Control Direction Test
WARNING: Do not perform this or any other equipment test without
turning on throttle cut. Serious injury or property damage could result
from the motor starting inadvertently.
If the control surfaces do not respond as shown, DO NOT FLY. Refer to the
Troubleshooting Guide for more information. If you need more assistance,
contact the appropriate Horizon Hobby Product Support department.
1. Power on the transmitter.
2. Turn on throttle cut.
3. Set the flight mode switch to Experienced Mode.
IMPORTANT: Do NOT check the controls in the Beginner or
Intermediate Modes.
4. Place the model on level ground away from obstacles.
5. Power on the aircraft, and wait for it to fully initialize.
6. Move the sticks on the transmitter as shown in the table and observe the
control surfaces on the aircraft. Ensure the aircraft control surfaces respond
as shown and return to neutral when the control input is released.
7. Check for any binding in the control surfaces.
8. With the aircraft on a smooth surface, roll the aircraft forward by hand.
Push the rudder trim button on the transmitter left or right until the aircraft
tracks straight.
TIP: The transmitter emits a faint beep with each click of the trim buttons in
either direction. Holding the button in either direction quickly adjusts the trim
several steps until the button is released or until the trim reaches the end of
its travel. If the trim button does not beep when clicked, the trim is at the far
end of its travel. Center trim is indicated by a slightly louder beep.
Centering the Control Surfaces
After checking for correct control surface movement, release the transmitter
sticks. Check each of the control surfaces to make sure they are centered.
If adjustments are required, see the Control Surface Centering section for
details.
Before Your First Flight
Before attempting to fly this aircraft for the first time, we recommend using the
RealFlight Trainer Edition RC Flight Simulator (RFL1205, sold separately), along
with the SLT6LP transmitter included with the RTF Basic version to learn and
practice the basics of flying. The included transmitter may be connected to a PC for
simulator use with a standard USB-C cable. Featuring six popular Horizon Hobby
trainer aircraft and built-in Virtual Flight Instructor lessons, new pilots can learn to
fly successfully by practicing on a PC at home or on a laptop just about anywhere
else!
We also encourage you to connect with experienced RC pilots in your area
through hobby shops or at designated flying fields. And for those located in
the United States, we recommend joining a national organization such as the
Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA). The AMA can provide information on
local clubs, instructors and established flying sites in your area in addition to
insurance coverage. Visit www.modelaircraft.org for more information.
