IDENTIFY YOUR MODEL
No matter if you fly at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or
if you fly somewhere on your own, you should always have
your name, address, telephone number and AMA number on
or inside your model. It is required at all AMA R/C club flying
sites and AMA sanctioned flying events. Fill out the identifi-
cation tag on the decal sheet and place it on or inside your
model.
CHARGE THE BATTERIES
Follow the battery charging instructions that came with your
radio control system to charge the batteries. You should always
charge your transmitter and receiver batteries the night before
you go flying and at other times as recommended by the radio
manufacturer.
NOTE:
Checking the condition of your receiver battery pack is
highly recommended
. All battery packs, whether it's a trusty
pack you've just taken out of another model, or a new battery
pack you just purchased, should be cycled, noting the discharge
capacity. Oftentimes, a weak battery pack can be identified (and
a valuable model saved!) by comparing its actual capacity to its
rated capacity. Refer to the instructions and recommendations
that come with your cycler. If you don't own a battery cycler,
perhaps you can have a friend cycle your pack and note the
capacity for you. gemessenen. Hier können große Unterschiede

Note:
Do not rely upon the adhesive on the back of the
lead weight to permanently hold it in place. Over time, the
adhesive may softern and cause the weight to fall off. Use
#2 sheet metal screws, RTV silicone or epoxy to permanently
hold the weight in place.
❍
4. IMPORTANT: If you found it necessary to add any
weight, recheck the C.G. after the weight has been
installed.
BALANCE THE MODEL LATERALLY
❏
❏ ❏
1. With the wing level, have an assistant help you lift
the model by the engine propeller shaft and the bottom of the
fuse under the TE of the fin. Do this several times.
❏
❏ ❏
2. If one wing always drops when you lift the model,
it means that side is heavy. Balance the airplane by adding
weight to the other wing tip. An airplane that has been laterally
balanced will track better in loops and other maneuvers.
SET THE CONTROL THROWS
Use a ruler to accurately measure and set the control throw
of each control surface as indicated in the chart that follows.
If your radio does not have dual rates, we recommend setting
the throws at the low rate settings.
NOTE:
The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
