Charge both the transmitter and receiver pack for your

airplane. If you are flying an electric version, make sure

to charge the motor battery as well. 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.

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. Replace

any items that would be considered questionable. Failure

of any of these components in flight would mean the loss

of your aircraft.

Glow Powered:

Test run the engine and make sure it transitions smoothly

from idle to full throttle and back. Also ensure the engine

is tuned according to the manufacturer’s instructions,

and it will run consistently and constantly at full throttle

when adjusted.

Electric Powered:

Make sure the motor battery has been fully charged and

is secure inside the fuselage. Operate the motor and make

sure it operates smoothly from low throttle to full throttle

and back.

Recommended Center of Gravity (CG)

An important part of preparing the aircraft for flight is

properly balancing the model. This is especially important

when various engines are mounted.

Caution: Do not inadvertently

skip this step!

The recommended Center of Gravity (CG) location for

the Pulse XT is 2

" (70mm) behind the leading edge

of the wing against the fuselage. Make sure the aircraft

is inverted when measuring the CG. If necessary, move

the battery pack or add weight to either the nose or the

tail until the correct balance is achieved. Stick-on

weights are available at your local hobby store and

work well for this purpose.

Note: The range for the center of gravity

is 2

" (63mm) to 3" (76mm).

Pre-Flight

Range Test Your Radio

Range check your radio system before each flying

session. This is accomplished by turning on your

transmitter with the antenna collapsed. Turn on the

radio in your airplane. With your airplane on the ground,

you should be able to walk 30 paces away from your

airplane and still have complete control of all functions.

If not, don’t attempt to fly! Have your radio equipment

checked out by the manufacturer.
