Leveling the Tail Control Flaps
Before making your first flight, if tail control
flaps are not level with rest of tail surface,
adjust them so they are level by doing the
following:
1. Turn the transmitter on, plug in aircraft
battery and center the right control stick
and trim lever.
2. Use your fingers or a small flat screwdriver
to turn the slotted spool on the control
horn. Depending on the direction you
turn, this will lengthen or shorten the
control line.
3. While applying some tension to the control
lines, adjust until the control surfaces are
level with the rest of the surface.

Making Adjustments: Plane Turns to the Left or Right
If the airplane keeps turning to the left and
adjusting the trim control lever (page 15)
does not correct the situation enough to fly
straight with the stick at neutral:
1. Adjust the control line so that the left
tail flap is 1/16” above the rest of the
tail surface.
2. Test fly.
3. If it still flies to the left, repeat the above
procedure, adding 1/16” each time until
it flies straight.
If the airplane keeps turning to the right and
adjusting the trim control lever (page 15)
does not correct the situation enough to fly
straight with the stick at neutral:
1. Adjust the control line so that the right
tail flap is 1/16” above the rest of the
tail surface.
2. Test fly.
3. If it still flies to the right, repeat the above
procedure, adding 1/16” each time until
it flies straight.
IMPORTANT: If there is a bend (even a
small one) in the tail or wing or a tear near
the flap areas, it will be impossible to have
correct flight control. Replace the damaged
part immediately!
