1Fine tune Elevator and Rudder with sub-trim tab.
2Fine tune Ailerons with sub-trim tab.
Move Elevator Sub-trim tab up or down to bring elevator in a straight line with horizontal stabilizer.
Move Aileron Sub-trim tab to bring Ailerons in a straight line with Wings.
Move Rudder Sub-trim tab left or right to bring rudder in a straight line with vertical stabilizer.
Try to get an experienced flyer to check through your installation before flying. Ask him/her to do
the first flight for you. He/she can trim out the control surfaces for you so the model can fly straight
and level with control sticks in neutral positions and throttle stick about half throttle. You will get a
much higher successful rate with the help from an experienced flyer.
Before you fly, try to fine fune the control surfaces with Sub-trim tab.

Important Safety Precautions
# First time flyer should never fly by himself / herself. Assistance from experienced flyer
is absolutely necessary.
# Pre-flight adjustment must be done before flying, it is very dangerous to fly a badly
pre-adjusted aircraft.
# is specially designed to be powered by KM28251025 Outrunner Motor.
# Make sure the air field is spacious, never fly the plane too close to people and never get
too close to a running propeller. Extreme caution should be exercised when working with
electric powered models. Make sure the propeller is cleared of all objects, especially your
hands before connecting the battery to the model. Make sure you understand the
operation of the ESC (Electronic Speed Control) by studying the ESC manual. Once you
plug in the battery for electric powered model, always treat the propeller as a rotating one,
as accidental movement of the throttle stick will spin the propeller and could cause injuries.
# Check and re-tighten up all factory assembled screws, use thread locker if necessary.
