Adjustment
1. Sail Adjustment
A. When the sail winch transmitter
control stick is in the full "down"
position, the sail winch servo drum
should rotate and the sail control
lines are tight. Jib sail and main sail
now are at about 0-degree. If not,
you may adjust the string length.
B. With winch drum is in the "full up"
position, open the main boom to a
deflection of about 80-degree.
C. It will be necessary to readjust
the "full down" setting again, as both
of these adjustments are effected by
one another. The goal is to reach the
best compromise possible.
D. Normally use the trim on transmit-
ter will help the adjustment. If use a
quality radio which has end position
adjustment function then it will be
much easier to adjust sail angle.
E. If user use other servo then the
control throw might vary. In this
situation, user will have to change
the position of the Chain Plate on
Main Boom and the Slider on Jib
Boom. Drill 1/16" holes at the
desired position then use furnished
2x8mm wood screw to secure the
slider and the chain plate.
2.Rudder Adjustment:
Make sure that the rudder deflects
30-degree in each direction. If it
does not, move the clevis closer to
the center of the servo arm.
