Control Test
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller
before starting the control test in the event that you
accidentally turn on the motor.
1. Be certain that the throttle slider is in the “off”
position and that both trim levers are centered.
2. Switch on the transmitter and check to make sure
the LED is lit, indicating the transmitter has power.
3. Install the flight battery into the fuselage and plug
it into the battery connector.
4. Move the stick from side to side. The ailerons on
the trailing edge of the wings should move per
your transmitter input. When the stick is pushed to
the right, the right aileron should deflect upward
and the left aileron downward, and vice versa.
5. Pull the stick back and the elevator control sur-
face should move upward (as shown).
6. Move the stick full forward. When this is done, the
elevator control surface should move down (as
shown).
7. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect
the flight battery first, and then turn off the trans-
mitter. This should be done each time you turn off
the airplane.
Note: It is very important to make sure that the
control surfaces are at 0 degrees when the transmit-
ter control stick and trim levers are centered. (See
Steps 5 and 8 for making needed adjustments to
control surfaces.)
If your airplane is not responding correctly to the
transmitter input, do not fly! Some correction is
needed. Call the Horizon Product Support line
at 1-877-504-0233.
Step 7
Making Adjustments to the Ailerons
Warning: Keep everything clear of the propeller
before adjusting the ailerons in the event that you
accidentally turn on the motor.
You may find some adjustment is needed to prop-
erly trim the ailerons. The ailerons are properly
trimmed when each aileron is level with the station-
ary wing surface. To do this, follow these simple
instructions:
Step 8
1. Make sure the throttle slider is in the “off” posi-
tion and then turn on the transmitter.
2. Install the flight battery and plug it into the lead
from the fuselage.
3. Most trim adjustments to the ailerons can be
made with the aileron trim levers on the trans-
mitter. Make sure the gimbal (stick) is at neutral
prior to making any trim changes.
