FLYING

 

In

 

common

 

with

 

all

 

model

 

aircraft,

 

and

 

short

 

nosed

 

biplanes

 

in

 

particular,

 

ensure

 

that

 

she

 

balances

 

just

 

SLIGHTLY

 

nose

 

down

 

when

 

supported

 

at

 

the

 

point

 

shown.

 

There

 

is

 

no

 

surer

 

way

 

of

 

destroying

 

your

 

model

 

than

 

to

 

attempt

 

to

 

fly

 

her

 

in

 

a

 

tail

heavy

 

state.

 

 

Open

 

the

 

throttle

 

gradually,

 

holding

 

in

 

some

 

up

 

elevator

 

until

 

she

 

is

 

moving,

 

and

 

allow

 

her

 

to

 

pick

 

up

 

speed.

 

Ease

 

off

 

the

 

elevator

 

as

 

her

 

speed

 

increases,

 

and

 

be

 

ready

 

to

 

correct

 

any

 

swing

 

with

 

rudder.

 

Once

 

she

 

has

 

attained

 

speed,

 

gradually

 

feed

 

in

 

some

 

more

 

up

 

elevator

 

until

 

she

 

lifts

 

off.

 

Allow

 

her

 

to

 

climb

 

away

 

steadily,

 

and

 

don’t

 

attempt

 

to

 

rush

 

things.

 

Once

 

you

 

have

 

made

 

some

 

height

 

and

 

trimmed

 

her

 

out,

 

she’s

 

all

 

yours

 

to

 

have

 

fun

 

with.

 

Loops,

 

stall

 

turns

 

and

 

even

 

a

 

not

 

very

 

crisp

 

roll

 

are

 

all

 

within

 

her

 

capabilities,

 

so

 

just

 

enjoy

 

her.

 

However,

 

at

 

all

 

times

 ‐ 

BEWARE

 

THE

 

HUN

 

IN

 

THE

 

SUN.
