3. While applying some tension to the control
line, adjust until the control surface is level
with the rest of the surface.
Note: Do not allow slack in the lines.
The lines should be just taut and the control
surfaces level with the rest of the tail.

Choose a Large, Open Grassy Field
• A large, open grass field is required. The
Firebird IIST ™ flies approximately 20 mph,
so it covers ground fast. The bigger the field,
the better!
• It is absolutely essential to have a minimum of
300 feet of clear space in all directions from
the pilot. If you ignore this direction, you will
regret it.
Important: Do not fly over or near people,
buildings, power lines, highways, train tracks,
vehicles, trees, water, pavement, gravel, any
hard surface or any object you don’t want to
crash into. Please take this warning seriously to
keep people, property and the Firebird IIST safe.
Crash damage is not covered by the warranty.

Checking and Adjusting the Tail Control Surfaces
Before making your first flight, confirm that the
two control surfaces are level with rest of tail. To
do this simply:
1. Turn on the transmitter. Leave the sticks
at neutral for a few seconds to allow the
calibration process to be completed. Ensure
that both trim levers are in the neutral position.
2. Plug the fully charged battery into the airplane.
If the tail control surfaces are level with the
rest of the tail, your task is complete.
If you notice that one of the tail control flaps (or
both) are not level with the rest of the tail, some
corrections are needed prior to flight.
1. Repeat steps 1 and 2 from above.
2. Use your fingers or a small flat screwdriver to
turn the slotted spool on the control horn of
the line that needs to be adjusted. Depending
on the direction the spool is turned, this will
lengthen or shorten the control line.
