These two 1500mAh batteries (both 11.1V) are
being joined in PARALLEL. The result will be
one 11.1V, 3000mAh battery.

This is a PARALLEL battery adapter (GPMM3142)
that connects two batteries in parallel.
2. Connecting batteries in "Parallel" means to connect the
+'s to the +'s and the -'s to the -'s. This combines the battery's
capacities, but the Voltage remains the same.
NEVER connect battery packs with different Voltages in
Parallel–only combine in Series. Otherwise, the batteries
will try to "equalize" with the larger one trying to "charge" the
smaller one, thus causing heat and likely a fi re.

Check the Control Directions

❏
1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver and center the trims.
If necessary, remove the servo arms from the servos and
reposition them so they are centered. Reinstall the screws
that hold on the servo arms.
❏
2. With the transmitter and receiver still on, check all the
control surfaces to see if they are centered. If necessary, adjust
the clevises on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.

3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the carburetor
respond in the correct direction as shown in the diagram.
If any of the controls respond in the wrong direction, use
the servo reversing in the transmitter to reverse the servos
connected to those controls. Be certain the control surfaces
have remained centered. Adjust if necessary.

Set the Control Throws

To ensure a successful fi rst fl ight, set up your F-1 Rocket
according to the control throws specifi ed in this manual.
The throws have been determined through actual fl ight
testing and accurate record-keeping allowing the model to
perform in the manner in which it was intended. If, after you
have become accustomed to the way the F-1 Rocket fl ies,
you would like to change the throws to suit your taste, that
is fi ne. However, too much control throw could make the
model too responsive and diffi cult to control, so remember,
"more is not always better."
❏
1. Hold a ruler vertically on your workbench against the
widest part (front to back) of the trailing edge of the elevator.
Note the measurement on the ruler.
❏
2. Move the elevator up with your transmitter and move
the ruler forward so it will remain contacting the trailing edge.
The distance the elevator moves up from center is the "up"
elevator throw. Measure the down elevator throw the same way.
