Preflight Check; Control Throws - Seagull Models ZERO FIGHTER Assembly Manual

ZERO FIGHTER.

PREFLIGHT CHECK

! 1) Completely charge your transmitter
and receiver batteries before your first day of
flying.
! 2) Check every bolt and every glue joint
in the ZERO FIGHTER to ensure that every-
thing is tight and well bonded.
! 3) Double check the balance of the air-
plane. Do this with the fuel tank empty.
! 4) Check the control surfaces. All should
move in the correct direction and not bind in
any way.
! 5) If your radio transmitter is equipped
with dual rate switches double check that they
are on the low rate setting for your first few
flights.
! 6) Check to ensure the control surfaces
are moving the proper amount for both low
and high rate settings.
! 7) Check the receiver antenna. It should
be fully extended and not coiled up inside the
fuselage.
! 8) Properly balance the propeller. An out
of balance propeller will cause excessive vi-
bration which could lead to engine and/or air-
frame failure.
We wish you many safe and enjoyable
flights with your

! 1) We highly recommend setting up the
Zero using the control throws listed at right.
We have listed control throws for both Low
Rate (initial test flying/sport flying) and High
Rate (aerobatic flying).
! 2) Turn on the radio system, and with the
trim tabs on the transmitter in neutral, center
the control surfaces by making adjustments
to the clevises or adjustable servo connec-
tors. The servo arms should be centered also.
! 3) When the elevator, rudder and aileron
control surfaces are centered, use a ruler and
check the amount of the control throw in each
surface. The control throws should be mea-
sured at the widest point of each surface!
