d) Checking the Control Functions
Beforestartingyourmodelforthersttime,youneedtofamiliariseyourselfwiththeremotecontrol,thecontrolfunc-
tions and test the model functions. The functions and commissioning of the remote control system can be taken in the
corresponding operating instructions of the remote control.

transmitter.DependingonthenumberofcellsthatarerecognisedintheLiPobattery,theightcontroller'sreadiness
for operation is signalled by two brief signal sounds (two-cell rechargeable battery was recognised) or by three brief
signal sounds (three-cell rechargeable battery was recognised), followed by a longer signal sound.

Neutral Position:
When the control lever for the rudder, elevator and aileron functions and the respective trimming is precisely in the
centreposition,therudder,elevatorandaileronattheightmodelshouldbepreciselycentred.
Viewedfromtherear,theruddersandelevatorsmustformalevelwiththerudderandmustnotbedeectedtothetop
or bottom, left or right. The ailerons must be at one level with the wings.
If the ailerons and/or rudders or elevators are not aligned precisely, the rudders can be aligned precisely with the
linkage wires by twisting the clevises.
Elevator function:
Ifthecontrolstickfortheelevatorfunctionismoveddown,theelevatormustdeecttothetop.Therearrudder
