You must test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of the
servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling and
that the controls function in the correct directions.
Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick completely. Then,
plug the battery into the battery lead of the receiver unit.
Note: The connectors on the battery and battery lead are keyed to
prevent reverse polarity connection. However, if you force them
together in the wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity it is
still possible to damage the battery and/or receiver unit. To help
further prevent a reverse polarity connection, one side of the end
cap on the battery and the connector on the battery lead of the
receiver unit will have a red dot. The connectors are oriented for a
proper polarity connection when the red dots are on the same side.
Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and aft to check
elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the elevator should
move down.
Control Test
When the elevator stick is moved aft the elevator should move up.
Move the aileron stick left and right to check aileron roll control. When the
stick is pushed to the left, the left aileron should move up and the right aileron
should move down.
