1. Turn on the transmitter, center the trims, and move the

throttle stick all the way down. Plug your airplane’s battery
into the ESC and check to see that all servo arms are
positioned properly. 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 that they are centered. If necessary,
adjust the pushrods to center the control surfaces. Apply
thread locking compound to the locking screw threads and
tighten all of the Screw-Lock pushrod connectors.

3. Install the servo bay hatch.
