Pre-flight checks
Now switch on the transmitter, and switch the gear stick to
low throttle position. Switch the flight battery on.
Now test the rudder and the mixture, a delta mixer is
necessary. (check the manual of your transmitter)
Now pose yourself behind the model and test the altitude
rudder. Both rudders should move upwards. If you test the
direction and give right, the right rudder should move
upwards whereas the left rudder should point downwards.
Control the angle of the rudder movement. 15mm deflection
are a good result.
All RC-components need to be fully tested before trying the
first practice flight. Especially the reach of the components is
of importance. Test this by switching on the transmitter, then
the batteries and then move 30 m away from the model with
inserted transmitter antenna. There should be no
malfunction. If this is not the case, check for the cause of the
irritation. Are the batteries recharged? Are the right quartz in
the receiver and transmitter?
The first start can be tried from hand or an even ground. Do
not use the steering extensively since the model reacts with
sensitivity.
