ADJUSTMENTS

1. General fuselage adjustments

Make the basic fuselage linkage connections and adjust-

ments specified in the fuselage manufacturer's assembly

manual. In particular, check that the center of gravity is within

the specified range.

Also make the receiver, servo, and battery connections in ac-

cordance with "CONNECTION OF RECEIVER, SERVOS,

ETC." instructions on page 4.

[!] Be sure to read and follow all of the "(Installation precau-

tions)".

Before starting adjustment, carefully read the "Transmitter

Operation and Control Surface Movement" section below.

(Transmitter Operation and Control Surface Movement)

The following descriptions assume that the transmitter is held

in the hands in the normal position.

a)When the aileron stick is moved to the right, the right wing

aileron is raised, the left wing aileron is lowered, and the

plane will bank to the right. When the stick is moved to the

left, the reverse maneuvers are performed.

b)When the elevator stick is pulled back. the elevator is

raised and the airplane climbs (Up operation). When the

elevator stick is pushed forward, the elevator is lowered

and the airplane dives (Down operation).

c)When the throttle stick is pulled back, the engine throttle

lever arm moves to the slow (low speed) side. When the

throttle stick is pushed forward, the engine throttle lever

arm moves to the high (high speed) side.

d)When the rudder stick is pushed to the right, the rudder is

deflected to the right and the nose of the airplane turns to

the right. When the rudder stick is pushed to the left, the

rudder is deflected to the left and the nose of the airplane

turns to the left.

(Adjustment procedure)

1) Initial trimmer and switch setting

Before making any adjustments, open the battery cover at the

back of the transmitter and set the trimmers and DIP switches on

the trimmer panel to the initial state shown below.

* Turn all nine trimmers fully clockwise (to the number 10)

with the miniature screwdriver supplied.

* Set all the switches (DIP switch No. 1 to 9) to the lower

position.

(Turn on the transmitter and receiver power switches

and make the adjustments described below.)

2) Make the basic adjustments (deflection angle) specified in

the airplane design drawings or instruction manual.

3)Check the direction of operation of each servo.

If a servo moves in the wrong direction, switch its reversing

switch. (In this way the direction of operation can be

changed without changing the linkage.)

[!] Be especially careful of the direction of operation of the ai-

leron servos.

Servo reversing switch

(Setting)

The servo reversing switches (SERVO REVERSER)

(DIP switch Nos. 1 to 6) on the trimmer panel can be set

for each channel.

The lower (NOR) position is the normal position and the

upper (REV) position is the reverse position.

4)Check the neutral adjustment and left and right (up and

down) travel of each servo.

If the neutral position has changed, or the travel is incor-

rect, readjust it by changing the servo horn position on the

splined shaft or by changing the hole position on the servo

horn. (Adjust the neutral position by servo horn position

when the transmitter trimmer is at the center.)

5)Check the engine throttle linkage.

The throttle is opened fully when the throttle stick is set to

the high position (pushed forward) and is closed fully when

the throttle stick is set to the maximum slow position (pulled

back).

6) The throttle or rudder servo travel can be trimmed with the

following throttle ATV or throttle AST/rudder AST function.

Select the function you want to use.

Throttle ATV functioni

(Function)

The high and low throttle servo travel can be adjusted

independently. Use this function to compensate for

throttle linkage variations. The travel rate can be ad-

justed from 30% to 100% of the total servo travel (each

side) as shown in the figure.

(Setting)

To activate the throttle ATV function, set the rudder AST

(RUD.AST) ACT/INH switch (DIP switch No. 9) on the

trimmer panel to the INH (lower) position. (Be aware that

the rudder AST function and throttle ATV function cannot

be used simultaneously.)

* High side travel adjustment:

Adjust the high side travel with the high side trimmer (H)
