Control Test
You must test the controls prior to the first flight to ensure none
of the servos, linkages or parts were damaged during shipping
and handling and the controls function in the correct directions.
Turn the transmitter on first and lower the throttle stick
completely. Then, plug the battery into the battery lead of the
receiver unit.
Note: The connectors on the battery and battery lead are
keyed to prevent reverse polarity connection.
However, if you force them together in the wrong
orientation and with the wrong polarity, it is still
possible to damage the battery and/or receiver unit.
To help further prevent a reverse polarity connection,
one side of the end cap on the battery and the
connector on the battery lead of the receiver unit
have a red dot. The connectors are oriented for a
proper polarity connection when the red dots are on
the same side.
Move the elevator stick on the transmitter forward and backward
to check elevator pitch control. When the stick is pushed
forward, the elevator should move down. This will cause the nose
of the airplane to drop in flight.
When the elevator stick is moved backward, the elevator should
move up. This will cause the nose of the ariplane to lift in flight.
Move the rudder stick left and right to check turn control. When
the stick is pushed to the right, the rudder should also move to
the right.
With the rudder stick pushed to the left, the rudder should move
to the left.
If at any time during the test the controls respond in the
opposite direction, reverse/change the direction of operation
of the flight controls. To do this, consult the Reversing Flight
Controls section.
After reconfirming the flight control directions, all controls should
function properly.
Digital Trims
The HobbyZone 2.4GHz DSM2 transmitter features digital trim
buttons next to the control sticks to make fine adjustments. Use
these to center the control surfaces. If there is not enough
digital trim available, mechanically adjust the loops in the control
linkages to center the surfaces.
Transmitter Binding Instructions
In the event you need to re-bind your transmitter to your airplane,
follow the steps below.
1. Plug battery into airplane with the transmitter turned off.
2. When you see the LED on the receiver begin to flash while
looking through the opening at the back of the battery cavity
of the Champ, push the left stick of the transmitter inward
into the case (NOT pulling down on throttle stick) until you
hear it click.
