a. Electric: confi rm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the
electronic speed control gives the appropriate indications (LED and/or
audible indicators) for full forward fl ight. And, when the throttle stick is
at minimum position the electronic speed control gives the appropriate
indications for “off” or no motor rotation.
b. Glow: confi rm that when the throttle stick is at maximum position the
mechanical linkage to the engine allows the engine to be at full throttle.
And, when the throttle stick is at minimum position and the throttle trim
lever is moved to minimum position, the engine stops completely.
7. Perform a “range check.” The “range” is the safe operating distance from
the Tx to the Rx, and should be as far as you can clearly see the model.
With the assistance of another person, place the aircraft on the ground
and walk 100 feet (30m) away from the model. With the Tx pointed directly
at the model, operate the transmitter’s controls, and ensure the movement
of all surfaces is according to the movement of the transmitter.
8. Anytime power is to be removed from the radio system, it’s important to shut
down power in the aircraft fi rst . Otherwise, the aircraft could become out of
control and cause a safety hazard! Move the throttle stick and throttle trim
lever to minimum position to stop the glow engine or shut down the ESC.
Once the propeller has stopped rotating, shut off the ON/OFF power switch
in the model, and disconnect the power battery from the ESC in electric
airplanes. Then turn off the power switch in the Tx.
FLYING THE AIRCRAFT
1. Once all setup procedures have been confi rmed, and power has been removed
from the model and transmitter, re-attach the propeller to the model.
IMPORTANT: Be very careful to stay clear
from moving propellers!!
2. Make sure the glow engine fuel tank has an adequate amount of fuel, or
power batteries for electric airplanes are fully charged.
3. Move the Tx throttle stick to the minimum position, then turn on the Tx power
switch. Turn on the power switch in the model or connect the fl ight battery.
4. During the fi rst fl ight, it might be necessary to re-trim the aileron, elevator,
and rudder channels to allow the airplane to sustain smooth, even fl ight. If
further adjustments are required on the ground, make sure to turn off the
engine or ESC/motor before making such adjustments.
5. When the fl ight is completed, remove power from the system as described
before. Shut down power to the electronic speed control or glow engine fi rst,
then the receiver, and fi nally the transmitter.
