Control Surface Centering And Clevis Installation On A Control Horn

Always check to ensure your control surfaces (Rudder, Elevator and Ailerons)
are centered with the rest of the surface before every flight.. If the control
surfaces are not centered, centering can be achieved by following the
steps below:
• Pull the tube from the clevis to the linkage.
• Carefully spread the clevis, then insert the clevis pin
into the correct hole in the control horn.
• Move the tube to hold the clevis on the control horn.
IMPORTANT: All trimming and control tests should be done before throttle is
advanced, in Experienced Mode.

Installing the Flight Battery and Arming Electronic Speed Control (ESC)

CAUTION: Always disconnect the Li-Po flight battery from the aircraft
receiver when not flying to avoid over-discharging the battery.
CAUTION: Always keep hands away from the propeller. When armed,
the motor will turn the propeller in response to any throttle movement.
1. Rest the aircraft on a flat surface with the landing gear facing up.
2. Turn the latch (A) and open the battery hatch.
3. Lower the throttle and throttle trim, then power on the transmitter for at
least 5 seconds.
4. Center and secure the flight battery (B) in the battery compartment using
the hook and loop straps (C) so that the aircraft has a balanced Center of
Gravity (CG).
IMPORTANT: Before flying, refer to the "Verifying Your Aircraft's Center of
Gravity (CG)" section for details about final battery placement.
5. Connect the flight battery in the aircraft, then replace the battery hatch and
turn the latch.
6. Put the aircraft on its landing gear, on level ground and must be kept
immobile while the SAFE system initializes.
7. After the SAFE system initializes, the control surfaces will move back and
forth, then come to neutral to indicate the SAFE system has initialized and
is ready to operate.
IMPORTANT: All trimming and control test should be done before the throttle
is advanced, in Experienced Mode.

Turn the clevis on the linkage to change the length of the linkage between the
servo arm and the control horn.
