k) Checking motor operation
First switch on the transmitter. Then switch on the model. The speed controller emits 6 short audio signals. When you move the motor speed control stick (see
ill. 2, pos.10) slowly from motor-off position towards full-motor-speed position, the motor should start running. If the response of the motor is inverted, use reverse
switch 3 (ill. 2, pos. 12) to change it.
Now check whether the propeller runs smoothly at low speed before running temporarily at full throttle.
Caution!
Make sure that no loose parts such as paper, film or other objects can be sucked in by the propeller during the test run. Also make sure that the
model is held securely during this test run and that no body parts are within the rotation range or danger area of the propeller.
If the motor does not start running, the protective circuit has been activated. In this case, move the motor speed control stick as well as the motor speed trim
slider (see ill. 2, pos. 11) to the lowest position. If you now move the control stick towards maximum motor speed again, the motor should start running.
l) Altering the Remote Control
You can swap the functions of the motor speed control stick and the elevator control stick by re-arranging the return spring and the stop spring of the control stick
units in the transmitter. Then swap the connector plugs of the elevator and the motor speed control on the receiver. Doing this, however, requires some
experience in handling remote controls. If you do not have this experience, you can send the transmitter to our customer service department to be modified.
m) Reworking the decal set
As the adhesiveness of the decal set might weaken over time, you can permanently attach the decal set to the model.
Take a normal iron or a steam iron with the water tank detached and wrap it into a tea towel that you do not need any more. Make sure there are no folds at the
ironing surface.
Start at the lowest temperature level and carefully press the decal set against the model with the front part of the heated-up surface of the iron. Owing to the tea
towel, the decal set does not stick to the iron.
If the iron is not warm enough to ensure permanent adhesion to the model, raise the temperature in small steps until you have determined the optimal setting.
Caution!
Do not use too much heat as the decal set as well as the model might be damaged. Never use a heat gun to attach the decal set. Heat guns produce
too much heat for the model.
The warrantee does not cover damage to the model caused but excessive heat.
n) Checking the centre of gravity
Due to the construction of the model, the centre of gravity is preset. It is located
approx. 90 mm behind the leading edge of the wing. When the model is lifted at
this point at the right and the left of the fuselage, it should be horizontal.
If necessary, the centre of gravity can be shifted by adding lead weights at the
tip of the fuselage or the rear fuselage or by changing the position of the flight
battery (see ill. 11).
However, only experienced model pilots should modify the position of the centre
of gravity in order to specifically adjust the behaviour of the model to individual
preferences and steering habits.
