Elevator Control Hub The full motion elevator needs attention when assemble. The pro-design kit includes a elevator hub that renders the elevator movement precise and maintenance free. Use coarse sandpaper to remove excessive paint on the elevator control rod. Make a slot on the control rod with dremel . Try assembling the collar. Make sure the collar with the M3 screw and control horn can lock the elevator rod without slop.

Ducted Fan Unit Attach double sided adhersive tape around both end of the EDF housing. This is to make a better seal to enhance the EDF efficiency. Assemble the ducted fan unit and anchor the ESC. Check the inflow duct clearance. Test run the EDF and ensure air is blow backward. Check for any excessive vibration.

Cockpit Trim the canopy and glue inside the fiberglass frame. Drill 4mm hole at front of the cockpit. Epoxy the 3cm FG rod in the front. Glue the magnets to the canopy. Control Throws The neutral position of the elevator should be the same horizontal level with main wing. The above photo shows the down elevator stick/ pitch up at low rate.

C.G. setting The idea C.G. position is 9cm behind the leading edge measured at where the wing meets the fuselage. Adjust the battery position to obtain the correct C.G. Check the C.G. before flying.
Page 12
At the first flight, it is prudent to check the C.G. In runway takeoff, slight finger pressure at the trailing edge of the elevator should be able to pitch up the aircraft. Enjoy! Take pictures and video of your scale looking, high performance ProDesign fighter!
