FLAPERON AND SPOILERON MIXING
Because the Crazy-8 uses individual aileron servos, they can be plugged separately into the receiver and will allow the use
of flaperons (both ailerons down at the same time) and spoilerons (both ailerons up at the same time). These functions can
then be mixed with the elevator for extreme pitch changes useful in 3D maneuvers.
Elevator:
1/2" Up
and Flaperons (down) 1/4"
Elevator:
1/2" Down and Spoilerons (up) 1/4"
☛
We do not recommend using flaperon and spoileron to elevator mixing during general sport flying, especially during
takeoff and landing. This mixing should only be used for 3D maneuvers.
3D FLYING CONTROL SURFACE THROWS
Elevator:
1/2" Up

Ailerons:
5/8" Up
5/8" Down
Rudder:
1-1/2" Right
1-1/2" Left

The 3D control surface throws are our preferences. The airplane flies very good using them; however, these
recommendations are not set in stone. Feel free to make adjustments to suit your flying style. Have fun experimenting!
SECTION 17: PREFLIGHT CHECK & SAFETY
●
Check the operation of the throttle. To do this, do the following:
A) Plug in your flight battery and turn on the radio system.
WARNING
Do not turn the receiver on unless the transmitter is turned on first. Always turn the transmitter on first. Never allow
hands or clothing to get in the way of the propeller when the radio is turned on. Sudden unwanted radio signals, or turning
the radio on with the throttle stick set at full throttle, can turn the motor on unintentionally. Always make sure that the
throttle control stick is set to idle before turning on the transmitter.
B) When the throttle control stick is at the idle position, the motor should be off. Moving the stick forward
should turn on the motor. Gradually moving the stick to the full forward position should result in the motor running at full
power.
☛
Some ESCs will give you more proportional control than others. Your ESC may also have a manual control
adjustment screw that must be adjusted prior to using the ESC. (Refer to your ESC's operating guide for further
information.)
●
Cycle the flight battery three times. When NiCD and NiMH batteries are new they need to be used 2-3 times before
they will produce their top voltage and duration. To cycle them, simply charge the battery and then run the motor until the
motor stops. Allow the battery and motor to cool, then repeat this procedure two more times.
