Please note: If you use any Powerbox or Receiver with a Gyro, or a separate Gyro like an
iGyro or Cortex, please make sure you mount them exactly horizontally. This is not so
easy at the Rebel HOT, because it does not have the level surface in front of the engine
bay. On the Rebel Classic 2m there is the level surface in front of the engine bay, perfectly
suited to install any Gyro.
Receiver batteries should have long enough wires to install them in the nose of the
airplane. Depending on the weight of the engine used, and the size of the batteries, they
might have to be moved back slightly, in the nose gear area or even behind.
Final Setup:
Center of Gravity: With empty main tank and full header tank: Front Edge of Wing Tube!
Control throws as a starting point:
Aileron 20 mm up/down
Elevator 15 mm up/down
Rudder 40 mm up/down
Flaps 25 mm for Take Off, max deflection for Landing
Elevator to Flap mix: Elevator proportional 3mm down at full Flap deflection
Both elevator and aileron are quite soft, no bad habits and no surprises. Rudder is very
effective, and for windy and bumpy weather a gyro seems to make sense.
Teach the engine throttle channel as instructed by the engine manufacturer. Make sure to
make a good engine test run on the ground, check the fuel system for air and fuel leaks.
Check your radio and make sure the control surfaces travel the right way and and the
Gyro compensations are to the correct side as well. Do not intend to take of before you
have done a range check according to your radio manufacturer's advice. And cycle the
gear a few times to make sure everything is working flawlessly.
Then you can attempt the first flight and we are sure you'll be totally blown away by the
performance of your new Rebel!
We wish you a lot of great flights and happy landings!
Your CARF-Team
