Getting Started
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Connect the battery.
3. Power on the switch harness mounted under the deck hatch.
4. Perform a
CONTROL DIRECTION TEST
with the transmitter.
5. Launch the boat into the water and start sailing.
Install fully charged batteries in your boat and transmitter.
Make sure the boat is bound to the transmitter (otherwise,
bind the boat to the transmitter using the included
BINDING
instructions).
Make sure all linkages move freely on the boat.
Adjust the steering rate on your transmitter as desired.
Find a safe and open area of operation.
Plan a safe route for the water and wind conditions.
Control Direction Test
Perform a
CONTROL DIRECTION TEST
to see how quickly your
sailboat responds to transmitter controls. In gusty wind conditions,
knowing how fast your sailboat responds can make the difference
between easy sailing and sinking your boat.
Ensure your boat and transmitter are bound before performing these
tests (see
Binding
). Move the controls on the transmitter to ensure
the rudder and sails move correctly and in the proper direction. Ensure
the rudder moves freely and that the winch servo takes in and releases
control lines appropriately.
