POWERING UP THE BOAT

If you've bought the 'Ready To Race' version of the boat you will have the Joysway Transmitter and Receiver. The transmitter (Tx) and

Receiver (Rx) will already be 'bound' and full operating instructions for this radio set are supplied.

If you are using your own Tx/Rx equipment we will assume you will be familiar with all it's functions and the following guide covers the setup

of the boat only.

1 Connect up the Servo, Winch and Battery Switch cables up to the Receiver as follows:

- Rudder Servo plugs into Channel 1 socket.

- Sail Winch plugs into Channel 3 socket

- On/Off Switch plugs into Battery socket (check your own Tx manual for this connection)

2 Install four, AA batteries into the Battery Holder and secure into the tray with the silicone band provided. Plug the batteries into the spare

lead from the On/Off Switch.

3 With both Tx control sticks in their central positions switch on the boats On/Off Switch by pushing the wire switch arm forwards in the

cockpit as indicated by the sticker.

Note: At this stage check that the control sticks on your Transmitter operate in the correct direction. Looking forward from the back of the

boat when the rudder control stick is moved to the right, the Rudder should turn to the right. When the Sail Winch control stick is moved

down, the clip on the Winch Line should move to its furthest back position (sheeted in). If either of these actions is reversed, consult your

manual for instructions on how to reverse the stick actions.

4 With the rudder control stick and fine adjuster on the Transmitter set in their central position, check to see if the Rudder Blade is centred

in line with the Keel when viewed directly from behind. If not, use the Allen Key to adjust the top grub screw on the Rudder Arm.

5 Now set the sheeted in and out positions for the Winch Line. Diagram 5 shows the ideal positions for these sheeting points. Set the

sheeted in (close hauled) position first. Pull the sailwinch control stick on the Tx fully down with it's fine adjuster set in its central

position, if the end of the winch line clip is in a different position to that shown, unscrew the drum on top of the Sail Winch and rotate

until the clip position is correct and then re-tighten the drum. The ideal amount of winch line travel between fully sheeted in and out is

128mm. This travel will give you the ideal sheeted out position for running with the wind with the booms out.

Note: It's a good idea to mark these two positions on the deck as a permanent reference points for consistent sheeting adjustment. The

sheeting points shown are not too critical but what is important is the amount of travel between the two points of 128mm. On better quality

Transmitters you will be able to adjust the sheeting end points individually through its software menus.
