CONTROL THROWS

1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the movement of the rudder using the transmitter.
When the stick is moved to the right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo at the
transmitter if necessary.
2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving the elevator stick toward the bottom of the
transmitter will make the elevator move up.
3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving the aileron stick to the right will make the
right aileron move up and the left aileron move down.
4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and rudder.

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.
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.
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.

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

• Charge the transmitter, receiver and motor batteries. Follow the instructions provided with the charger. Follow all

manufacturer's instructions for your electronic components.
• Check the radio installation and make sure all control surfaces (aileron, elevator, rudder, and fl aps) 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.
