4 Check your alignment of the wing to the

horizontal stabilizer at this time. You should
have some play in the stab holes. Measure the
stab tip to the wing tip. Adjust the stab until the
measurements are equal. Now you can tighten
the 3mm locknuts at the stabilizer.

Range Testing the Radio

1. Before each flying session, be sure to

range check your radio. This is accomplished
by turning on your transmitter with the antenna
collapsed. Turn on the receiver in your
airplane. With your airplane on the ground
and the engine running, you should be able
to walk 30 paces (approximately 100 feet)
away from your airplane and still have
complete control of all functions. If not, don’t
attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment
checked out by the manufacturer.

2. Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator,

rudder and throttle) move in the correct direction.

3. Be sure that your transmitter batteries are

fully charged, per the instructions included
with your radio.
