INPUT POWER
Five “AA” batteries are required to power the Tx
(not included with individual radio systems). Non-
rechargeable 1.5V alkaline, or 1.2V rechargeable
nickel-cadmium (NiCd) or nickel-metal hydride
(NiMH) cells can be used. Do not mix cell types,
old and new cells, etc. See the SERVOS AND
ACCESSORIES section on page 12 for optional
products available at local hobby retailers.
Slide the battery door down, and insert the cells. Make sure to note proper
polarity for each cell. Reinstall the battery door.
POWER LED, and LOW BATTERY ALARM
The power LED should light when the power switch is moved upwards to the on
position. The Tx should have adequate power for fl ight when the LED is on
constantly. Anytime the LED begins to fl ash, accompanied by an audible tone,
the Tx battery voltage has dropped too low and operation of the model should
NOT be attempted!
WARNING!
Never operate an R/C model with weak Tx batteries!
Reduced operational range and/or possible loss of control of the
aircraft could result. Replace weak alkaline batteries, or re-charge
NiCd or NiMH batteries before attempting a fl ight!
If during a fl ight audible tones sound and the power LED starts to fl ash the Tx
batteries have become weak and the aircraft should be landed as soon as possible!
AILERON (CH1)
Controls the moveable surfaces at the trailing edge of the main wings to rotate the
airplane about the “roll” axis (an imaginary line which extends from the airplane’s
nose to the tail). Since every airplane is different, the direction of movement for
the aileron channel may need to be reversed so that moving the aileron stick to
the right will cause the airplane’s right aileron to defl ect up, thus causing the right
wing to drop and the airplane will bank to the right. Moving the aileron stick to the
left will cause the airplane’s left wing to drop and the airplane will bank to the left.
This is one important method for turning the aircraft. When the Tx is set to the 3ch
confi guration the aileron channel will not be used.
ELEVATOR (CH2)
Controls the moveable horizontal surfaces on the airplane’s tail to rotate the airplane
about the “pitch” axis (an imaginary line extending through the center of both main
wings, from one wing tip to the other wing tip). The direction of movement for the elevator
channel may need to be reversed so that pulling the elevator stick back (towards you) will
cause the elevator to defl ect up, thus causing the nose of the airplane to rise. Pushing
the elevator stick forward (away from you) will cause the nose of the airplane to drop.
