Appendix B:

Transmitter Control Surface Movements

The Sky Scout is designed for success in a “3-channel” configuration using rudder, elevator and throttle control. This basic configuration is well suited
to beginners and relaxing flying. More experienced pilots may prefer to increase the performance of their Sky Scout by adding the optional aileron
controls. While the necessary hardware is included with your Sky Scout, two additional servos and two servo extensions are required. The mechanical
installation of the servos and aileron controls is detailed in the Assembly instructions in steps 8, 9, 24-28, beginning on page 8.

When installing the optional ailerons the rudder will be controlled by moving the left stick while the ailerons will be controlled by the right. Connect the
rudder servo cable to the receiver port labeled “4.” Plug the aileron servo extensions into receiver ports #1 & 5. The rudder should only be connected to
the receiver port #1 when ailerons are not used. If you are not comfortable doing this, please consult a local expert or your local RC hobby retailer.

First, check the aileron control, which “rolls” or banks the wings to the left and right. Move the right stick to the right as shown and confirm the left

aileron goes down and the right aileron goes up when viewing the Sky Scout from behind. If the left aileron moves up and the right down, use your

transmitter’s REV (reverse) function to change the aileron direction.

Next, check the elevator movement. This control “pitches” the nose of the model up and down. Move the left stick down as shown and confirm the

elevator goes up. If the elevator goes down, use your transmitter’s REV (reverse) function to change the elevator direction.
