Assistance from experienced flyer is absolutely necessary. # Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly pre-adjusted aircraft. SkyLink 40 is specially designed to be powered by 2C 0.40-0.55 engine, using a more powerful engine does not mean better performance. - Page 14 LINKAGE CONNECTOR HW7111050 & HW7111060 Drill 2mm hole at servo horn.
