in your area for recycling options or proper disposal.
Above is a sketch detailing the layout and function
of the R/C system. It is important to understand the
principles of the system in order to operate your model
correctly.
Auto Cut-off: This unit monitors the battery voltage
and turns off the motor so that there will be enough
battery power to operate the radio while you glide and
land the airplane. A fully charged battery will allow
the motor to run about 3-4 minutes before turning off.
Charger: The device used to recharge batteries or
battery packs.
Control Horn: The arm which is mounted to a control
surface and attached to a pushrod.
Motor Unit: This is a geared motor that rotates the
prop to provide thrust.
NiCd Battery: Rechargeable batteries which are used
as power for the airplane.
Receiver (RX): The radio unit in the airplane which
receives the transmitter signal and relays the control to
the servos.
Servos: The electronic / mechanical device which
moves the control surfaces of the airplane according to
the commands of the transmitter / receiver.
Switch: Turns on the power to the receiver, servos and
motor.
Start Button: With the switch ON, this button is
pushed to start the motor. To turn off the motor, turn off
the switch.
Transmitter (Tx): This is the hand-held unit that sends
the signal to the receiver. As you move the stick on the
transmitter, the servos in the airplane will react
accordingly.
10A Fuse: This fuse is to protect the motor and
electronics from overload damage if the prop is
stopped abruptly with power on. If the motor won't
start, check this fuse first.
