The throttle is to be set up so that when the throttle stick is all the way down, and the throttle trim lever is all the way up, the
carburetor will be
nearly
closed and the engine will run at a low RPM (“idle”). This will allow the engine to keep running when the
throttle stick is pulled all the way down (toward you) for landing. When it
is
time to shut the engine off after landing, move the trim
lever down to close the carburetor the rest of the way.
Adjust the Throttle
❏ 1. With the transmitter and receiver on, move the
throttle trim lever and the throttle stick all the way down.
❏ 2. Observe the opening in the
carburetor. If the carburetor is fully closed,
proceed to step 3. If the carburetor is
nearly, but not fully closed, loosen the
screw on the screw-lock connector on the
throttle servo arm and move the pushrod
forward until the carburetor is closed.
Securely tighten the screw.

❏ 3. Move the throttle trim lever all the way
up, but leave the throttle stick all the way
down.
Now
the carburetor should be partially
open about 1/32" to 1/16" [1 to 1.5mm].

❏ 4. Move the throttle stick all the way up. The carburetor should be fully open.
❏ 5. If you are not able to achieve these settings, more or less movement may be required
from the throttle pushrod. This is done by relocating the clevis on the carburetor arm to the other
hole, or by relocating the pushrod connector on the servo arm to another hole. From the factory,
the connector on the servo arm should be in the second from the inner hole, and the clevis on
the carburetor should be in the hole closest to the screw.
Carburetor Fully Open
The control surfaces (ailerons, elevator, rudder) are to be centered when the control sticks and trims are centered. Here’s how to do it:
Adjust the Elevator First.
❏ 1. With the transmitter and receiver on, center the elevator trim
lever on the transmitter.
❏ 2. View the elevator and stab from the end. If the elevator is not
centered with the stab (as shown in the sketch at the top), disconnect
the clevis from the elevator horn. Holding the end of the pushrod with
pliers, screw or unscrew the clevis as necessary until the elevator will
be centered when reconnected to the pushrod.

❏ 3. Center the rudder and both ailerons the same way. When finished, be certain to reconnect all the
clevises with the retainers.
❏ 4. Center the nose wheel by adjusting the pushrod in the screw-lock pushrod connector on the
rudder servo.
