move up, change the position of the elevator servo
reversing switch on the transmitter. Move the right
stick down all the way. The elevator should defl ect
up 1/4" [6.4mm]. Move the right stick up all the way.
The elevator should defl ect down 1/4" [6.4mm].
❏ 3. To start the motor, the throttle stick must fi rst
be in the “OFF” position all the way down. Place the
throttle stick in this position before turning on the
transmitter and plugging in the airplane’s battery.
Turn the transmitter ON. With the airplane located
in a safe position and away from anything that may
get sucked into the EDF unit, plug in the airplane’s
battery and switch the plane on. Move the throttle
stick all the way up and leave it there for 10 seconds.
Move the throttle stick all the way down. The motor
is now “armed.” Moving the throttle stick again will
operate the motor and EDF fan.
NOTE: The motor must be armed each time the
airplane has been turned off. This is a safety feature
that prevents inadvertent starting of the motor if the
transmitter is switched on with the throttle stick in
any position other than full off.
CHECK THE BALANCE OF THE MODEL
NOTE: Although your Diablo EDF comes balanced
from the factory, the balance point should be
confi rmed using the following procedure. This
section is VERY important and must NOT be
omitted. A model that is not properly balanced will
be unstable and possibly unfl yable.
❏ 1. Place the battery pack in the forward section
of the battery compartment. DO NOT plug the
battery in at this time. Install the canopy/hatch.
❏ 2. Turn the model upside down. Place marks on
the bottoms of both wings 2-5/16"[58mm] back from
the front (leading edge) of each wing. This was found
to be the ideal balance point for this airplane. The
acceptable range of balance is from 2" [51mm] to
2-1/2" [64mm] back from the leading edge of the wing.
If your airplane does not balance at the ideal balance
point or within the safe range, there is room to shift
the airplane’s battery in the battery compartment. If
this is not enough, you may purchase stick-on lead
weight at most hobby shops.
