Step 4

Tail Control Test

Warning:

 Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting 

the control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor.

. Be certain that the throttle stick is in the “Off” position.  

2. Move the right stick from side to side. The rudder should move 

per your transmitter input.

3. Move the right stick full forward. When this is done, the elevator 

control surface should move down.

4. Pull the right stick back and the elevator control surface should 

move upward.

5. If your airplane is not responding correctly to the transmitter 

input, do not fly! Some correction is needed. Call the Horizon 

Support Team at -877-504-0233.

6. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect the flight 

battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This should be done 

each time you turn off the airplane.

Note:

  It is very important to make sure that the control surfaces 

(rudder and elevator) are at 0 degrees when the right transmitter 

stick is centered.

Step 5

Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces

. Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator 

to neutral (zero degrees) when the right transmitter stick is 

centered, should be possible using the digital trim buttons.

2. If you find this is not the case, do not fly until this has been 

corrected.

3. If corrections are needed, you may have to adjust the length 

of the pushrod by gently stretching or pinching the bend in the 

control wire as necessary. You can also change the hole of the 

control horn the pushrod goes into to achieve more control. We
