Note
: Refer to the radio instructions for
specific information on transmitter setup.
Adjust both the Throttle and Steering trims to
the center position.
Turn on the transmitter, then the ESC power
switch. The ESC will beep until you squeeze
the throttle trigger, indicating full throttle. It
may be necessary to adjust the throttle trim
knob to stop the propeller from turning while
the throttle trigger is in the neutral position.
Adjust the rudder trim knob so that the
rudder is centered prior to operation. You
may adjust this control to make the boat run
straight during operation.
Ensure the antenna wire is properly
placed through the antenna tube. It
may be necessary to slightly pull the antenna
tube out to make certain the radio range
is sufficient.
To range check your model, collapse the
transmitter antenna and walk 10 paces
away from the boat. Confirm that you have
control of the boat by actuating the rudder. If
range is acceptable, extend the antenna and
continue with the preparation of your model.
