4. If any of the control throws require adjustment use the
programming in your transmitter to increase or decrease
the throws accordingly. If the programming isn’t enough or
if your radio doesn’t have adjustable throws, the pushrod
connectors on the servo arms can be relocated in different
holes inward or outward to increase or decrease the throw—
moving the pushrods
inward
on the servo arms
decreases
the throw and moving the pushrods

on the servo
arms
increases
the throw.
Motor and Prop Safety Precautions
Failure to follow these safety precautions may result in
severe injury to yourself and others.
●
Wear safety glasses whenever in the proximity of a
spinning propeller.
●
Do not operate the motor in an area of loose gravel or
sand; the propeller may throw such material in your
face or eyes.
●
Keep spectators as well as your own face and body
out of the plane of rotation of the propeller.
●
Never connect the battery to the ESC while indoors
with the propeller installed.
●
Always remove the propeller when testing or making
repairs to the model.
●
Always stay behind the arc of the propeller when
handling the model.
●
Always assume the motor may start unexpectedly when
the fl ight battery is connected.
●
Always remain outside the arc of the propeller when
installing and/or removing the fl ight battery.
●
Keep all loose clothing, long hair or any other loose
objects such as pencils or screwdrivers that may fall
out pockets away from the propeller.
Mount the Propeller and Spinner
❑
1. Secure the backplate, propeller, washer and nut. Make
sure the assembly is secure to the aircraft.
❑
2. Tighten the two Phillips head screws to the spinner.
Check the C.G.
Same as the control throws, the C.G. has a great effect on
how every model fl ies, so do not skip this procedure. If the
model is tail-heavy it may be too instable and respond too
quickly to the controls. If the model is nose-heavy it may be too
stable and not respond fast enough—in either case possibly
causing a crash. Do not overlook this important procedure.
