❏
1. Insert a rubber band as shown.
❏
2. Lay one end of a colored streamer over the mount.
Insert one loop of the rubber band through the loop at the
other end. Pull it tight to hold the streamer in place.
❏
3. Secure the antenna to the fuselage. If left to trail the
plane, it could become damaged in combat.
❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the
trims. If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos
and reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the
screws that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the V-bends on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.
❏
3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the motor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram. If
any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use the
servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
Use a Great Planes AccuThrow ™ (or a ruler) to accurately
measure and set the control throw of each control surface as
indicated in the chart that follows. If your radio does not have
dual rates, we recommend setting the throws at the low
rate, or sport rate setting.
Note: The 3D throws recommended are extreme throws and
should only be flown by experienced pilots. They are very
sensitive and could cause the plane to seem uncontrollable
to a novice pilot. Sport rates are perfect, and recommended
for, combat and general aerobatic flight.
Note: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
These are the recommended control surface throws:
High Rate/3D Rate Low Rate/Sport Rate
ELEVATOR: 3-1/2" [89 mm] up 1-1/2" [38 mm] up
3-1/2" [89 mm] down 1-1/2" [38 mm] down
RUDDER: 3-1/2" [89 mm] right 2" [51 mm] right
3-1/2" [89 mm] left
2" [51 mm] left
AILERONS: 3" [76 mm] up 1-5/8" [41 mm] up
3" [76 mm] down 1-5/8" [41 mm] down
