FLIGHT PREPARATION.
4) By moving the position of the adjust-
able control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
control surface. Moving the adjustable con-
trol horn toward the control surface will in-
crease the amount of throw.
CONTROL THROWS.
1) We highly recommend setting up the
LASER 200
using the control throws listed at
right. We have listed control throws for both
Low Rate (initial test flying/sport flying) and
High Rate (aerobatic flying).
2) Turn on the radio system, and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
to the clevises or adjustable servo connec-
tors. The servo arms should be centered also.
3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in each
surface.
The control throws should be
measured at the widest point of each sur-
face!
INITIAL FLYING/SPORT FLYING
Ailerons high rate -3/8” up -3/8” down
Ailerons low rate -3/16” up - 3/16” down
Elevator high rate - 7/8” up -7/8” down
Elevator low rate -3/8’ up - 3/8” down
Rudder high rate -1 1/4” left and right
Rudder low rate - 3/4” left and right
Do not use the aerobatic settings for
initial test flying or sport flying.
B) Check the elevator first. Pull back
on the elevator stick. The elevator halves
should move up. If it they do not, flip the servo
reversing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
D) Check the throttle. Moving the
throttle stick forward should open the carbu-
retor barrel. If it does not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
E) From behind the airplane, look at
the aileron on the right wing half. Move the
aileron stick to the right. The right aileron
should move up and the other aileron should
move down. If it does not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
C) Check the rudder. Looking from
behind the airplane, move the rudder stick to
the right. The rudder should move to the right.
If it does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
PREFLIGHT CHECK.
1) Completely charge your transmitter
and receiver batteries before your first day of
flying.
2) Check every bolt and every glue joint
in the
LASER 200
to ensure that everything is
tight and well bonded.
3) Double check the balance of the air-
plane. Do this with the fuel tank empty.
4) Check the control surfaces. All should
move in the correct direction and not bind in
any way.
8) Properly balance the propeller. An out
of balance propeller will cause excessive vi-
bration which could lead to engine and/or air-
frame failure.
5) If your radio transmitter is equipped
with dual rate switches double check that they
are on the low rate setting for your first few
flights.
6) Check to ensure the control surfaces
are moving the proper amount for both low
and high rate settings.
7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable
flights with your
LASER 200
.
Check the operation and direction of the
elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle.
A) Plug in your radio system per the
manufacturer's instructions and turn every-
thing on.
