Control Throws

These control throws are merely a starting point for
your radio setup and can be tailored to fit your flying
style.

Balance
50.Balancing your model is very important and must
not be overlooked. The center of gravity (CG) is
2 3/4" behind the leading edge of the wing near
the wing root, parallel with the fuselage. You can
adjust the battery pack forward or backward to
reach the right CG.

FIRST FLIGHTS

Checks You Should Make

Before you attempt to fly your model you should
perform some final checks:
1. Fully charge your radio and flight batteries following
the manufacturers instructions.

2.Check the direction of travel of your control
3.Range check your radio system per the
4. Double check that you have installed the screws in

the servo control arms and that the clevis are
snapped tightly on the control horns.

experienced R/C pilot to learn to fly if you are just
beginning. You should be able to find help at your

Flying Your E-Hawk

1/2"
3/4"
First of all, if you are flying with other flyers, check to
make sure they are not operating on the same
3/4"
frequency as you. If they are, do not turn on your
radio until they have safely landed and have turned
their radios off.
Secondly, even though the E-Hawk is very easy to fly,
if you are a novice modeler/pilot, we highly
recommend that you seek the help of an experienced
modeler for your first few flights. He can save you a
lot time and possible disappointment by helping you
get your model in the air safely and getting it trimmed
out for you.
Important: The radio control system is set up to
operate the control surfaces just like a real airplanes
as if the pilot (you) are sitting in cockpit controlling the
airplane. When you want the plane to dive, you push
the elevator stick forward (up), to climb you pull the
stick back (down), to turn right, you move the aileron
stick to right with elevator up and visa versa. When
you want to turn the motor on you push the throttle
stick forward and when you want to turn the motor off
2 3/4" ( you pull the stick back. It is the turning that causes
the most problems with novice pilots because when
the plane is flying towards you a right turn command
on the transmitter cause the plane to turn to your left
(which is the planes right).
Fortunately the up and down commands do not
change. The easiest way to conquer this problem is
to try and always face your body near the direction the
planes is flying. This means that you will have to look
over your shoulder at times, but many modelers find
this an easy way to learn.
