2. Standard servos may be used. They are
somewhat water resistant but

not water

proof.

Futaba does have a servo that is more

water resistant and is called Water
Resistant

however, expect to pay more money.

Of course, if they are submerged, forget it. If
the receiver gets wet and fails to operate, dry it
out before trying to operate it again.

GETTING YOUR MODEL READY TO FLY

NOTE:

This section is

VERY

important and

must

NOT

be ornitted! A model that is not

properly balanced will be unstable and possibly

crash. You want a first successful flight!

1. Accurately mark the balance point on the

bottom of the wing, on both sides, next to the
fuselage. The balance point is 3-7/8” (28% of

the wing chord) back from the leading edge of
the wing. This is the balance point at which your
model should be balanced for your first flights.

Later, you may experiment by shifting the
balance up to 1/4" forward or back to change
the flying characteristics. If you move the

balance point forward it may improve the
smoothness and tracking, but your Mariner
may require more speed for takeoff and become

more difficult to slow and flare when landing on
the water. If you move the balance aft it will
make it more agile with a lighter feel and allow

you to perform more aerobatic maneuvers.
Please start at the location recommended.

2. All components should be in the model and it
should be ready to fly when balancing, the fuel

tank should be empty.

3. With the wing installed on the fuselage and

the fuel tank empty, lift the model at the
balance point mark on the bottom of the wing.
The model should hang with the nose down at a

10 degree angle. You will find the Mariner

inherently tail heavy and will have to add weight
in the forward hatch compartment. As much as
8 - 10 ounces, assuming the receiver battery is

4 – 5 ounces. The amount of weight required
will depend on the engine size, and how heavily

or lightly the tail was built. You will have to
experiment.

FINAL HOOKUPS AND ADJUSTMENT

. Remove the servo arms from the servos,

turn on the transmitter and center all the trims.

Now reinstall all the servo arms and secure
them safely.

2. Double- check all servos and make sure

the servo arms are secure and that all clevis are
secured with a retainer.

3. Make sure the control surfaces move in the
proper direction and the throttle is not reversed.

4 –CHANNEL RADIO SETUP

Aileron 3/8” up 3/8” down

Elevator 3/4" up 3/4" down

Measured at widest part

Rudder 1-1/2” left 1-1/2” right

4. Adjust the pushrod hookups and set up the
radio to provide the above control travels.

Please use the CG location and control surface
travels listed in this manual for your initial test
flights.
