Before the fi rst fl ights, or in the event of an 
accident, make sure control surfaces are 
centered when the transmitter controls and 
trims are neutral. The transmitter sub-trim must 
be set to zero.

 Adjust the linkages mechanically 

if the control surfaces are not centered. Use of the 
transmitter sub-trims may not correctly center the 
aircraft control surfaces due to the mechanical 
limits of linear servos.

 
• Make the U-shape narrower to make the 

connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to 
make the linkage longer.

• Ensure that the leading edge of both the 

horizontal stabilizers are 1mm above the lower 
edge of the side panel, as shown in the image to 
the right.

Control Centering

Factory Control Horn Settings

The illustration shows the factory settings for 
linkages on the control horns. Linkage connections 
on the control horns directly affect aircraft response.
