Preparing to Fly

A.  Set the transmitter trim adjustment 

  levers (located beside and below the 

  stick assemblies) to their center 

  positions. 

Make sure the throttle stick is in the “down” 

  position! 

Turn on the transmitter, then the receiver. 

  DO NOT PUSH THE RED START BUTTON AT THIS 

  TIME! 

Adjust the control links (clevis) at the end of the elevator and 

  rudder pushrods, so that when inserted into the control horns, 

  both the control surfaces are level 

  (neutral) as shown in 

Figures 13A, 

  13B and 13C

. Turn the clevis 

  clockwise to shorten it and 

  counterclockwise to lengthen it.

Safety Start Switch

You’ll notice a red button located on the 

underside of the fuselage next to the on/off 

switch. This button must be pressed before 

power can be supplied to the motor. This 

safety switch exists so that radio interference 

or problems can be discovered without the 

motor starting unexpectedly. See 

Figure 12.

NOTE: Always turn the transmitter on fi rst, 

before turning on the receiver. Only push the 

red start button after you are certain that the 

radio is operating properly and you’re ready 

to fl y!
