Mechanical Elevator and Rudder adjustments
Trimming your ZOOM 2 is a very important procedure, and when properly trimmed your
plane will be a real pleasure to fly. The goal of trimming the plane correctly is to get it
flying straight and level at 'cruising speed', with no input from you on the transmitter
sticks (the elevator, and rudder sticks in their neutral positions) the plane should fly in a
straight line. The throttles stick in the halfway to two-thirds full power. On your ZOOM 2
you can make mechanical adjustments to the control surfaces (Rudder/ Elevator) along
with the trim adjustments on the radio. It is best to make the adjustments to the control
surface rod ends before adjusting the radio.
Learn To Fly
Hand Launching Your LiteHawk ZOOM 2.

(Remember under 15 km/h (10 mph) wind). Hold the plane in
your right hand.
- Move the left joystick (throttle stick) to max power.
- Toss the plane into the wind slightly upwards angle. This is the
easiest and best way for beginners first flights.
- Once you have let go of the plane, move your right hand onto
the radio to operate the right control stick. Pull down on the
right side control stick to help the plane climb into the sky.
- Once you are comfortable with the height of the plane reduce
the throttle speed.
