Right
Stick movement corresponds to the wing tips as they dip up
and down! Holding a control stick in a given position keeps the
plane
continuously moving in that direction. To stop that movement, let
the stick go back to neutral.

Got "Hit"? Did the plane fly
erratically,
or do things you weren't
expecting?
Don't claim radio interference until
you check
the following:
1. Make sure the antenna on the transmitter is tight.
2. Check the charge state of the radio and receiver.
3. On the plane and transmitter, be sure the battery
connections
are tight.
4. Wiggle the switch to ensure a good contact
5. Check the receiver and ensure each servo plug
is seated.
6. Be sure the battery plug to receiver is seated.
7. Wiggle all the wires & connections
(including the
receiver antenna) to be sure
there are no broken wires!!!! |

|
The
voltage for the receiver battery should be not less than.
Five and half volts on a six
volt system if your are using the new Spectrum 2.4 system.

To help reduce the adverse yaw
associated with high wing aircraft set your 5 channel
or
more, computer transmitter for flapperons. Then
set flapperons at 50% differential
or more. (You must have one
servo
connected to the aileron channel
and the left wing aileron servo
connected to the auxiliary channel).
|
|
|
Mixing
the ailerons with rudder, 100%, helps to reduce the sloppy turns or
adverse
yaw associated with high wing
aircraft. However, using a "Y" is NOT recommended
because
rudder control is lost from the left stick. A computer
radio with
a "mix" is the only acceptable aileron - rudder mix method.

|
|
A downwind turn
WILL NOT
cause your plane to stall as long as you have sufficient
"air speed". No air speed equals a stall upwind or
downwind.
|
|
|
Always pre-flight your plane
and transmitter before every flight. Check control surface
for smooth movement,
proper direction and
throttle
response. Ensure all radio
switches are
in their normal positions.
If
something is not
right,
fix it or
don't takeoff!
