Tail Control Test - HobbyZone Firebird Phantom User Manual

Tail Control Test

1. Switch on the transmitter. Check the LED.
Do not touch the sticks for 2 seconds
while the transmitter automatically
calibrates the controls.
2. Install the battery in the fuselage slot
and plug in the connector. Do not arm
the motor.
3. The small buttons under and to the side of
the sticks are the digital trim buttons and
are used to adjust the "neutral" point of
your control stick. Each time the transmit-
ter is powered up, it should reset the trim
automatically. These should self-center
when you turn the transmitter on.
4. If you find that the control surface flap is
not level with the rest of the tail surface,
you can correct this with a few pushes of
the appropriate trim buttons.
5. Move the right stick side to side while
observing that the tail flaps are moving
as shown.
6. Move the right stick up and down while
observing that the tail flaps are moving

as shown.
The transmitter included with your
Firebird Phantom includes new digital
trim buttons.
WARNING: Keep everything clear of
the propeller when you conduct the tail
control test in the event that you acciden-
tally turn on the motor.
