1. You should be able to make any changes necessary
to bring both the rudder and the elevator to
neutral (zero degrees) by using the trim levers on
the transmitter. To do this, place the control stick at
center, and use the trim lever below the stick to
adjust the rudder (vertical surface) until it is in line
with the vertical fin. To adjust the elevator so it is in
line with the horizontal stabilizer, use the elevator
trim lever.
2. After making adjustments using the trim levers, if you
find you are unable to position the control surfaces at
neutral, do not fly until making corrections.
3. If corrections are needed and moving the trim
lever(s) is not adequate, you will need to perform the
following steps:
a. Turn on the transmitter.
b. Insert the battery pack into the fuselage and plug
the battery into the lead from the airplane.
c. Return the trim levers to center.
d. Remove the clevis from the control surface horn
and adjust the length of the pushrod by turning
the clevis in the appropriate direction. Turning
clockwise makes the pushrod shorter and
counterclockwise makes it longer.
Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces
6. If your airplane is not responding, DO NOT FLY IT!
Please refer to the Troubleshooting section at the
back of this manual for more information. If you still
need assistance, call the Horizon Support Team at

7. When satisfied your airplane is set up properly, you
can unplug the flight battery and then turn off the
transmitter. This should be done every time you have
finished flying.
Note: It is very important to make sure the control
surfaces (rudder and elevator) are at neutral, or 0
degrees. Ideally, they will be at neutral when the
levers are centered. The next step explains how to
make adjustments to the control surface.
