3.
Connect the retracts to the GEAR port.
4.
Connect the flap servos to the AUX1 port.
5.
Make sure the throttle stick is at its lowest position (off) and turn the transmitter on.
6.
Connect a battery to the ESC. You should hear the startup tones from the ESC and see a
solid light on the receiver.
7.
Check to make sure a spinning prop or EDF won’t be a safety hazard.
8.
Slowly advance the throttle until the motor driving the prop or EDF spins; when done,
move the throttle to the off position. Be careful not to bump the throttle because that
causes the motor to spin, which can be a safety hazard.
9.
Systematically check each control surface for movement including rudder, ailerons,
elevator, retracts, and flaps. You can change direction and amount of movement later,
now you are ensuring the transmitter can activate the model’s controls.
10.
After you’ve confirmed all the model’s controls are working, you are ready to do the
detailed set up of the model.
Set Servo Direction
Set the correct direction for the throttle, aileron, elevator, and rudder controls using the SERVO
REVERSING switches.
1.
If it’s not on already, power the transmitter and connect a battery to the receiver. You
hear the startup tones and the controls become active.
2.
Check the direction of motion for a control surface, such as the elevator. If the direction
needs to be reversed, perform step 3; if not, skip to step 4.
3.
Use a small flathead screwdriver to slide the corresponding switch, such as the ELE
switch, to the opposite position; the servo moves in the opposite direction.
