❏ 1. Insert a rubber band as shown.

❏ 2. Lay one end of a colored streamer over the mount.

Insert one loop of the rubber band through the loop at the

other end. Pull it tight to hold the streamer in place.

❏ 3. Secure the antenna to the fuselage. If left to trail the

plane, it could become damaged while combating.

❏ 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 V-bends on the pushrods to center the control surfaces.

❏ 3. Make certain that the control surfaces and the motor

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.

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, or sport rate setting. Note: The 3D throws

recommended are extreme throws and should only be flown

by experienced pilots. They are very sensitive and could

cause the plane to seem uncontrollable to a novice pilot.

Sport rates are perfect, and recommended for, combat and

general aerobatic flight.

Note: The throws are measured at the widest part of the

elevators, rudder and ailerons.
