Commissioning

a) Inspecting the Control Functions

A BEC is integrated in the speed controller installed in the model. This BEC generates the operating voltage
for the receiver from the drive battery (5 V/DC). Thus, a separate receiver battery is not required.
The speed controller is programmed ex works. These settings cannot be changed. It controls the electrical motor for
forward driving (100% motor output) and for reversing (approx. 50% motor output) gradually.
The combination of speed controller and motor is only designed for use up to a maximum 7.4 V nominal
battery voltage (max. 2-cell LiPo battery or 6-cell NiMH battery). When operating at a higher voltage, motor
and/or speed controller is destroyed. Loss of guarantee/warranty!
To protect against deep discharge, the speed controller switches off the motor at a battery voltage of 6 V in case of a
2-cell LiPo rechargeable battery (or a 6-cell NiMH rechargeable battery). If the motor stops again quickly after activa-
tion after extended operation of the model, or if it no longer starts up, this deactivation threshold is already reached.
In this case, stop driving at once and charge the drive battery.
If the speed controller is overloaded, it will switch off the motor at a temperature of approx. 95°C.
Before connecting the drive battery to the speed controller, it is important that the control lever as well as the asso-
ciated trim for the motor control at the transmitter are in the neutral position (centre position). if the speed controller
beeps quickly, the receiver has not received any signal from the transmitter.
After you have activated your transmitter and installed and connected the drive battery in the model on the intended
holders (also see figure 4), your model is ready for operation. The sail winch should not start up or hum at this moment.
The motor must not start up either.
Check the rudder linkage. Operate the control lever for the steering (see figure 13 on the next page, item 1 and 2).
Steering to the left must cause the rudder (viewed from behind in driving direction) to swivel to the left as well. If this
is not the case, you need to select the steering servo reverse function at the transmitter (see operating instructions of
the remote control). If the steering lever for the steering function at the transmitter as well as the trimming for it are in
the neutral position, the rudder must be placed centrally. Otherwise, the trimming at the transmitter must be adjusted
accordingly (see operating instructions of the remote control). Alternatively, or if transmitter trimming is no longer suffi-
cient, you need to readjust the linkage with the steering lever in the neutral position and neutral trimming by loosening
the screws at the rudder linkage lever (figure 3, item 4).
„Metal / metal" screw connections must be secured against unintended loosening either with so-called „stop
nuts" or with a drop of thread locker varnish.
Check the function of the sail winch. The control lever of the transmitter (figure 13, item 3 and 4) can be set to smoothly
adjust the angle of attack of the sails. If you move the lever forward (away from the body), the sail winch must turn
counter-clockwise (to the left). In this case, the control ropes of the mainsail and head sail are „extended" and the
possible angle of attack of the sails enlarged. If the rope is not running counter-clockwise in this test, you need to
operate the reverse function for the rope winch at your transmitter. For this, observe the operating instructions of the
remote control system.
If the steering lever of the transmitter is pulled backward (towards the body), the rope winch has to turn clockwise and
„shorten" the control ropes. This shortens the possible angle of attack of the sails.
