Although in most cases your transmitter of choice will offer full and proper
control of the Sukhoi BNF with Spektrum/JR ‘standard’ settings (standard
airplane mode, servo reversing set to normal and travel adjustments set to
100%), you must test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none of
the servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping and handling and
that the controls function in the correct directions.
Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick completely. Then,
plug the battery into the battery lead of the receiver unit.
Note: The connectors on the battery and battery lead are keyed to
prevent reverse polarity connection. However, if you force them
together in the wrong orientation and with the wrong polarity it is
still possible to damage the battery and/or receiver unit. To help
further prevent a reverse polarity connection, one side of the
endcap on the battery and the connector on the battery lead of the
receiver unit will have a red dot. The connectors are oriented for a
proper polarity connection when the red dots are on the same side.
Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and aft to check elevator
pitch control. When the stick is pushed forward, the elevator should move
down.

Note: Each time before you fly you should ALWAYS turn the
transmitter on before connecting the flight battery to the receiver
unit. After each flight, be sure that you always disconnect the flight
battery from the receiver unit before powering the transmitter off.

Information
Prior to each flight, you should ensure that you power on your transmitter and
wait about five seconds before you plug the flight battery into the receiver.
Doing this allows time for the transmitter to scan and secure two open
frequencies. If the flight battery is plugged in too quickly and the link is
missed, it may cause the receiver to inadvertently enter bind mode. If this
occurs simply leave the transmitter on and then disconnect and reconnect the
flight battery.
