Apply the Decals

1. Be certain the model is clean and free from oily
fi ngerprints and dust. Prepare a dishpan or small bucket
with a mixture of liquid dish soap and warm water—about one
teaspoon of soap per gallon of water. Submerse the decal
in the soap and water and peel off the paper backing. Note:
Even though the decals have a "sticky-back" and are not the
water transfer type, submersing them in soap & water allows
accurate positioning and reduces air bubbles underneath.
2. Position decal on the model where desired. Holding the
decal down, use a paper towel to wipe most of the water away.
3. Use a piece of soft balsa or something similar to
squeegee remaining water from under the decal. Apply the
rest of the decals the same way.

GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY

Check the Control Directions

1. Apply the loop side of the self-adhesive hook and loop
material to your fl ight battery. Install the pack in the battery
compartment and strap it down.
2. Turn on the transmitter, plug in the battery and center the
trims (remember the fl ight battery should never be plugged in
if the transmitter is off!). If necessary, remove the servo arms
from the servos and reposition them so they are centered.
Reinstall the screws that hold on the servo arms.
3. With the transmitter still on and the fl ight battery plugged
in, check all the control surfaces to see if they are centered.
If necessary, adjust the clevises on the pushrods to center
the control surfaces.

4. Make certain that the control surfaces and the throttle
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram.
If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use
the servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.

Set the Control Directions

Use a Great Planes AccuThrow (or a ruler) to accurately
measure and set the control throw of each control surface
as indicated in the chart that follows. If your radio does not
have dual rates, we recommend setting the throws at the
low rate setting.
NOTE: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
