FLIGHT PREPARATION.
1) Check the operation and direction of the
elevator, rudder, ailerons and throttle.
A) Plug in your radio system per the
manufacturer's instructions and turn every-
thing on.
B) Check the elevator first. Pull back on
the elevator stick. The elevator halves should
move up. If it they do not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
C) Check the rudder. Looking from be-
hind the airplane, move the rudder stick to the
right. The rudder should move to the right.
 4) By moving the position of the adjust-
able control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
control surface. Moving the adjustable con-
trol horn toward the control surface will in-
crease the amount of throw.
 2) Turn on the radio system, and with
the trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, cen-
ter the control surfaces by making adjust-
ments to the clevises or adjustable servo con-
nectors. The servo arms should be centered
also.
 3) When the elevator, rudder and aile-
ron control surfaces are centered, use a ruler
and check the amount of the control throw in
each surface. The control throws should
be measured at the widest point of each
surface!

should move up and the other aileron should
move down. If it does not, flip the servo re-
versing switch on your transmitter to change
the direction.
E) From behind the airplane, look at the
aileron on the right wing half. Move the aileron
stick to the right. The right aileron
D) Check the throttle. Moving the throttle
stick forward should open the carburetor bar-
rel. If it does not, flip the servo reversing switch
on your transmitter to change the direction.
If it does not, flip the servo reversing switch on
your transmitter to change the direction.
2) Check Control Surface Throw.
A) The Rudder should move 3/4” left and
3/4” right from center. If it moves too far, turn
the adjustable control horn out away from the
rudder. Do the opposite if there is not enough
throw.
B) Both elevator halves should move 3/
8” up and 3/8” down from center. If they move
too far, turn the adjustable control horns out
away from the elevator halves. Do the oppo-
site if there is not enough throw. Both elevator
halves should also travel the same amount
throughout their total movement.
