 AEROBATIC MIXING
The Ultra Stick 10cc is confi gured with separate aileron and fl ap servos which allows you to add a variety of mixes that
will greatly enhance the maneuverability of your model. Using these mixes is optional, and when setting them up, we
recommend testing them at a higher altitude until you have become familiar with their effects on your model.
Flap to Elevator Mixing:
Mixing the elevator to the fl aps will eliminate any pitch changes when the fl aps are applied. This will make take-off and
landing much smoother. We recommend mixing 21/32 inch (17mm) of down elevator to full down fl ap.
Rudder to Elevator Mixing:
Using a rudder to elevator mix will help in obtaining and maintaining knife-edge fl ight. We recommend starting with a
mix of 5/16 inch (8mm) down elevator with full right rudder, and a mix of 13/32 inch (10mm) of down elevator to full
left rudder.
Crow Mixing:
Using crow mixing will greatly slow your model during landing and extreme aerobatic maneuvers. We recommend
1 31 / inches (50mm) of down fl ap, mixed with 1
32
elevator. The roll rate of your model will be reduced with full crow, but will still remain fully controllable and aerobatic in
this confi guration.
Elevator to Flap Mixing:
For improved pitch response and a tighter turning radius, we recommend using elevator to fl ap mixing. Mix 35mm of
down fl aps to full up elevator.
Aileron to Flap Mixing:
The roll rate can be increased by mixing the fl aps to match the throws of the ailerons.
It is recommended to start with one mix and experiment with it until you are comfortable with how your model reacts,
then add each additional mix, one at a time.
We have thoroughly tested these mixes during our fl ight testing. We do recommend that you experiment with them and
make any adjustment, as each model and pilot will have their own interpretation of these mixes. Again, test them at a
higher altitude until you become familiar with how your model will react to each mix.

 PREFLIGHT CHECKLIST
• Charge the transmitter, receiver and motor battery for
your airplane. Use the recommended charger supplied
with your radio system. Follow the instructions
provided with the radio. Charge the radio system
the night before each fl ying session. Charge the
transmitter and receiver batteries using only included
or manufacturer-recommended chargers. Follow
all manufacturer's instructions for your electronic
components.
• Check the radio installation and make sure all control
surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle) move
correctly (i.e., the correct direction and with the
recommended throws).
• Check all the hardware (control horns, servo horns,
and clevises) to make sure they are secure and in good
condition.
• Prior to each fl ying session (and especially with a new
model), perform a range check of your radio system.
See your radio manual for the recommended range
and instructions for your particular radio system.
• Run the motor. With the model securely anchored,
repeat the range check procedure. The range should
not be signifi cantly affected. If it is, do not attempt to
fl y! Remove the radio equipment and have it inspected
by the manufacturer.

 DAILY FLIGHT CHECKS
• Check the battery voltage of the transmitter battery.
Do not fl y below the manufacturer's recommended
voltage. To do so can crash your aircraft.
When you check these batteries, ensure you have the
polarities correct on your expanded scale voltmeter.
• Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and bolts)
prior to each day's fl ight. Ensure that binding does not
occur and that all parts are properly secured.
• Ensure all surfaces are moving in the proper manner.
• Perform a ground range check before each day's fl ying
session.
• Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off your transmitter,
then turn it back on. Do this each time you start your
aircraft. If any critical switches are on without your
knowledge, the transmitter alarm will sound a warning.
• Check that all trim levers are in the proper location.
• All servo pigtails and switch harness plugs should be
secured in the receiver. Make sure the switch harness
moves freely in both directions.
