getting Started

1. Power on the transmitter.

water) as shown below.

5. Launch the boat into the water and start sailing.

Control Direction Test

Perform a control direction test to see how quickly your

sailboat responds to transmitter controls. In gusty wind

conditions, knowing how fast your sailboat responds can

make the difference between easy sailing and sinking

your boat.

Ensure your boat and transmitter are bound before

doing these tests (see Binding). Move the controls on the

transmitter to ensure the rudder and sails move correctly

and in the proper direction. Ensure the rudder moves

freely and that the winch servo takes in and releases

control lines appropriately.

Move the Rudder Control (C) on the transmitter to the

right. The rear edge of the rudder should move to the

right. Move the stick on the transmitter to the left.

The rear edge of the rudder should move to the left.

Use the STR (steering) reversing switch if the direction

is reversed.

Tip: If you find the boat is turning too quickly,

adjust the Steering (ST) Rate knob on the top

of the transmitter.

Move the Winch Control (A) up on the transmitter.

The winch in the boat will release control lines, so use

one hand to move the sails to the right or left. Move

the stick down on the transmitter. The winch will

pull in control lines.

Use the Throttle (THR) reversing switch on your

transmitter if you need to reverse the direction

the winch pulls in or releases control lines.
