1. Turn on the radio and check the operation of the
servos. Make sure that both elevator servos are working
and moving in the same directions. You will need to use
a computer radio to mix the elevator channel to the AUX2
channel for the elevators. You will also need to set up
dual ailerons or flaperons to operate the two separate
aileron servos.
Note: When setting up the mixing for your radio,
make sure to disable the switches for the flaps
and the AUX2 channels so they don’t change the
control surfaces if they are moved accidentally.
SERVO REVERSING SETTINGS
Before setting the control throws, check to make sure the
servo reversing settings are set as follows:
JR 9503, 11X, 12X and Spektrum DX8:
Channel number Channel Name Position
1 Throttle Normal
2 Right Aileron Normal
3 Right Elevator Reverse
4 Rudder Reverse
5 N/A N/A
6 Left Aileron Normal
7 Left Elevator Reverse
8 N/A N/A
2. Check to make sure the servo horns are perpendicular
to the servos when the sticks and trims on the transmitter
are centered. If not, use the sub-trim feature to make sure
the servos are centered correctly.

3. Once the servos have been centered, it may be
necessary to loosen the 4-40 nut so the clevises can be
adjusted. Thread the clevis in or out on the elevator pushrod
so when the clevis is connected to the control horn, the
control surface is aligned with the fixed surface. Use a ruler
to verify the control surface is aligned with the fixed surface.
Once centered, slide the clevis retaining over the forks of the
clevis to keep it from opening in flight. Center both elevators
at this time. Tighten the 4-40 nut against the clevis to
prevent it from changing positions in flight.
