Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces

1.   Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator to 

neutral (zero degrees deflection) should be possible using the trim 

buttons on the transmitter.

2.  If you find this is not the case, do not fly until this has been  

corrected.

3.  If corrections are needed, you may have to adjust the length of the 

pushrod by gently stretching or pinching the bend in the control 

wire as necessary. You can also achieve more control by changing 

the hole on the control horn that the pushrod connects to. We  

suggest you fly it first as it comes from the factory and then only 

move “in” one hole at a time.

Motor Test

1. Make sure the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.

2. Turn on the transmitter.

3.  Plug the flight battery into the white lead in the fuselage. This must 

be done carefully to avoid accidentally reversing the polarity and 

causing damage to the receiver/ESC and battery.

4.  Secure the flight battery. Gently press the battery pack against the 

hook and loop material on the underside of the fuselage.

5.  Advance the throttle forward and the propeller should spin at a 

high speed.

Caution:

 Make sure that you keep everything away from the

propeller at all times.

You may notice there is quite a bit of down thrust when looking at the
prop/prop shaft. This is intentional and is not a sign of damage.

Adult Supervision Required

Warning:

 Keep everything clear of the propeller and hold the plane

securely. A moving propeller can cause severe injury.

You will need two people to perform the range test: one to hold the plane
and the other to give transmitter input.

Warning: 

The person holding the plane should hold it in a way that

prevents the propeller from coming into contact with any part of their

clothing or body.

1.  One person holds the transmitter while the other person walks 30 

paces away with the airplane.

2. Be sure the throttle is in the “Off” position.

3. Turn the transmitter on.

4. Plug the airplane battery into the fuselage.

5.  As soon as the throttle is advanced, the propeller should spin 

quickly.

6.   As the first person moves the transmitter controls, the other  

person watches to ensure the airplane’s motor and tail controls 

operate smoothly.

Step 4 – Range Test
