SAILING
Following the procedures to check the radio and sailboat’s function: (MODE 2 as example)
1. FOCUS V2 RTR is supplied with 2.4GHz 4CH radio system. For sailing the FOCUS V2, you will only need 2CH.
Please see following function of the transmitter.
2. For sail control stick, when stick is in the position of A, correspondingly, the main boom and jib boom are in the
position of A as shown. When stick is in the position of B, correspondingly, the main boom and jib boom are in the
position of B as shown. If this is not the case, simply move the sail servo reverse switch to the other position. You
may also adjust the sail servo neutral by pressing the sail neutral position trim button up or down.
3. For rudder control stick, rudder turn left when rudder control stick is pushed to the left. Rudder turn right when rudder
control stick is pushed to the right. If this is not the case, simply move the rudder servo reverse switch to the other
position. You may also adjust the rudder servo neutral by pressing the rudder neutral position trim button left or right
4. Use supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust the rudder dual rate, this is to adjust the rudder throw angle from the
centreline in either direction when the rudder control stick is moved to it’s maximum throws. Refer to FOCUS V2
boat manual for the rudder throw angle.
5. Use supplied plastic screwdriver to adjust the throttle dual rate. This is to adjust the winch line travel distance
between the fully sheeted in position (for sailing ‘close hauled’ - close to the wind) and fully sheeted out position (for
sailing on a ‘run’ - sailing in the same direction as the wind with the sails fully out). Refer to FOCUS V2 boat
manual for the winch line travel distance.
Before sailing your FOCUS V2 for the first time, take note of the following:
1. Always turn the transmitter on before the receiver, likewise, turn the receiver off before the transmitter.
2. Check that each sail, rigging rings and fitting is properly installed and adjusted
3. Switch off “MXMD” button on top position, because FOCUS V2 don’t need mix control function.
