CENTERING YOUR SERVOS TO BATTERY PACK CHANNEL 1 STEERING SERVO ELECTRONIC SPEED CONTROL CHANNEL-1 ANTENNA RECEIVER ON/OFF SWITCH TO MOTOR CHANNEL-2 BATTERY WIRE COLORS BLACK RED WHITE 4-CELL BATTERY HOLDER PART# 3170 ON/OFF SWITCH BLACK NEGATIVE RED POSITIVETO MOTOR VISUAL INSPECTION Whenever your radio system has been removed for service or cleaning, the steering servo must be re-centered prior to installing the radio system in the model. If the radio system is already installed in the boat, disconnect the servo horn from the servo. Connect the steering servo to channel 1 on your receiver and the electronic speed control (or throttle servo for mechanical speed controls) to channel 2. The white wire on the servo cable is positioned towards the crystal. Connect the battery cable from the 4-cell receiver pack to the “batt” terminal on the receiver. Place fresh “AA” batteries in the transmitter and turn the power switch on. Slide the throttle and steering trim adjustments to the center position. Connect a fresh 7.2V battery pack to the electronic speed control and turn the power switch to the on position. The servo(s) will automatically jump to its center position. Turn off the power switch in the boat followed by the transmitter. The servo is now ready to be installed. Be careful not to move the servo shaft when installing the linkages. Readjust the electronic speed control (model 1508) as described in the previous section. Form the habit of visually inspecting the mechanical integrity of the Villain IV before each run. 1) Normally, some water will accumulate inside the boat. Empty any standing water out of the boat between runs. Pour any water out the side or front of the boat. Do not drain the water out of the back of the boat (near the radio system). 2) Check the wiring for any frayed wires or loose connections. 3) Check the tightness of the grub screws in the collars on the steering linkages, in the propellers, and in the universal joint yokes (connecting the outdrives to the driveshafts). Thread- locking compound can be applied to these screws to prevent them from loosening. 4) Check the mounting of the receiver and servos. 5) Check the driveshaft seals for damage. Do not attempt to run the Villain IV if these seals are damaged in any way. 6) Check the tightness of the propellers. Visually inspect the props for nicks, dings, and warpage. Replace if any damage is noticed. 7) Check the operation of the radio system, especially the condition of the batteries. 8) Visually inspect the hull for any cracks, damage, or possible leaks. DRIVING THE VILLAIN IV • Select a body of water which is clear of moss and grass. Do not drive the Villain IV in extremely rough, choppy water or in high wind (more than 15 MPH). These conditions could cause your Villain IV to flip over. The water should be at least 10 inches deep. • The Villain IV’s steering is very sensitive. A slight input on the steering control will have a large effect on the boat. When the boat is out in open water, adjust the steering trim on the transmitter until the boat travels in a straight line on its own. (Note: The Villain IV will only travel in a straight line on its own when it is heading straight into or away from the wind. Crosswinds will require constant steering input to maintain a straight course.) • To prevent spin outs, avoid steering sharply at high speed. • Always be ready to reduce the throttle if the Villain IV appears to be unstable or “chine walking” (rocking violently from side-toside). Always reduce the throttle when turning, especially in rough water. Jumping the Villain IV or towing anything with it should not be attempted. • Return the Villain IV to shore at the first sign of weak batteries. The Villain IV will begin to slow and the controls will become sluggish. • CAVITATION: If the Villain IV is running at full throttle but is only barely moving forward then the propeller is cavitating. Try advancing the throttle slowly to get the Villain IV on plane. If you are having trouble with cavitation, check the propellers for nicks or tangled debris.The Villain IV’s propellers are specially designed for their application and are very sensitive to any changes or modifications. If a prop is damaged it should be replaced. ADJUSTMENTS • ADJUSTING THE TRIM ANGLE The outdrive strut on the Villain IV will allow you to adjust the trim angle of the propeller. The trim angle changes how high the bow of the boat rides out of the water. Setting the trim angle correctly will provide the maximum speed and efficiency from the Villain IV. As the outdrive is trimmed up, the bow (front) of the boat will ride higher. The Villain IV will run slightly faster however, it will be more unstable in the wind. Do not trim the outdrive up on windy days or when running in choppy water. If the trim is set to high, then the bow will bounce up and down (“porpoise”), and the prop may begin to cavitate.
