2. Servo centering and direction: If you fly mode 2, when you pull the right stick toward you, the
elevator should deflect upwards; push the right stick to the right and the right aileron(s) should
deflect upwards and the left aileron(s) should deflect downwards; push the left stick left and the
rudder should deflect to the left as viewed from the rear of the fuselage.
3. Servo end-point adjustments: If you are using a Computer Radio, for initial flights set the elevator,
rudder and aileron linkages for near-maximum-possible deflections and use your transmitter to
add some ‘exponential’ to soften the control throws around center. Initial settings if you are using
a Non-computer Radio:
Recommended Deflections
Elevator ................................................................ 25 degrees (2
3/4
inches) up and down from center
Rudder .................................................................. 30 degrees (3 inches) left and right from center
Ailerons ................................................................ 20 degrees (1
1/4
-inch) up and down from center
4. Check the Mylar covering material’s joints and surfaces. If necessary, carefully use an iron on
medium heat to secure the edges and to tighten any loosened areas. Recheck and retighten from
time to time; be careful to not apply too much heat as you secure edges or tighten the Mylar. If
any trim becomes loosened, press it down and/or apply clear tape. Never apply heat to any trim,
insignia, marking or plastic part.
5. Ensure the propeller is securely attached to your motor or engine and remains undamaged and
correctly balanced.
6. As with all radio-controlled model airplanes, your F.2B must pass the radio-range ground check
recommended by your radio’s manufacturer or you may not fly safely.
VIII. STORAGE, FIELD SETUP & PREFLIGHT CHECKS
1.
Preparation for Transport & Field Setup:
a) Disconnect the 4 clevises that secure each set upper and lower wing panels to the fuselage.
Gently slide the left- and right side pairs of wing panels approx. 1 to 2 inches away from their
center sections, disconnect the aileron servo extensions from the Y-cables, and pull the wing
panels from their wing rods.
b) To reattach the wings, reverse the above procedure. Be careful to align and slide the upper
and lower sets of wing panels evenly onto their joiner tubes. Reattach the aileron servo
connections and reattach the 4 clevises to their anchor points.
2.
Preflight checks:
a) Double-check the security of the motor- or engine-mounting box. Make certain all screws,
clevises and other connections throughout the air frame are secure.
b) Double-check the control directions and amount of control throw of the ailerons, elevator,
rudder and throttle.
c) As with all radio-controlled model airplanes, this model must pass the radio range ground
check recommended by your radio’s manufacturer or you may not fly safely.
d) Make certain your transmitter’s throttle is safely set to minimum before turning ON your
transmitter. Carefully operate your radio-control and power system according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.
