AZSA1500 Ares Sopwith Pup RTF Manual

5. Control unit initialization. Your Sopwith Pup is equipped with a compact

and advanced 3-in-1 control unit. This control unit is a lightweight

combination of a Hitec Red 2.4GHz receiver, two servos, and an

electronic speed control (ESC). Having plugged the ight battery in, this

unit will instruct the elevator and rudder control surfaces to move to

indicate that it has initialized and that the motor is now armed. The motor

will now start when the throttle stick is raised.

Note: If you have servo movement but the motor is not working, unplug

the ight battery, check that the throttle stick is at its lowest position,

then plug the ight battery. Once again this should re-initialize and arm

the electronic speed control.

6. Flight controls. Check the control surfaces, as below, noting that

instructions for servo reversing are given on page 13 of this manual.

Note, also, that on this 3-channel airplane the rudder function is

controlled by the aileron stick on the transmitter. So if the direction of

the rudder needs to be reversed, it will be the aileron channel that will

need to be reversed. NOTE: The pushrod for the elevator should be in the

outermost hole on the control horn while the rudder pushrod should be in

the hole before the outermost hole.

• With the model in front of you, facing away, move the rudder stick to the

right and check that the rudder moves right in response. Left rudder stick

will move the rudder to the left.
