Repairing Minor Damage
If you happen to crash, and part of the tail or wing breaks, you can repair the damage by using packing tape or Foam Safe super glue to repair
and cover the missing pieces. However, if the damage is severe, or if the wings and/or tail are bent, replace the damaged parts prior to flying
again. See the last few pages of the manual for a complete list of replacement parts for your Merlin Flight Product. To ensure that you minimise
the chances of any potential problems whilst using your Merlin Product we always recommend replacing any parts that look to be damaged before
use.
Receiver and Servo Wiring
Under normal circumstances there should be no need to unplug any of your aeroplanes wiring, however for reference purposes the receiver is
wired as follows.
Channel 1 = unused
Channel 2 = rudder servo
Channel 3 = electronic speed control (propeller)
Channel 4 = elevator servo
Your Merlin product is supplied with a transmitter labelled and suitable for 4 channel models. However for 3 channel operation the rudder is usu-
ally controlled form the right hand control stick (known as mode 2) which is labelled AIL for ailerons.
