GIMBAL STICKS
Ball-bearing construction allows both sticks to provide the ultimate
in smooth, precise control. Stick length can be adjusted for
optimum feel and control. Using a 5/64" hex wrench, loosen the
set screw inside the tip of the stick. Rotate the stick tip counter-
clockwise to lengthen or clockwise to shorten the stick. Once the
desired stick length is found, tighten the screw.
AILERON (CH1)
Controls the moveable surfaces at the end of both main wings to rotate the airplane about the “roll” axis (an
imaginary line which extends from the airplane’s nose to the tail). The aileron reversing switch must be set so
moving the aileron stick to the right will cause the airplane’s right aileron to deflect up, thus causing the right
wing to drop and the airplane to bank to the right. Moving the aileron stick to the left will cause the airplane’s
left wing to drop and the airplane to bank to the left. This is one important method for turning the aircraft.
ELEVATOR (CH2)
Controls the moveable horizontal surfaces on the airplane’s tail to rotate the airplane about the “pitch” axis
(an imaginary line extending through the center of both main wings, from one wing tip to the other wing tip).
The elevator reversing switch must be set so that pulling the elevator stick back (towards you) will cause
the elevators to deflect up, thus causing the nose of the airplane to rise. Pushing the elevator stick forwards
(away from you) will cause the nose of the airplane to drop. When using the ailerons to bank the airplane’s
wings, pulling the elevator stick back will help the aircraft maintain altitude and turn the aircraft more quickly.
THROTTLE (CH3)
Controls the speed (R.P.M.) at which the engine or electric motor operates. With the throttle reversing switch
in the normal position, pulling the throttle stick back will cause the engine’s speed to decrease. Pushing the
throttle stick forward will cause the engine’s speed to increase.
RUDDER (CH4)
Controls the sideways movement of the airplane’s tail and will rotate the airplane about the “yaw axis” (an
imaginary line from the top of the airplane’s fuselage to the bottom of the fuselage, located near the center-
point of the fuselage). The rudder reversing switch must be set so that moving the rudder stick to the right
causes the rudder to deflect to the right, thus causing the nose of the airplane to point to the right. Moving the
rudder stick to the left will cause the nose of the airplane to turn left. When using the rudder in conjunction
with the ailerons, the airplane’s nose can point into a turn (instead of pointing up and “skidding” through the
turn), allowing the airplane to perform tighter, more coordinated turns.
DIGITAL TRIMS
A “trim” lever is included for each of the main controls, located adjacent to the respective stick. All trims are digital
in function, and always rest at mechanical center position. Briefly depressing the lever to either side away from
center will cause the respective servo output to finely rotate to one direction. Pressing and holding the trim lever
will cause the servo output to move repeatedly. Ideally during a flight, when the main sticks are released and spring
back to center position the aircraft should not veer in any direction. If the aircraft veers in a particular direction,
click the respective trim lever until the aircraft maintains a straight attitude on its own.
