• After launching your boat, check to see that it is
running straight.
• If your Zig Zag Racer
™
always turns to the right
when rudder stick is at neutral (centered), move the
trim lever below the stick to the left until it drives
straight. See drawing #1.
• If the boat always turns to the left when the rudder
stick is at neutral, move the trim lever to the right
until it drives straight. See drawing #2.
• If the boat still turns in one direction after moving
the trim lever the full amount in the opposite direc-
tion, you will need to adjust the rudder linkage wire.
If the boat still turns to the left, use your fingers to
bend a greater angle in the wire.
If the boat still turns
to the right, use your
fingers or a pair of
pliers to slightly
straighten the wire.
