The RTF Gamma 370 V2 CG is set just by installing the supplied 1000mAh battery. If you are
using a different battery or other components check to see that you have maintained the correct
CG. Measured from the leading edge of the wing the CG is 65mm +/- 5mm.

FLYING
We recommend flying your Gamma 370 V2 in a large enough space for relaxed flying. The area re-
quired should be about the size of a ball field and be free of obstructions. We suggest that initial flights
be carried out when the wind conditions are light. Once you are familiar with the Gamma 370 V2 you
will easily be able to fly in less favorable conditions.
We recommend that an experienced pilot stands with you for the first flights.
To take off, place the airplane on a smooth surface with the nose of the airplane into the wind and
smoothly advance the throttle. Ease back on the elevator stick and the Gamma 370 V2 will smoothly
climb out. Use the right stick (rudder control) to initiate a turn and continue to climb to a comfortable
altitude. Once airborne you can reduce the throttle to 1/2 to 2/3 for a good cruising speed. The first
steps are to gain some confidence in controling the flight of the airplane. Do this by turning the airplane
to keep it within easy visual range.
Landing can be intimidating for novice pilots. Land the plane with the nose of the airplane facing into
the wind. With the nose into the wind start reducing the power to descend, increase or decrease the
power to land the airplane in the location that you desire.
We hope that you enjoy learning to fly the Gamma 370 V2 and have many enjoyable flights.
