Double check the alignment and movement of all the controls one more time! Make sure the control surfaces move in the
proper direction when you move the sticks. You’d be amazed to know how many models have been destroyed on takeoff
with one of the controls reversed. If you’re in this hobby for very long, you will see it happen. Don’t let it happen to you! It’s
a good idea to get into the habit of checking for proper control response every time you get ready to fly.

Adjust all of your pushrod linkages so that the control surfaces are in their neutral position when the transmitter sticks and
trim levers are centered. When you get to the flying field, don’t be surprised is the elevator and rudder are suddenly
misaligned after you had them perfect at home. Temperature and humidity changes can cause nylon pushrods, like those
on the KADET LT-40’s elevator and rudder, to shrink or expand slightly. If they are just slightly out of neutral, use the trim
levers on the transmitter to neutralize them again right before flying.

Adjust your pushrod linkages as necessary to provide the prescribed amount of control surface travel. Make sure all of the
R/C Links are securely snapped shut.

Make sure none of the pushrods are binding or the servos stalling.

Make sure all of the screws and bolts on your model are tight. Double check to see that all of the servos are secure and all
of the servo control arms are screwed on firmly.

ALWAYS USE AT LEAST TWELVE #67 RUBBER BANDS TO HOLD THE WING ON THE KADET LT-40!

Charge your radio batteries before every flying session!

Be sure to read "THE BASICS OF RADIO CONTROL". It contains many more valuable tips and ideas to help make your
first R/C flight a success.

Find A Safe Place To Fly

Don’t try to fly your KADET LT-40 in your backyard, at the local school yard, or in any other heavily populated area! If you
have never seen an R/C airplane fly before, you probably don’t realize how much room you really need. It’s more than
most people think! A school yard may look inviting, but it is too close to people, houses, power lines, and possible radio
interference.

The best place to fly your model is at a designated model airplane club flying field. Ask your hobby shop dealer if there is a
model club in your area and join. Not only will you have access to a large, safe place to fly, but you will enjoy being around
all types of R/C model airplanes and talking to their builders.
