2) Check every bolt and every glue joint

in the 

PERCIVAL MEWGULL 

to ensure that

everything is tight and well bonded.

  

 

E) Check the throttle.  Moving the throttle

stick forward should open the carburetor bar-
rel.  If it does not, flip the servo reversing switch
on your transmitter to change the direction.

 

 

F) From behind the airplane, look at the

aileron on the right wing half.  Move the aileron
stick to the right.  The right aileron should move
up and the other aileron should move down.  If
it does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.

PREFLIGHT CHECK.

 

  

  

1) Completely charge your transmitter

and receiver batteries before your first day of
flying.

 

6) Check to ensure the control surfaces

are moving the proper amount for both low
and high rate settings.

 

  

  

8) Properly balance the propeller.  An out

of balance propeller will cause excessive vi-
bration which could lead to engine and/or air-
frame failure.

 

7) Check the receiver antenna.  It should

be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.

 

  

  

5) If your radio transmitter is equipped

with dual rate switches double check that they
are on the low rate setting for your first few
flights.

  

3) Double check the balance of the air-

plane.  Do this with the fuel tank empty.

 

  

  

4) Check the control surfaces.  All should

move in the correct direction and not bind in
any way.
