q
Double-check that your transmitter landing gear (retract) switch is in the
'Gear Up' position.
q
If your transmitter features electronic servo centreing (CNT), make sure it
is set to 0% for the aileron and landing gear channels.
q
If your transmitter features end point adjustment (EPA), make sure it is set
to 00% in both directions for the aileron and landing gear channels.
q
Plug the aileron servo wire from the wing into the aileron servo wire extension
lead in the fuselage, making sure that the polarity is correct.
q
Plug the landing gear servo wire from the wing into the landing gear servo
wire extension lead in the fuselage, making sure that the polarity is correct.
q
Push the excess servo wires into the forward section of the fuselage, then
set the wing into the wing saddle, making sure that no part of the servo
wires are pinched between the wing saddle and the wing.
q
Secure the wing to the fuselage, using the three nylon screws provided.
IMPORTANT
Don't overtighten the nylon screws. They need only be
tightened snugly.
LeaRninG to fLY YoUR p-40 WaRHaWK ep RR
Before actually flying your P-40 Warhawk EP RR you should understand how the aircraft is controlled. Below we list the five flight modes:
climb:
Climbing is controlled by pushing the throttle control stick on your transmitter completely forward to turn on the motor, then by
pulling back on the elevator control stick. When you push forward on the throttle control stick, the motor will turn on. When you pull back
on the elevator control stick, the elevator will move up, causing the aircraft to pitch up and climb.
Descent:
Descent is also controlled by the throttle and elevator control sticks. When you pull the throttle control stick all the way back,
the motor will turn off and the aircraft will begin to descend. To make the aircraft descend more, you can also push forward on the elevator
control stick. This will make the elevator move down, causing the aircraft to pitch down and descend more quickly.
Right turn:
A right turn is made by moving the aileron control stick. This is the same stick as the elevator control stick, only it moves
right and left. When you move the aileron control stick to the right, the right-side aileron moves up and the left-side aileron moves down,
causing the aircraft to bank and turn right.
Left turn:
A left turn is made by moving the aileron control stick. When you move the aileron control stick to the left, the left-side aileron
moves up and the right-side aileron moves down, causing the aircraft to bank and turn left.
Yaw Right and Left:
The aircraft can be made to yaw right or left (i.e., move the nose of the aircraft right or left with minimal bank) by
using the rudder control stick. This is the same stick as the throttle control stick, only it moves right and left. When you move the rudder control
stick to the right, the rudder moves right, causing the nose of the aircraft to move to the right. When you move the rudder control stick to
the left, the rudder moves left, causing the nose of the aircraft to move to the left. The rudder is used to steer the aircraft on the ground
and for making coordinated turns, and during aerobatics.
