Check Control Surface Directions

The second thing that has to be done is to make sure all 
the control surfaces move in the correct direction. If any of 
the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the servo 
reversing function of the transmitter (consult the radio system 
instructions included with this kit), to reverse the servos 
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces 
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.

WARNING: 

Run the motor outside only, and never run the 

motor in an area of loose gravel or sand; the propeller may 
throw such material in your face or eyes. Keep these items 
away from the prop: loose clothing, shirt sleeves, ties, scarves, 
long hair or loose objects such as pencils, or screwdrivers 
that may fall out of shirt or jacket pockets into the prop.

❏ 

1. Move the right control stick on the transmitter to the 

right. Observe the direction the ailerons move. The right 
aileron should move up and the left aileron should move 
down. Moving the control stick to the left should make the 
ailerons move the opposite way. 

❏ 

2. Move the right stick down and observe the direction 

the elevator moves. Moving the right stick down should make 
both elevators move up. 

❏ 

3. Move the left stick to the left and confi rm that the rudder 

moves to the left. Moving the stick to the right should make 
the rudder (and the nose wheel) move to the right.
