RUDDER TRIMMING If you have an airplane that follows either path (A) or (B), cut the sides of the elevators as shown in the photo above. D = Airplane turns left. E = Airplane turns right. If your airplane follows path (A), bend the elevator tabs up. If your airplane turns to the right (E) during glide tests, bend the rudder to the left. If your airplane follows path (B), bend the elevator tabs down. If your airplane turns to the left (D) during glide tests, bend the rudder to the right. ❏ 3.
make your plane turn to the left. Moving the right stick to the right will make the plane turn to the right. RANGE CHECK Range check your radio before each flight. Switch on the transmitter first and then the airplane. Have a helper hold the airplane. With the transmitter antenna collapsed, walk 50 feet away from the airplane. Move both control sticks, checking that the motors run and turn off following the control stick movement.
