CONTROL THROWS
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.
When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the
transmitter if necessary.
2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the
transmitter will make the elevator move up.
3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make the
right aileron move up and the left aileron move down.
4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and rudder.
PLEASE DO NOT INCREASE CONTROL MOVEMENTS FROM THOSE SHOWN BEFORE FIRST FLIGHT! This model is very
responsive to pitch and roll with small movements.

PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
• Charge the transmitter, receiver and motor batteries. Follow the instructions provided with the charger. Follow all
manufacturer’s instructions for your electronic components.
• Check the radio installation and make sure all control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, and flaps) move correctly
(i.e., the correct direction and with the recommended throws).
• Check all the hardware (control horns, servo horns, and clevises) to make sure they are secure and in good condition.
• Prior to each flying session (and especially with a new model), perform a range check of your radio system. See your
radio manual for the recommended range and instructions for your particular radio system.
DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS
• Check the battery voltage of the transmitter battery. Do not fly below the manufacturer’s recommended voltage.
Doing so can cause your aircraft to crash.
• Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and bolts) prior to each day’s flight. Ensure that binding does not occur
and that all parts are properly secured.
• Ensure all surfaces are moving in the proper manner.
• Perform a ground range check before each day’s flying session.
• All servo leads and switch harness plugs should be secured in the receiver.
