1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center
the trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms
from the servos and reposition them so they are
centered. Reinstall the screws that hold on the
servo arms.
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all
the control surfaces to see if they are centered. If
necessary, adjust the clevises on the pushrods to
center the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the
electric motor respond in the correct direction as
shown in the diagram. If any of the controls
respond in the wrong direction, use the servo
reversing in the transmitter to reverse the ser-
vos connected to those controls. Be certain the
control surfaces have remained centered. Ad-
just if necessary.
Attention!!
Never try the function and working direction
of electric motors with mounted propeller!
During the last few moments of preparation
your mind may be elsewhere anticipating
the excitement of the first flight. Because of
this, you may be more likely to overlook
certain checks and procedures that should
be performed before the model is flown. To
help avoid this, a checklist is provided to
make sure these important areas are no
overlooked. Many are covered in the in-
struction manual, so where appropriate,
refer to the manual for complete instruc-
tions. Be sure to check the items off as they
are completed (that's why it's called a check
list!).
● 1. Check the C.G. according to the measure-
ments provided in the manual.
●
2. Be certain the battery and receiver are
securely mounted in the fuse. Simply stuffing
them into place with foam rubber is not suffi-
cient.
●
3. Look for a correct position of your receiver
antenna or antennas. The antenna should
not be close to other wires inside the fuse-
lage.
●
4. Balance your model also laterally.
● 5. Use threadlocking compound to secure
critical fasteners such as the set screws that
hold the wheel axles to the struts, screws
that hold the carburetor arm (if applicable),
screw-lock pushrod connectors, etc.
● 7. Make sure all hinges are securely glued in
place.
● 8. Reinforce holes for wood screws with thin
CA where appropriate (servo mounting
screws, cowl mounting screws, etc.).
●
9. Confirm that all controls operate in the
correct direction and the throws are set up
according to the manual.
