15. Operating the remote control

The best remote control is of little use if the inserted rechargeable batteries are not charged. Before using it, you
should always charge the rechargeable batteries of the remote control and the receiver according to the instructions of
the manufacturer. It is important not to just quickly recharge the batteries. Use chargers with a discharge function so
that you always know the exact battery state.
Before switching on your model on the airfield, check the settings of the remote control. Especially make sure that you
have selected the settings for your model and that all trim levers are in centre position. Also check the position of the
switches and controls.
Then switch on the receiver on the model and check all the control functions on the model. Carry out a range check
with the motor running. Retract the transmitter aerial completely and step back from the model after securing it. All
functions must be perfectly controllable up to a distance of 30-40 m.
Pull out the aerial of the remote control to its full length and start your model. If your model does not fly straight, you can
trim the rudders in flight. As you should always be looking at your model when flying it, changing the trim is accompanied
by an audio signal. Every time the trim lever is moved, the remote control plays an audio signal. The pitch depends on
the trimming direction. Centre position is indicated by the sequence of several tones.
After landing, always switch off the receiver first. Then switch off the remote control.
Caution!
Never switch off the remote control as long as the model is in operation. Radio interferences can cause
the model to show sudden uncontrolled servo movements or electric motors might suddenly run at full
throttle.
Readjust the linkage rods of your model so that the trim settings on the display are back in centre position while the
model flies straight. If there are only slight deviations, the sub-trim can be re-adjusted.
