ASSEMBLY OVERVIEW
A boat that makes contact with a buoy must sail away from the fleet, out of
the way of other boats, and do a 360-degree penalty turn(figure E). After
the penalty turn, the boat may resume racing. If the boat hits the buoy on
the wrong side of the buoy, it must re-round the buoy on the correct side
before doing the 360-degree penalty turn (figure E1).
8 TRANSMITTER
The transmitter is the device that enables you to control your RC Laser from
the shore. On the transmitter there are three controls: the stick on the right
is the rudder stick; the switch in the center is the power switch; and the stick
on the left is the sail stick.
To operate the transmitter, remove back panel and install eight “AA” size
batteries, extend the antenna and put power switch to the “on” position.
After turning the transmitter on, slide the power switch on the boat to the
“on” position. The power switch on the boat slides front to back for on and
off. Do not push down, damage may result. ALWAYS turn the transmitter
on before turning the boat on.
RUDDER CONTROL
After turning on the transmitter and the boat, move the rudder stick from
side to side. The rudder will move from side to side. The rudder should be
in the center position when the rudder stick is in the center position. If it is
not, use the rudder trim lever to center the rudder. To steer the boat toward
the right, move the rudder stick to the right; to steer
the boat toward the left, move the rudder stick to the left. boat to the “on”
position. The power switch on the boat slides front to back for on and off.
Do not push down, damage may result. ALWAYS turn the transmitter on
before turning the boat on.
