The RTF Gamma Pro 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 Pro V2 in a large enough space for relaxed flying. The area
required 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 Pro V2
you will easily be able to fly in less favorable conditions.
We recommend that your first flight be with the NFP (Natural Flight Progression) switch in the off
postition. From a smooth surface with the nose of the airplane into the wind, smoothly advance the
throttle.
Ease back on the elevator stick and the Gamma Pro V2 will smoothly climb out. Use the aileron stick to
initiate a turn and continue to climb to a comfortable altitude. Once airborne you can reduce the throttle
to 1/2 for a good cruising speed. The first steps are to gain some confidence in controling the flight of
the airplane without having the NFP active. Smooth stick movement will yield the best results. With the
plane flying at an altitude of 100-150 feet it is time to check the NFP trim, switch the NFP mode switch
from off to intermediate and observe the reaction of the airplane. If trimmed properly there should be
only a minor change in flight attitude. If the airplane begins to climb or dive more than a few degrees,
switch off the NFP and return to land and adjust the NFP trim as described on page 11. When properly
trimmed the NFP modes will help you to easily fly the airplane and return it to straight and level flight by
just releasing the sticks.
