- Check the channel assignment at the receiver, and if
necessary swap the plugs as necessary.
- Set the transmitter sticks and trims to centre.
- The control surfaces should now also be at centre (neutral).
Adjust the clevis where necessary.
- Check the direction of rotation of the servos.
- Stand behind the model. - When you move the rudder stick
to the right, the rudder should also deflect to the right.
- Pull the elevator stick back towards you, and the rear edge
of the elevator should rise.
- Moving the aileron stick to the right, you MUST check that
the trailing edge of the right aileron rises, the left aileron
should go down.
- If any function works the wrong way round, correct it using
the servo reverse facility on your transmitter.
- Set the control throw using the transmitter servo end point
adjustment function.
- The travels are measured at the inboard end of the control
surfaces.
- The stated control throws are just a guide for the first few
flights. You will probably need to adjust the actual settings
to suit your individual flying style.
- The Expo settings should also be adjusted to suit the pilot's
preference.
