CENTER THE SERVOS

CONNECT THE PUSHRODS

90 deg.

THE PUSHROD SHOULD

BE POSITIONED STRAIGHT     

OUT TO THE SIDE.

Turn on the transmitter switch. The lights on the

front will illuminate. If they don’t, make sure the
batteries are installed correctly.

Turn on the receiver switch on the fuselage. Do

not push the motor start button at this time.

Center the trim levers on the transmitter. They are

the small slide levers below and to the side of the
main gimbal (See page 4.) These levers adjust the
center point of the servos and will be used later to
fine tune the model in flight.

Looking down into the fuselage, make sure the

servo horns are positioned as shown in the sketch. If
not, remove the screws and reposition the horns so
that the pushrods are 90° to the servo. Reinstall the
servo horn screws.

With the radio system still turned on, attach the

pushrods to the control horns. Adjust the plastic
clevises if needed by screwing them in or out to get
the rudder and elevator centered properly.

Note: There are two servo accessory packs included.
These are not needed in this airplane, but are handy
if you ever use the radio in another model.

CHECK THE RADIO OPERATION

Test the radio control system by moving the gimbal stick on the transmitter.

The servos should move accordingly. If the movements of the control surfaces
are opposite, flip the reverse switches that are on the back of the transmitter.
Recheck operation.

A.  Move the stick to the right, the rudder will move to the right.
B.  Move the stick to the left, the rudder will move to the left.
