Once you have confirmed that the CG is correct,
you should do a thorough review of the entire model
before your first flight. Check everything twice! Every
hook up, every coupling, everything! Do it twice!!
33.2
Before your first flight, have an experienced flyer
review your work. Do not fly your model until it has
been checked out by a third party who knows how to
fly and how to set up a model aircraft. Do not fly alone.
Seek experienced help.
33.3
Once you have completed your first flight, get in
the habit of checking your model over before and after
each flight! Don’t fly if you find something that is not
right!

CONTROL SURFACE THROW SPECIFICATIONS
: The throws are measured at the widest part of the control
surface. Adjust the position of the pushrods at the control and/or servo horns to control the amount of throw.
You may also use ATV's if you radio has them but the mechanical linkages should still be set so that the ATV's
are near 100% for best servo resolution.
