust the linkage until this is
achieved. If you need a longer stroke, move the push
rod one hole out on the screw. If less stroke is needed,
move the push rod in one hole.
Important:
It may be necessary to reverse the throttle reversing
switch if the carburetor works in reverse (e.g., full
throttle closes the carburetor).
❑
4. Cut out the control throw gauges in the back of this
manual. Then place the elevator gauge on the elevator.
Give a full up elevator command and notice how far the
elevator moves. It should move up 1/4” and down
1/4”. If necessary, move the clevis in on the elevator to
achieve more throw, or out to achieve less throw.
❑
5. Do the same with the aileron gauge and the rudder
gauge. Adjust the control throw to the indicated values:
aileron 1/4” up, 1/4” down; rudder 1/4” right, 1/4” left.
