 1. Turn on the transmitter and receiver of your model. Check the
movement of the rudder using the transmitter. When the stick is moved
right, the rudder should also move right. Reverse the direction of the servo
at the transmitter if necessary.
 2. Check the movement of the elevator with the radio system. Moving
the elevator stick toward the bottom of the transmitter makes the airplane
elevator move up.
 3. Check the movement of the ailerons with the radio system. Moving
the aileron stick right makes the right aileron move up and the left
aileron move down.
 4. Use a ruler to adjust the throw of the elevator, ailerons and rudder.
Adjust the position of the pushrod at the control horn to achieve the
following measurements when moving the sticks to their endpoints.
NOTE: Use caution with high rates on the elevator and ailerons. High rates
are only used for snap and spin aerobatic maneuvers. Middle rates are
suggested for takeoff and landings. Low rates are suggested for standard
flight maneuvers. If your radio only has the option for two rates, use the
middle and low rates.

E-tips
The Habu does not always require full flaps for landing. We recommend
using full flaps for landings in no wind or light headwind situations. Use
half flaps for landings in strong headwinds or crosswinds.
Measurements are taken at the inner or widest point on the control
surface.
These are general guidelines measured from our own flight tests. You can
experiment with higher rates to match your preferred style of flying.
E-tips
Travel Adjust and Sub-Trims are not listed and should be adjusted ac-
cording to each individual model and preference.
We highly recommend re-binding the radio system once all the control
throws are set. This will keep the servos from moving to their endpoints
until the transmitter and receiver connect.

PreFlIght

• Check Your Radio
• Before going to the field, be sure your batteries are fully charged
per the instructions included with your radio. Charge the transmitter
and motor battery for your airplane. Use the recommended charger
supplied with your particular radio system, following the instructions
provided with the radio. In most cases, the radio should be charged
the night before going out flying.
• Before each flying session, be sure to range check your radio. See your
radio manual for the recommended range and instructions for your radio
system. Each radio manufacturer specifies different procedures for their
radio systems. Next, run the motor. With the model securely anchored,
check the range again. The range test should not be significantly af-
fected. If it is, don't attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment checked
out by the manufacturer.
• Double-check that all controls (aileron, elevator, rudder and throttle)
move in the correct direction.
• Check the radio installation and make sure all the control surfaces are
moving correctly (i.e., the correct direction and with the recommended
throws).
• Check all the control horns, servo horns, and clevises to make sure they
are secure and in good condition.

FlyIng your Model

Now that you have finished your Habu 32 and it's ready to go, make one
final check of a few things first.
• Is the main battery fully charged? Is the transmitter fully charged?
• Are dual rates and travel adjustments set for the first flight?
Remember the Habu 32 is very responsive and it is highly recommended
that you take off with middle rates and then switch to low rates right after
takeoff. Has the center of gravity been verified? Has the timer been set?
We recommend that the timer be set for 3 minutes on the first flight. After
3 minutes of flight this will still give you a good safety margin for a few
landing approaches. The Habu 32 will consistently give you 4+ minutes
of high-speed flight. If you use power management 6+ minutes is easily
achieved.
If the answer to all of these questions is yes, then you are ready for that
first flight. Only fly the Habu 32 at a sanctioned flying field as it is not
