The figure shows the LiPo battery held in place by hook-and-loop cable ties, the
speed controller, and the GR-16 HoTT receiver. Push the servo power lines into the
receiver before using two M4 plastic screws
to mount the wing on the fuselage
Rudder deflections
The following rudder deflections are recommended, but can be changed as desired.
Ailerons 15 mm in each direction, elevators 15 mm in each direction, rudder 30 mm.
All measured at the inboard or bottom edge of the rudder. For airbrake deflections,
see the section on "The wing."
Balancing
Check the balance with the model in ready-to-fly condition, meaning with the LiPo
inserted. The centre of gravity is 55 mm from the leading edge of the wing. Adjust it
by moving the LiPo battery as needed. Check the centre of gravity by simply
supporting the model near the centre of gravity under the wing on two fingers. The
model should balance level at the point indicated.
Flying
Fly the model for the first time with rudders in the neutral position on a day with little
or no breeze. A smooth runway into the wind is ideal for a ground start. If no runway
is available,
the model can be started by means of a hand start into the wind. Use minimal aileron
and elevator corrections to keep the model in a straight climb. The fine trim is done
via the trim slider below or next to the joysticks. Always land the model flying directly
into wind, with the motor idling but not switched off. Just before touch-down reduce
air speed through careful use of up-elevator. Always land the model into the wind.
Here at GRAUPNER Modellbau, we hope you will have many enjoyable flights with
your new aircraft model, the
SEA FURY
