A radio range check should be performed prior to the first flight of the day. This test may assist you in detecting electronic
problems that may lead to a loss of control- problems such as low transmitter batteries, defective or damaged radio com-
ponents or radio interference. This usually requires an assistant and should be done at the flying site.

Performing a range check
1. The table shows the factory settings for the
control horns and servo arms. Fly the aircraft at the
factory settings before making changes.
2. After flying, you may choose to adjust the linkage
positions for the desired control response.

Finding the correct center of gravity is critical in ensuring that the aircraft
performs in a stable and responsive manner. Please adjust the weight
distribution so the aircraft balances in the range stated on the diagram.
• Depending on the capacity and weight of your chosen flight
batteries, move the battery forward or backward to adjust the
center of gravity.
• If you cannot obtain the recommended CG by moving the battery to a
suitable location, you can also install a counterweight to achieve correct
CG. However, with the recommended battery size, a counterweight is not
required. We recommend flying without unnecessary counterweight.
Find a flying site clear of buildings, trees, power lines and other obstructions. Until you know how much area will be required
and have mastered flying your plane in confined spaces, choose a site which is at least the size of two to three football fields
- a flying field specifically for R/C planes is best. Never fly near people - especially children, who can wander unpredictably.
