Note: 

To make trim adjustments to the elevator or 

rudder:

a. Turn on the transmitter.

b. Plug the fully charged 11.1V 1300mAh battery into 

the ESC.

c. Use elevator or rudder trim of the transmitter by 

moving the trim up or down to achieve the tail to be 

at neutral when the gimbal is also at neutral. If these 

changes are not sufficient, center the transmitter 

elevator or rudder trims. Loosen the spool from the 

control horn and move the control surface back to 

neutral. Re-tighten the spool.

Warning:

 Always keep hands and all objects  

away from the propeller in case the motor is 

engaged. A moving propeller can cause severe 

injury and damage.

Attaching the Horizontal Stabilizer

1. Locate the horizontal stabilizer.

2. Slide the horizontal stabilizer through the slot 

between the fuselage and the rudder.  Make 

sure the control horn installed in the elevator will 

properly align with the pushrod exiting the left side 

of the fuselage.

3. When you are certain the tail is centered correctly, 

use the tape provided to properly secure the 

horizontal stabilizer to the fuselage as shown.  Use 

the tape on the top and bottom of each side of the 

tail (total of 4 applications).

4. Turn on the transmitter, confirming the throttle stick 

is in the full down/idle position. 

5. Remove the canopy from the fuselage (attached 

with magnets). Plug the blue EC3 connector 

installed on the battery into the EC3 device 

connector installed on the speed control.

6. Install the pushrod through the hole in the keeper.  

Move the elevator to the neutral position and 

tighten the keeper.  The pushrod keeper comes 

pre-installed in the outermost hole of the control 

horn.  It is recommended to fly the Radian with the 

pushrods installed in the default positions until you 

become more comfortable with the controls.

Step 4

Step 5

Connecting the Rudder Pushrod

1. Loosen the pushrod keeper installed on the rudder 

control horn. The pushrod keeper comes pre-

installed one hole in from the outermost of the 

control horn.

2. Insert the rudder pushrod through the hole in the 

keeper.  Move the rudder to the neutral position 

and tighten the keeper.

At this time, your Radian RTF is now complete.

Once pre-flight control and range checks have been

completed, the Radian is ready to fly.
