  • Page 7 While holding the horizontal tail in place and aligned, secure it to the fuselage by threading eight small screws through the predrilled holes in the fuselage and into the horizontal tail. IMPORTANT Four screws should be installed on the top and four on the bottom. Tighten the screws gently. Overtightening them can strip the foam and plastic.

    SECTION 5: LEARNING TO FLY YOUR CORSAIR EP PARK SCALE RTF Step 1: Basic Operation Before actually flying your Corsair EP Park Scale RTF you should understand how the airplane is controlled. Below we list the four basic flight modes: Climb: Climbing is controlled by pushing the throttle control stick on the transmitter (the left-hand stick) completely forward to turn on the motor, then by pulling back on the elevator control stick (the right-hand stick).
  • Page 12 Looking from the back of the airplane, push the right-hand control stick completely to the left. The vertical control surface (rudder) should move left. Again looking from the back of the airplane, push the right-hand control stick completely to the right. The rudder should move right.

    Step 3: Choosing Your Flying Field The flying field you choose should be a large, open field with grass. There should not be any vehicles, buildings, power lines, trees, large rocks or anything else that your airplane can crash into. Step 4: Range Testing the Radio System After getting out to your flying field, but before you fly for the first time, you must range test the radio system.
  • Page 15 Double-check that the elevator and rudder control surfaces are moving in the correct direction. If they aren't, flip the servo reversing switches as described on page # 12. When you move the right-hand control stick forward and back, the elevator control surface should move down and up. When you move the right-hand control stick right and left, the rudder control surface should move right and left.
  • Page 16 When going into a turn, the airplane will have a natural tendency to lose some altitude. Unless you want to descend, you should gently pull back on the right-hand control stick to keep the airplane level during the turn. The steeper the turn the more altitude the airplane will lose and the more you will need to pull back on the control stick.
