Set the linkage so that it is in the middle hole at the elevon servo horns.

Set the other end so it is all the way OUT on the control surface horns.

This gives is decent deflection at max.

Note I use a computer controlled radio with two rates, if you use the provided radio you may want to move the linkage at the control surface horn in one hole.

Turn on the TX and hook up the plane.

Center the TX trims and the right stick.

With the plane ON adjust both elevons so that the top of the trailing edge of the control surface rises about 1/8" to 1/4" ABOVE the corresponding trailing edge of the wing.

Both elevons will be deflected UP by this amount at stick neutral.

This is how the plane will fly LEVEL at 75-85% power.

Make sure that both control surfaces are deflected up by exactly the same amount.

Also check to see that your wings look level and at right angles to the rudder.

That's it.

It's a pretty sweet flyer.

At takeoff, let the plane build up forward speed. It needs about 100' to take off in.

After 50' or so pull back SLIGHTLY on the right stick ( elevator ) and let the plane lift itself from the ground.

For landings, come in a bit faster than you may with a regular prop plane. Keep the plane under power.

Get it low and decrease the throttle while slightly pulling back.

The plane will settle into a slightly nose high attitude and settle on the rear wheels in a very Jet Like manner.

If you have a 4-8 MPH headwind, you can practically land it in a stall... I have accidentally!
