5. Plug the pre-installed speed control into the
throttle socket of your receiver, the right servo into the
elevator socket and the left servo into the rudder socket.
❏
6. Route all of the receiver antenna through the
plastic tube located behind the left servo. Caution:
Do not cut off the excess antenna exiting out the aft
bottom of the fuselage. Cutting the antenna will
reduce the range of the radio system.

1. Remove the motor battery from the charger.
Open the battery hatch cover on the bottom of the
plane and attach the motor battery, to the connector
from the ESC, inside the battery hatch.

2. If you are using a radio system that did not
come with the Aero Cruiser, follow the
manufacturer’s instructions to install the batteries in
the transmitter. To install the batteries in the
transmitter included with the Aero Cruiser RTF,
remove the battery cover and battery box from the
bottom of the transmitter and install eight “AA”
batteries in the battery box. Make sure you insert the
batteries according to the diagrams on the battery
box. Reinstall the battery box and cover. Switch on
the transmitter and check the LEDs on the front of the
transmitter. Like a traffic light, green and yellow
mean “GO!” However, if the red LED is glowing, you
need to install fresh batteries.
❏
3. This is also a good time to make sure that your
radio’s servo reversing switches are correctly set. If
you are using the transmitter included with the Aero
Cruiser, turn the transmitter over. The Ch1 switch
should be set to Norm, Ch2 set to Rev and the Mix
switch set to off. If you are using a radio system not
included with the Aero Cruiser, the servo reversing
will be covered in steps 8 and 9.
