2. Position the motor battery on the tray. Attach the soft
hook-and-loop material to the rough material to secure the
battery in place.

GET THE MODEL READY TO FLY

Check the Control Directions

1. Switch on the transmitter, connect the motor battery to
the electronic speed control and switch on the speed
control.
2. With the transmitter and receiver 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 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

Use a Great Planes AccuThrow (or a ruler) to accurately
measure and set the control throw of each control surface
as indicated in the chart that follows. If your radio does not
have dual rates, we recommend setting the throws at the
low rate setting.
Note: The throws are measured at the widest part of the
elevators, rudder and ailerons.
These are the recommended control surface throws:
High Rate
ELEVATOR: 1/2" [13mm] up
3/8" [9.5mm] down 5/16" [8mm] down
RUDDER: 1-1/4" [32mm] right 1" [25mm] right
1-1/4" [32mm] left
AILERONS: 3/16" [5mm] up
3/16" [5mm] down 1/8" [3mm] down
IMPORTANT: The ElectroStreak ARF has been
extensively flown and tested to arrive at the throws at
which it flies best. Flying your model at these throws will
provide you with the greatest chance for successful first
flights. If, after you have become accustomed to the way
the ElectroStreak ARF flies, and you would like to change
the throws to suit your taste, this is fine. However, too
much control throw could make the model difficult to
control, so remember, "More is not always better."
