STEP 9. Launch
12
On first flights, have your assistant (adult recommended)
launch the plane while you control the transmitter.
¤ Make sure your battery was charged
within a few hours of launching
¤ Instruct your assistant to gently toss the
plane held overhead,
into the wind
when
you
apply full throttle
. It should be
tossed straight ahead, with the wings
level.
¤ You need only to make short left-right
stick corrections as needed to keep the
wings level and flying straight into the
wind. Leave the throttle full. If the plane
does not climbing, pull back slowly on the
stick until you see it climb slowly, but don’t
overdo it.
SUCCESS TIP: If your plane requires that you
hold the stick constantly to one side, or back
more than a slight amount, recheck the tail test
given in Step 4. Use the slider trims to make
small in-flight adjustments so your plane will fly
straight with hands off the stick. See Step 12.
