Control Adjustments
Charge your battery.
Be aware that Lithium Polymer (Lipo) type batteries need a
dedicated type of charger, set to the correct charging current and voltage
depending on the cell count and capacity. Check the manufacturers instructions,
ignoring these instructions may have serious consequences!
Do not mount the propellor as yet. Loosen the set screws on the pushrod connectors.
Switch on your transmitter. Connect the battery to the ESC. The built-in BEC will supply
power to the receiver and the servos. Bind your receiver to the transmitter per the
manufacturers instructions of your RC set. Check that the servo arms are in their neutral
position, i.e. at right angles to the pushrods. If this is not the case, adjust the electronic
trims of your transmitter (a.k.a. ”Sub Trims”). For large adjustments, you will have to
remove the arm by undoing the mounting screw and reposition it on the splines of the
servo drive end. Manually position the control surfaces until they are inline with the fin/
stabiliser surfaces and fasten the set screws in the pushrod connectors.
Check the ESC instructions how to adjust your ESC to the throttle settings of your
transmitter. Finally, mount the propellor on the motor shaft with an appropriate adaptor.
