CONTROLS:
If your transmitter has expo, set the ailerons to at least –40
starting out. As you gain experience with the Blitzer, you may
reduce this.
Set the elevator to –10 expo for starters.
84) Install the elevator pushrod into the fuselage from the hole on
the left rear fuselage toward the servo. The Z-bend end gets
inserted into the servo arm in the middle position. Put the EZ-
connector into the farthest-in position on the elevator control
arm. Install the arm on the servo and use the radio to set the
servo to the neutral position. When done, tighten the setscrew on the EZ connector. Trim off all except
about 3/8” of pushrod to leave a little adjustment.
It doesn’t take a lot of elevator control. 3/16” up and 3/16” down travel is adequate.
85) Mount the receiver with servo tape or Velcro inside the cabin. Thread the antenna out through the hole on
the bottom of the fuselage. Tape it into place where it exits, and at the very back of the plane. This will
keep it out of your way when flying.
86) Attach the ESC to the motor, then mount the motor, prop and spinner. Leave a small gap (about 1/32”)
between the spinner and the fuselage.
87) Look inside the fuselage and you will see two arrows on the fuselage sides indicating the balance point.
Balance the airplane at this point by sliding the battery pack fore/aft. When you have achieved a good
balance, Velcro the battery pack in place.
It is our experience that the batteries will need to be as far forward as possible due to the short nose of this
plane.
