Checking the Steering Operation

With your PT-109 and transmitter on,

move the steering stick to the right to

make the rudders move to the right to

incur a right turn. Conversely, when left

input is given, the rudders will move to

the left.

It may be necessary to adjust the

Steering Trim so the rudders are

centered prior to operation. Use the

Steering Trim to center the rudders

prior to operation. You may also need

to fine-tune the steering trim to make

sure the boat runs straight during

operation. This can only be accomplished

when operating the boat in the water

and is detailed in a following section.

After you have completed checking your

radio system, turn the PT-109 receiver off

FIRST by sliding the switch to the “OFF”

position. After the model has been turned

off, turn off the transmitter.
If you find the steering or throttle

operates backwards as described,

you may need to actuate the servo

reversing switch.

Note: If you are transporting your

PT-109, make sure you disconnect

the batteries from the speed

controller and then turn your radio

off until you are ready to run the

boat. Once ready, simply plug the

batteries into the speed controller,

turn the radio on and make sure

that the boat is in neutral.

Range Testing

Collapse the transmitter antenna and

move the rudder controls. Walk away

from the boat and confirm that you have

control at least 20 yards away.
