•OPENING THE TRANSMITTER REAR
COVER AND LOADING THE PENLIGHT
BATTERIES
4
• Remove the rear cover of the transmitter as
shown in Fig. 4 and load the 7 pen-cell bat-
teries in the correct polarity.
• Extend the antenna fully and set the POWER
switch to ON. The meter pointer should de-
flect to the green zone. If the meter pointer
does not move, or moves very little, check for
poor battery contact, incorrect battery polar-
ity, or faulty batteries.
• When the meter pointer enters the red zone,
the range of the radio waves will become
short. Change the batteries when the meter
pointer drops to the boundary between the
red and green zones.
• Use the trim lever to fine adjust each rudder.
This lever can also be used to adjust the neu-
tral position and the flight posture after the
mechanism has been mounted. However, after
test flight, all adjustments should be made
with the rod adjusters, etc. and the lever
handle should be left in the neutral position
as much as possible.
• The throttle stick neutral position can be
selected in 5 steps by moving the neutral lever
as shown in Fig. 2.
Adjust the neutral position to match the ap-
plication.
•With the NiCd system FP-T3EG, recharge the
battery as shown in Fig. 6(B).
The NT-8C is already installed.
• To change the elevator stick from a self-
neutral type to a ratchet type, install the slide
plate and remove the spring and stick arm as
shown in Fig. 3.
y Pay careful attention to the polarity y
of the 7 pen-cell batteries.
Wrap rubber bands around the
batteries to hold them in place.
