Receiver & ESC
ESC shown on the left underside. Either
side is acceptable if mounting the battery
as shown below. In general the ESC and
Receiver should be located on the opposite
side as the battery. Equalize the balance
from side to side in how you locate the
items
Servo wires and leads can be tucked in
behind the truss if desired

Control Surface Centering
It is important to note that control surface
centering will be effected by ambient
temperature. EPP foam will expand and
contract when the temperature changes,
which in turn will change the position of the
control surface. This is normal and NOT the
result of a faulty servo. If flying in fluctuating
temperatures, simple adjust the trim before
each flight.

Control Throws
3D Flight : 35 to 45 degrees all surfaces
60 to 75% expo
Sport : 20 to 30 degrees all surfaces
30 to 45% expo
For 3D flight, set all the control throw up
at 35 to 45 degrees. This airframe is very
equally balanced and designed to like
similar throw movements.
Experiment with Expo and Dual Rates to
suit your own flying style.
