Step 4

Flight Control Test

Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting the

control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor.

1. Be certain that the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.

Aircraft supplied with a Mode 1 transmitter will function with

the throttle/ rudder operation on the right stick and elevator

operation on the left stick.

2. Move the right stick from side to side. The rudder should move

per your transmitter input.

3. When using a Mode 2 transmitter, move the right stick full

forward. When this is done, the elevator control surface should

move down. Mode 1 transmitters will operate with the elevator

control located on the left stick and the throttle/ rudder control

on the right stick.

4. Pull the right stick back (the left stick for Mode 1 transmitters)

and the elevator control surface should move upward.

5. If your airplane is not responding correctly to the transmitter

input, do not fly. Some correction is needed. Call the Horizon

Support Team at 1.877.504.0233, or find your local distributor

on the Horizon Hobby website to contact for assistance.

6. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect the flight

battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This should be done

each time you turn off the airplane.

Note:

It is very important to make sure that the control surfaces

(rudder and elevator) are at 0 degrees, or neutral, when the right

transmitter stick is centered.

Step 5

Dual Rate Selection

The Vapor RTF also features the ability to change between high and

low rate control throws. The default setting for the Vapor RTF is high

rate throws, however you may find it easier to perform some

aerobatics, such as harriers, by flying with low rates. You can easily

switch from high to low rates:

1. Ensure the transmitter is powered on.

2. Press IN on the right control stick.

3. The transmitter will beep once and the LED will blink slowly

between dim and bright.

4. To exit low rate mode, press in on the right control stick. The

transmitter will beep once and the LED will remain solid.
