Before your first flight make sure the aircraft’s
control surfaces are centered.
1. Power on the transmitter and then the aircraft.
2. Set all transmitter trims and sub-trims to zero.
3 Check the control surfaces to make sure they
are centered.
4. If centering is required, use a pair of pliers to
carefully bend the metal linkage
(see illustration).
In flight trimming may be required
During your first flight, the aircraft should fly
straight and level. Use your transmitter trims to fine
tune the aircraft’s flight path until its flight path has
been corrected. Any transmitter trim that requires
4 or more clicks of trim (per channel), should be
mechanically centered. Note the control surface’s
postion and return the transmitter trim to zero.
Adjust the linkages mechanically so that the control
surfaces are in the flight trimmed position.
Control Centering
Factory Control Horn Settings
The illustration shows the factory settings for
linkages on the control horns. Linkage connections
on the control horns directly affect aircraft response.
CAUTION: When the control horns and arms
are incorrectly connected for the pilot’s skill level,
unexpected aircraft response to controls can result.
This can cause damage to the aircraft and personal
injury.
Aileron Elevator Rudder
Make the U-shape narrower to make the
connector shorter. Make the U-shape wider to
make the linkage longer.
