Settings for Control Horns

The illustration shows linkage positions chosen for
the most balanced aerobatic response. Linkage
connections on the control horns directly affect
aircraft response.

CAUTION: When these are incorrectly

connected for the pilot’s skill level, unexpected
aircraft response to controls can result. This can
cause damage to the aircraft and personal injury.

Adjusting Center of Gravity (CG)

The CG location is measured from the leading edge
of the wing at the root. This CG location has been
determined with the 2S 180mAh 7.4V Li-Po battery
installed.

Start by placing the front edge of the battery
aligned with or slightly forward of the rear edge of
the cowl. The Li-Po battery can be positioned to
accommodate your desired fl ying style by using the
battery positioning chart as shown.

Dual Rates

To obtain the best fl ight performance, we
recommend using a DSM2/DSMX radio capable
of Dual Rates. The suggested settings shown here
are the recommended starting settings. Adjust
according to the individual preferences after the
initial fl ight.

NOTICE: Do not set your transmitter travel adjust
over 100%
. If the TRAVEL ADJUST is set over
100%, it will not result in more control movement, it
will overdrive the servo and cause damage.

It is normal for linear servos to make signifi cant
noise. The noise is not an indication of a faulty
servo.
