Step 4
Flight Control Test
Warning:
Keep everything clear of the propeller before starting
the control test in the event that you accidentally turn on the motor.
. Be certain that the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.
2. Move the right stick from side to side. The rudder should move
per your transmitter input.
3. Move the right stick full forward. When this is done, the elevator
control surface should move down.
4. Pull the right stick back and the elevator control surface should
move upward.
5. If your airplane is not responding correctly to the transmitter
input, do not fly! Some correction is needed. Call the Horizon
Support Team at -877-504-0233.
6. When the test is complete, be sure to disconnect the flight
battery first, then turn off the transmitter. This should be done
each time you turn off the airplane.
Note:
It is very important to make sure that the control surfaces
(rudder and elevator) are at 0 degrees, or neutral, when the right
transmitter stick is centered.
Step 5
Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces
. Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator
to neutral (zero degrees) when the right transmitter stick
is centered, should be possible using the digital trim buttons.
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 change the hole of the
control horn the pushrod goes into to achieve more control. We
suggest you fly it first as it has come from the factory and then
only move “in” one hole at a time.
Step 6
Flying
Choose a Large, Open Flying Site
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your ParkZone Micro
Citabria. It is ideal for you to fly in an indoor location with a floor area
of 40’ x 40’ and and a minimum ceiling height of 20 feet. We suggest
that first flights are done in a larger area, such as in a basketball court
or gymnasium.
If you choose to make your flights outdoors, the conditions MUST
be COMPLETELY CALM. The Micro Citabria weighs less than ounce
and can easily be blown away. If you choose to fly outdoors, remem-
ber to always keep the plane upwind from you to avoid flyaways.
