RADIO CONTROL SETUP
Please also study your computer radio instruction manual carefully for the programming and
the proper setup of each function on this airplane.
Flaps setting procedure:
Please do not have the flap control linkages attached until you have the radio set up done.
Once you have set up your radio you may install the control linkages and fine tune the flap
control surface travels evenly on both sets of flaps on both wings.
1.Switch on your radio, press menu and go to the Aircraft Type, choose a type with a 2 aileron and
2 flap setup. After that, assign a 2 way switch for the flap channel and an aux channel with which
to operate the outboard flaps and inboard flaps.
2.Flap (outboard flap} Flap 2 (inboard flap)
3.Plug the Flap servo leads into the designated channel outputs of your receiver according to the
channel assignment of your radio.
4.Connect a flight battery pack to the ESC.
5.Go to the Flap setup menu.
6.In the menu, set the Flap and Flap 2 value to 40% of the total travel as a starting point. Please
also check at this time that the servo travel and direction of all the flap servos are operating with
the same travel and in the same direction. If not please reverse any servo(s) that are traveling in
the wrong direction and adjust the throws.
7.Adjust the servo arm until it reaches an angle of about 20 degree by using the sub trim on the
radio. Then install the servo arm and flap control linkage to one side of the outboard flap. The Z
link should be installed on the second hole from the servo output shaft. Install the ball link socket
to the flap control horn with the supplied screw and lock nut.
8.First adjust the flap in the retracted position. Go into the menu and adjust the value until you see
the flap is fully retracted. There might be some buzzing sound coming from the servo, if so adjust
the end point until the buzzing stops. Once satisfied with the retracted setup, we then move next
to the flap deployment.
9.Flip the flap switch to the extended position, go into the menu and adjust the end point value until
the flap has traveled about 45mm down. Flip the switch to the middle position then adjust the sub
trim until you get 30mm down for mid-flap. Do not allow the outboard flaps to exceed the
indicated throws shown on Page #21 as this might
cause difficulties in controlling the plane when
the flying speed gets low. When you are satisfied with this setup you may proceed to do the
same on the other side.
10.Repeat the above set up from #7 to #9 for the inboard flaps, but set them at 22mm for full-flap,
and 11mm for mid-flap .
11.You may also adjust the ball socket on the linkages to ensure all the flap control surfaces retract
and deploy evenly.
