use the servo reversing in the transmitter (consult the radio
system instructions included with this kit), to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.
1. Moving the right control stick on the transmitter to the
right, observe the direction the ailerons move. The right
aileron should move up and the left aileron should move
down. Moving the control stick to the left should make the
ailerons move the opposite way.
2. Move the right stick down and observe the direction the
elevator moves. Moving the right stick down should make
the elevator move up.
3. Move the left stick to the right and observe the rudder.
Moving the left stick to the right should make the rudder (and
nose wheel) move to the right. Moving the left stick to the left
should make the rudder and nose wheel move in the
opposite direction.
To operate or "arm" the motor, the throttle stick must be in
the down or "OFF" position. When the plane's power is
switched "ON," you will hear a "beep." Move the throttle stick
to full power and you will hear another "beep." Move the
throttle back to the "OFF" position and you will hear four
"beeps." Caution: This indicates that the motor is now
armed and when you advance the throttle stick, the propeller
will begin spinning and thus, propelling the plane forward. If
it does not, the throttle reversing switch may be set
incorrectly. Disconnect the motor batteries and change
the throttle reversing switch. Retry the throttle arming
procedure. If the prop is turning the wrong direction (no air
blowing back towards the fuse), disconnect and switch any
two of the black wires between the motor and speed control.
The ESC will remain armed until you disconnect the motor
battery packs.
The ESC provided with the ElectriStar EP Select features a
brake function that is useful for some aircraft, but is
unnecessary for this model. The factory default setting is
"BRAKE OFF" but if you notice that the motor stops abruptly
when you shut down the throttle, the ESC will need to be
