DJUSTMENT
Adjustments
The operating direction, neutral position, and steering angle of each servo are adjusted.
The basic linkage and adjustments of the fuselage conform to the fuselage design
drawings and kit instruction manual. Be sure that the center of gravity is at the
prescribed position.
Adjustment Procedure
Before making any adjustments, set all the SERVO REVERSER switches on the front of
the transmitter to the lower(NOR) position and set the both THROTTLE ATV
trimmers(LOW/HIGH) to the maximum ("10") point. (Set the switches and the trimmers
with a small screwdriver, etc.)
Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches and make the following adjustments:
1 Check the direction of operation of each servo.
If a servo operates in the wrong direction, switch its SERVO RE-
VERSER switch. (The direction of operation can be changed without
changing the linkage.) Note that the direction of the aileron servo is
easily mistaken. (See page 14 for a transmitter operation instruc-
tion.)
2 Check the aileron, elevator, and rudder neutral adjustment and left-right
(up-down) throw.
Check that when trimmed to the center, the
servo horn is perpendicular to the servo and
check the neutral position of the fuselage
control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, etc.).
If the neutral position has changed, reset it by
adjusting the length of the rod with the linkage
rod adjuster.
When the throw is unsuitable (different from steering angle specified by the kit instruc-
tion manual), adjust it by changing the servo horn and each control surface horn rod .
3 Check the engine throttle (speed adjustment) linkage.
Change the servo horn installation position and hole position so that the throttle is opened
fully when the throttle stick is set to HIGH (forward) and is closed fully when the throttle
stick and throttle trim are set for maximum slow (backward position and lower position,
respectively).
4 After all the linkages have been connected, recheck the operating direction,
throw, etc.
Before flight, adjust the aircraft in accordance with the kit and engine instruction manu-
als.
5 Fly the plane and trim each servo.
