2)
If the nose of the plane falls, the plane
is nose heavy. To correct this first move the
battery pack further back in the fuselage. If
this is not possible or does not correct it, stick
small amounts of lead weight on the fuselage
sides under the horizontal stabilizer. If the tail
of the plane falls, the plane is tail heavy. To
correct this, move the battery and receiver for-
ward orif this is not possible, stick weight onto
the firewall. When balanced correctly, the air-
plane should sit level or slightly nose down
when you lift it up with your fingers.
CONTROL THROWS.
1)
We highly recommend setting up the
using the control throws listed at right. We
ET6
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 connectors.
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
measured at the widest point of each sur-
face!
INITIAL FLYING/SPORT FLYING
Ailerons high rate -3/8" up -3/8" down
Ailerons low rate -3/16" up -3/16" down
Elevator high rate -5/16" up -5/16" down
Elevator low rate -5/8" up -5/8" down
Rudder high rate - 3/4" left and right
Rudder low rate - 1-1/4 '' left and right
Do not use the aerobatic settings for
initial test flying or sport flying.
4) By moving the position of the adjust-
able control horn out from the control surface,
you will decrease the amount of throw of that
control surface. Moving the adjustable con-
trol horn toward the control surface will in-
crease the amount of throw.

4) 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.
5) Check to ensure the control surfaces
are moving the proper amount for both low
and high rate settings.
