c) Inspecting the Control Functions
After switching on the transmitter and connecting the rechargeable battery to the model's speed controller,
your model is ready for operation. The motor should not start up or hum in this moment.
Checktherudderlinkage.Movethesteeringwheelforsteering(gure6,item1).
Steering to the left must cause the rudder (viewed from behind in driving direction) to swivel to the left as well. If this
is not the case, you need to select the steering servo reverse function at the transmitter (see operating instructions
of the remote control).
If the steering wheel for the steering function at the transmitter as well as the trimming for it are in the neutral position,
the rudder must be placed centrally. Otherwise, the trimming at the transmitter must be adjusted accordingly (see
operatinginstructionsoftheremotecontrol).Alternatively,oriftransmittertrimmingisnolongersufcient,youneed
to readjust the linkage with the control wheel in the neutral position and neutral trimming by loosening the screws at
thelinkagelevers(gure3,item3).
"Metal / metal" screw connections must be secured against unintended loosening either with so-called "stop
nuts" or with a drop of thread locker varnish.

of the model's driving speed. The farther you push the lever to the handle, the faster must the ship's propeller turn and
the faster will the ship move forward.
If the motor only starts up when the throttle lever is pushed forward, you need to activate the "Reverse" switch at the
transmitter for the driving function. For this, observe the operating instructions of the remote control system.
The speed controller can also be programmed for "reverse driving" (see chapter 11). This function is not
