If you're flying the airplane and it seems to always want to turn right or left or pitch up or down, you can use the electronic
trim tabs on the transmitter to correct these tendencies. We suggest flying the airplane straight ahead and level, then let
go of the right-hand control stick for a few seconds. Watch what the airplane does. It may pitch up or down, or it may turn
right or left, or it may do a combination of these. Do this several times to double-check your findings. If the airplane does
one of the following while in straight and level flight without your hand on the control stick, move the following electronic trim
tab(s) to correct it:
●
If the airplane pitches up: Move the right-hand control stick vertical trim tab forward a couple of clicks.
●
If the airplane pitches down: Move the right-hand control stick vertical trim tab back a couple of clicks.
●
If the airplane turns right: Move the right-hand control stick horizontal trim tab left a couple of clicks.
●
If the airplane turns left: Move the right-hand control stick horizontal trim tab right a couple of clicks.
You can make these trim tab changes while you are flying, but we suggest having a friend move them for you so you don't
lose sight of the airplane. We also recommend moving the trim tabs a couple of clicks at a time so you don't over-correct
for the trim problem.
SECTION 8: FLIGHT-TRIMMING THE CESSNA 180 EP RTF
While you are learning to fly, there comes a time when you might crash. If the crash isn't too bad, most damage can be
repaired quickly and easily. If the damage is beyond repair, spare parts are available for purchase. If a foam part is going
to break during a crash it will usually break cleanly. To repair a clean break, follow the procedures below:
❑
Glue the broken parts together using a thin layer of 5 minute epoxy or white glue, following the directions on the glue
bottle. Hold the parts together and in alignment until the glue fully cures.
❑
Apply a strip of clear Scotch
®
tape over the seams to strengthen the joint even more.
It is very important that you use no solvents or Cyanoacrylate (C/A) glue, which can damage foam. If
any of these chemicals comes in contact with the foam parts, the parts will be destroyed. Use only epoxy or white glue
to repair damaged foam parts.
