3. If you cannot get the fan unit to run smoothly by rotating
the cone, perform the same procedure with the fan—use the
dimple you marked on the brass rotor adapter to rotate and
realign the fan “one hex at a time” until the unit runs smoothly.
You should be able to pull the fan with your fi ngers, but if
necessary you can make this “fan puller” from a piece of 1/16"
[1.6mm] pushrod wire or music wire. You should be able to
fi nd an alignment combination of the fan and cone to get the
unit to run smoothly.

4. When fi nished, be certain to securely tighten the Phillips
screw with a drop of threadlocker.
Identify Your Model
No matter if you fl y at an AMA sanctioned R/C club site or if
you fl y somewhere on your own, you should always have your
name, address, telephone number and AMA number on or
inside your model. It is
required
at all AMA R/C club fl ying sites
and AMA sanctioned fl ying events. Fill out the identifi cation
tag on the decal sheet and place it on or inside your model.
Charge the Batteries
Follow the battery charging instructions that came with your
radio control system to charge the batteries. You should always
charge your transmitter and receiver batteries the night before
you go fl ying, and at other times as recommended by the
radio manufacturer.
CAUTION:
Unless the instructions that came with your
radio system state differently, the
initial
charge on
new
transmitter and receiver batteries should be done for 15
hours
using the slow-charger that came with the radio
system
. This will “condition” the batteries so that the next
charge may be done using the fast-charger of your choice.
If the initial charge is done with a fast-charger the batteries
may not reach their full capacity and you may be fl ying with
batteries that are only partially charged.
