Page 14: Transmitter Operation And Movement Of Each Servo
Transmitter Operation and Movement of Each Servo Before making any adjustments, learn the operation of the transmitter and the movement of each servo. (In the following descriptions, the transmitter is assumed to be in the operating state.) Aileron Operation When the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right aileron is raised and the left aileron is lowered, relative to the direction of flight, and the plane turns to the right. -
Page 15: Installation And Adjustment
NSTALLATION AND DJUSTMENT This section describes the installation and adjustment of the receiver, servos, etc. to the plane. Connections Connection examples are shown below. Connection Example •Four servos are supplied as standard. -15-... - Page 16 (Connector Connection) Insert the receiver, servo, and battery connectors fully and firmly. If vibration, etc. causes a connector to work loose during flight, the plane may crash. (Receiver Vibration proofing / Waterproofing) Vibration proof the receiver and battery by wrapping them in sponge rubber or some such material.

Page 17: Adjustments
Adjustments The operating direction, neutral position, and steering angle of each servo are adjustable. The basic linkage and adjustments, control layout, and servo, Rx and Nicad installation should conform to the fuselage design drawings and kit instruction manual. Be sure that the center of gravity is at the prescribed position. Adjustment Procedure Before making any adjustments, set all the SERVO REVERSING switches on the front of the transmitter to the lower(NOR) position and set both Dual Rate... -
Page 18: Using Other Functions
SING THER UNCTIONS Aileron/Elevator Dual Rate (D/R) Function The maximum travel of the aileron and elevator servos can be altered by operating the dual rate switch. For instance, when the switch is in the lower position, the deflection angle is the normal deflection angle. The normal deflection angle, at the low switch position, can be adjusted by the dual rate trimmers (AIL/ELV). -
Page 19: Stick Lever Spring Tension Adjustment
Stick Lever Spring Tension Adjustment The operating feel of the aileron, elevator, and rudder sticks can be individually adjusted by adjusting the stick spring tension. 1. Remove the four transmitter rear case screws and carefully remove the rear case. 2. Adjust the spring tension by turning the screw of the channel you want to adjust (clockwise to stiffen counter-clockwise to soften). -
