throttle stick which would create a safety hazard. Make sure all devices are properly
mounted inside the model, and all wiring connections are solid to prevent them from
easily becoming dislodged during normal fl ight. It’s best to check the system with the
propeller removed from the aircraft.
1. Once all connections are made, check the general operation of the radio and all
other components before attempting a fl ight.
2. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum (idle) position.
3. Turn on the Tx, and then the Rx.
4. Make sure all controls are operating in the proper direction. If any servo is turning
in the wrong direction, change the reverse setting for that channel.
5. With both sticks at center position, move the trim levers for the aileron, elevator,
and rudder channels so each respective control surface is perfectly aligned with
the main surface. For example: when the aileron trim lever is at center, it’s best
that the trailing edge of the aileron is aligned with the trailing edge of the wing
itself (not above or below the wing’s trailing edge).
6. Make sure that movements of the throttle stick result in an equal adjustment of
the throttle in the model. Depending on whether the model is electric or glow
powered:
a. Electric: confi rm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the electronic
speed control gives the appropriate indications (LED and/or audible indicators) for
full forward fl ight. And, when the throttle stick is at minimum position the electronic
speed control gives the appropriate indications for “off” or no motor rotation.
b. Glow: confi rm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the mechanical
linkage to the engine allows the engine to be at full throttle. And, when the
throttle stick is at minimum position and the throttle trim lever is moved to
minimum position, the engine stops completely.
7. Perform a range test as explained on page 39.
8. Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut down
power in the aircraft fi rst. Otherwise, the aircraft could become out of control and
cause a safety hazard! Move the throttle stick and throttle trim to minimum position
to stop the glow engine or shut down the ESC. Once the propeller has stopped
rotating, shut off the ON/OFF power switch in the model, and disconnect the
power battery from the ESC in electric airplanes. Then turn off the power switch
in the Tx.
1. Once all setup procedures have been confi rmed, and power has been removed
from the model and transmitter, prepare the model for fl ight.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful to stay clear from
moving propellers and blades!!
2. Make sure the glow engine fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, or power
batteries for electric models are fully charged.
