Open the battery compartment, disconnect the battery hol-
der as shown, and remove the battery box.
Undo the four screws in the back panel of the transmitter.
Fig. 11
Raise the transmitter back panel and disconnect the power
supply connector as shown. Caution: take care not to pull
out the aerial or the aerial guard.
Fig. 12
Undo the screw which disables the centring lever: this
makes the function self-neutralising.
Fig. 13
Raise the centring lever on the second stick unit, and tigh-
ten the screw until it rests under the lever: this function is
now non self-neutralising.
Fig. 14
Undo the stick ratchet spring and remove it.
Fig. 15
Fit the ratchet spring on the other stick unit.
Fig. 16
Locate the stick mode select switch on the circuit board,
and move it to the opposite end-point.
Plug in the power supply connector again.
Replace the transmitter back panel and fit the four retaining
screws.
Place the battery box in the well and re-connect it. Close
the battery compartment cover.

4 Rudder
5 - 1 Not used
Operating the model for the first time, checking the wor-
king systems
The transmitter is shown in Mode 1, i.e. the converted state.
Figs. 18 and 19
Set the throttle stick to Idle (towards you), and move the
throttle trim back to its end-point. If you ignore this, the
motor could start running unexpectedly.
Open the battery hatch in the model.
Switch the transmitter on; the display will flash.
Immediately connect the flight battery in the model, but
do not move the model.
When the transmitter display stops flashing, the system is
initialised.
Place the flight battery in the battery well, and close the
cover.
This procedure must be repeated every time you intend to
fly the model.
Fig. 20
Place the model on the ground and stand behind it.
Move the rudder stick to the right, and the rudder should
also deflect to the right.
Pull the elevator stick back towards you: the trailing edge of
the elevator should rise.
Check the direction of rotation of the motor: when viewed
from the front, the propeller must rotate anti-clockwise.
We recommend that you allow the motor to bed-in for the
period of one battery charge. Hold the model securely, with-
out lifting it, and run the motor at moderate speed (approx.
quarter-throttle).

Preparations for the first flight
Give the flight battery and the rechargeable transmitter cells
(if fitted) a full charge before flying the aeroplane.
Note: keep well clear of the rotational plane of the propel-
ler whenever you are working on the model -
assembling, adjusting or maintaining it -
tes an injury hazard. Ensure that nobody is standing in
front of the model when the motor is running.
Please read the sections entitled "Routine pre-flight
checks" and "Flying the model" in the "Safety Notes"
before attempting to fly the model for the first time.
The model can be flown indoors in a reasonably large hall,
or outdoors in calm conditions; there should be no more
than a gentle breeze.
Initialise the system and repeat the check of the working
systems.
If you are flying indoors, the model can be taken off from the
ground.
If you are flying outdoors, a hand-launch may be necessary
unless you have a smooth surface available for a ground
take-off. In either case always launch directly into any bre-
eze.
Seek out a grassy field devoid of obstacles. Don't fly in resi-
dential areas or close to people.
Place the model on the ground, and open the throttle very
gently until it is moving forward.
Now apply full-throttle to pick up flying speed, and apply
slight up-elevator to lift off.
Reduce the throttle setting until the model is climbing stea-
dily.
The model is small, so don't leave it too long before flying a
turn. Don't let the aeroplane get out of sight!
Tip: remember that the rudder function works "the wrong
way round" when the model is flying towards you.
