Control Direction Test

Perform a control direction test to see how quickly your
sailboat responds to transmitter controls. In gusty wind
conditions, knowing how fast your sailboat responds can
make the difference between easy sailing and sinking
your boat.

Move the Rudder Control (C) on the transmitter to the
right. The rear edge of the rudder should move to the
right. Move the stick on the transmitter to the left.
The rear edge of the rudder should move to the left.
Use the STR (steering) reversing switch if the direction
is reversed.
Tip: If you find the boat is turning too quickly,
adjust the Steering (ST) Rate knob on the top
of the transmitter.
Move the Winch Control (A) up on the transmitter.
The winch in the boat will release control lines, so use
one hand to move the sails to the right or left. Move
the stick down on the transmitter. The winch will
pull in control lines.
Use the Throttle (THR) reversing switch on your
transmitter if you need to reverse the direction
the winch pulls in or releases control lines.

Ensure your boat and transmitter are bound before
doing these tests (see Binding). Move the controls on the
transmitter to ensure the rudder and sails move correctly
and in the proper direction. Ensure the rudder moves
freely and that the winch servo takes in and releases
control lines appropriately.
