If you notice that your airplane wants to turn
to either the left or right when the control
stick is centered, some adjustments are
needed as the control surfaces may not be
at neutral. To make in flight adjustments
simple and accurate, there are digital trim
buttons located to the bottom and side of
the control sticks. In most cases, a few clicks
in the needed direction (right or left) on
the digital trim buttons below the right-hand
control stick will correct the problem. Always
make sure the control sticks are centered at
neutral prior to making any adjustments.
1. With the transmitter on, the flight battery
plugged in and both sticks at neutral,
loosen the spool on the control surface.
2. Move the control surface back to neutral,
or even with the rest of the tail, and
re-tighten the spool.

Making Adjustments: Plane Turns to the Left or Right
If you are certain the control surfaces are at
neutral and the plane still “wanders” to the
left:
1. Adjust the tail (see below) so that the left
tail control surface is 1/16” above the
rest of the tail. This can be done by push-
ing the digital trim button located to the
lower right of the right-hand control stick.
2. Test fly.
3. If it is still flying on its own to the left,
repeat the above procedure until it flies
straight.
If the plane still “wanders” to the right:
1. Adjust the tail so that the right tail control
surface is 1/16” above the rest of the tail.
This can be done by pushing the digital
trim button located to the lower-left of
the right-hand control stick.
2. Test fly.
3. If it is still flying on its own to the right,
repeat the above procedure until it flies
straight.
IMPORTANT:
If there is a bend (even a small one) in the tail or wing or a tear near the flap
areas, it will be impossible to have correct flight control. Replace the damaged part immediately!
