4. Fit the pushrods into the middle holes of the elevator
and rudder control horns, then install a 90 degree pushrod
keeper over the end of each pushrod. (Later, the pushrods
may require adjustment in the screw-lock connectors on the
servos.)
5. Before moving onto the wing, it would be a good idea
to remove the cowl and make a quick inspection of the motor
mount area. Make certain the ESC and motor are securely
fastened. Reinstall the cowl.

Set Up the Radio

CAUTION: Do not install the propeller until
instructed to do so.
Perform steps 1– 4 if assembling the RTF edition with the
included Tactic TTX600 transmitter. If assembling the Rx-R
with a different radio, connect the servos to the receiver and
a battery so you can power up the system and set the servo
reversing switches so the controls respond correctly.
1. Confi rm that all four servo reversing switches in the front
of the transmitter are set to reverse. Install batteries in the
transmitter. Turn on the power and make certain the electronic
trims for the surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder) are centered.
2. Connect a battery to the ESC so you can operate the
throttle. With the system on, advance the throttle just enough
to make the motor turn, then turn OFF the transmitter and
make sure the motor stops turning to confi rm that the fail-
safe system is operating properly in the event of signal loss
(or if you ever accidentally turn off the transmitter before
disconnecting the battery).
Note: To start the motor, advance the throttle stick all the
way forward, listen to the beeps (counting the number of LiPo
cells – four beeps = 4S, three beeps = 3S), and then lower
the throttle stick. The motor will now turn.
3. If the motor doesn't stop when you turn off the transmitter,
the receiver may need to be relinked to the transmitter to
reset the failsafe. Unhook the receiver from the hook & loop
patch in the fuselage. Turn on the transmitter and move the
throttle stick and throttle trim all the way down. Relink the
receiver and transmitter by using a small screw driver to
push and hold the "Link" button in the receiver until the LED
in the receiver blinks twice. Release the button and the LED
should remain illuminated indicating that the Tx and Rx are
once again linked.
4. Repeat step 2 to confi rm that the failsafe is now
working properly.
