Final Assembly; Prepare The Model For Flying; Set The Control Throws - GREAT PLANES Slinger GPMA1180 Instruction Manual

Final Assembly

1. Install the battery in the battery compartment.The supplied
strip of Velcro tape can be used to hold the battery in place.
2. Fit the canopy (battery cover) to the center section. The
ESC can be held to the top of the battery with some Velcro tape.
3. The prop has a raised flat area at the center of the prop on
one side. This is the front of the prop, which must face the front
of the model when the prop is installed on the motor. Install the
spinner hub on the prop as shown in the above photo.
4. Install the prop on the motor. Make sure the prop is
clear of any obstacles. Turn on the transmitter and receiver.
Slowly advance the throttle and make sure the prop turns in
the proper direction. If not, reverse the wires to the motor.
IMPORTANT: Read the note that follows.
Note: If you are using the optional ESC be sure to follow this
arming procedure:
1.Turn on the transmitter and move the throttle to idle power.
2.Turn on the switch for the ESC.
3.Wait one second, then advance the throttle to full power.
4.Wait one second, then move the throttle to idle power.
5.The ESC is now armed. Moving the throttle to a higher
power setting will cause the propeller to rotate.
5. Apply the decals to the model as desired. Use the box
cover as a guide in applying any decals. You can also use
colored felt tip marking pens to color areas of the model
without adding any weight.

PREPARE THE MODEL FOR FLYING

Set the Control Throws

IMPORTANT: Whenever connecting the battery always
hold on to the fuselage incase the motor accidentally
receives power and the propeller turns.
1. Turn on the transmitter, connect the battery to the
speed control and turn on the receiver. Be certain the
ailevators and motor respond as shown in the chart. If
required, use the reversing function in the transmitter to
reverse any controls necessary so they respond correctly.
NOTE: Unless you are specifically checking the operation
of the motor, for safety remove the propeller from the
model while setting it up on your workbench.
2. Check the ailevators to see if they are centered. Use a
straightedge to align the bottom of the ailevators with the
bottom of the wing as shown above. If necessary, adjust the
clevises on the pushrods to center the ailevators.
