	* The “Low Rate” recommended control surface throws are suitable for a less skilled pilot and regular soaring; the “High Rate” setting allows an experienced pilot to explore the full capabilities of his model. The aileron differential (aileron down deflection reduced to 70 % of up deflection) is only possible with a computer radio.		* The “Low Rate” recommended control surface throws are suitable for a less skilled pilot and regular soaring; the “High Rate” setting allows an experienced pilot to explore the full capabilities of his model.

	* Check the rotation direction of the propeller.

If incorrect, swap two of the three wires between the ESC and motor or program the ESC (refer to the [[KAVAN Plus ESCs - Instruction manual \| Plus ESCs - Instruction manual]]).
	* Check the correct position of the centre of gravity (CG) – 72–75 mm behind the leading edge of the wing ('''Fig. 10'''). Adjust the CG position by moving the flight pack - if you cannot reach the recommended position, do not hesitate to add an appropriate amount of lead to the nose or tail. An extra couple of grams won’t spoil the flying characteristics, but the incorrect CG position is a killer. Note: Once familiar with the controls of their Twisty, skilled 3D pilots may move the CG back to 75–78 mm.		* Check the correct position of the '''centre of gravity (CG) – 72–75 mm''' behind the leading edge of the wing ('''Fig. 10''').

	* Fully charge your flight pack and transmitter batteries, check the proper function of your radio and perform the range check of your radio according to its instruction manual. The range has to be almost the same with the motor off and at full throttle (no more than a 10% decrease is acceptable). DO NOT try to fly unless the range check is 100% successful.		* Fully charge your flight pack and transmitter batteries, check the proper function of your radio and perform the range check of your radio according to its instruction manual.

 # The flight pack is to be placed in the bay in the centre of the cockpit; use a hook-and-loop tie to fasten it. You can place your receiver (secured with a strip of hook-and-loop or double-sided foam tape) behind the flight pack; the ESC is to be secured by the same along the flight pack. Connect servos and your ESC to the receiver; deploy the antennas so their active parts are perpendicular to each other (if you are using a receiver featuring the diversity antennas). With your radio on, set the servos to the neutral position (sticks and trims centred) and fasten the setting screws of the pushrod connectors on the elevator and rudder servo arms. Perform the throttle range calibration of the ESC as described in the attachment of this manual. ('''Fig. 4+8''')
