12. Checking the Servo Directions of Travel

Connect the servos inserted in the model to the receiver. Pay attention to the assignment of the receiver outputs as
described above.
If your model has two aileron servos, there is the possibility of operating both servos with a V-cable at one
receiver output.
Switch on the remote control, then take the receiver into operation.
At the correct connection, the servos at outputs 1, 2, 3 and 4 should react in the right direction to the movements of the
control levers according to the illustrations in figure 10 (see next page).
The linkage rods of the rudders must be adjusted so that the rudders are all aligned precisely centrally if the control
lever and the respective trim sliders are in the central position (also see top sketch in figure 10).
The left control lever for motor control can be pushed forward and back without being moved back to the
middle position by spring force. It always remains in the position into which it was last moved.
The motor control at the receiver output 3 must be set so that an electric motor is off when the left control lever is in the
bottom position.
If the model is operated with a combustion engine, the throttle servo linkage must be adjusted so that the motor is
running idle when the carburettor is nearly closed. Only when the trim slider for the motor function is also pushed all
the way to the bottom, the carburettor must close completely so that the combustion engine is switched off.
When the control lever is pushed to the top position, the motor has to run at full throttle.
Attention!
Only perform the motor test when the model is reliably secured against rolling away.
Make sure that neither objects nor body parts are in the rotating and suction areas of the propeller during
the motor test.
If the servos or rudders react in precisely the opposite manner, the reverse switches (see following chapter) can swap
the running direction of the servos.

Important!

Always switch on the transmitter first, then the receiver. When you switch off the devices, always switch off
the receiver first, then the transmitter.
Never switch off the remote control as long as the receiver is in operation. This can lead to unexpected
reactions by the model!
