Before the first run of the Blackjack 26 SS, you
should check the radio for proper operation and to
ensure proper control movement of the rudder and
throttle. Also ensure that the antenna on the boat
is extended properly and that all batteries are in
working condition.
 1. With the radio system turned on (transmitter
and receiver) and the transmitter antenna down
(engine off), walk off 40 to 50 paces from the
Blackjack 26 SS.
