5. Setup: Place your F4U Corsair on level ground. Plug in your battery flight pack and let it sit still, at this moment the plane is in auto self-calibration mode. The LED light on the stabilization device will keep flashing rapidly for 3-6 secs, then the light will remain solid. In the mean time the aileron, elevator and rudder control surfaces will move up/ down and left/right 3 times to indicate the self-calibration is successful.
