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.
1. Be certain that the throttle stick is down in the “Off” position.
Aircraft supplied with a Mode 1 transmitter will function with
the throttle /rudder operation on the right stick and elevator
operation on the left stick.
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. Mode 1 transmitters will
operate with elevator control located on the left stick.
4. Pull the right stick back and the elevator control surface should
move upward when using a Mode 2 transmitter.
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 1-877-504-0233, or find your local distributor
at www.horizonhobby.com to contact for assistance.
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
Reversing Flight Controls
Should the Vapor’s electronic components be used in another aircraft,
you may find it necessary to reverse the operation of flight control
surfaces. Please refer to the instruction manual included with your
transmitter for detailed instructions on reversing servo operation. JR,
LP5DSM and Spektrum radios should not require any servo reversing
to be completed.
Connect the flight battery and complete the flight control test,
confirming that all surfaces are operating in the correct direction. If
you find one or more servos need reversed, do so by following the
servo reversing instructions of your radio system.
