FLYING
Let
the
model
gain
altitude
slowly
off
the
runway.
Applying
too
much
up
elevator
at
slow
speeds
risks
a
stall.
Make
your
turns
gently
as
tight
turns
risk
tip
stalling
in
any
model.
Don’t
expect
the
elevator
to
make
the
model
climb.
Think
of
the
elevator
as
a
device
to
change
the
attitude
of
the
model.
The
wing
and
airspeed
ultimately
make
the
model
climb.
Often
down
elevator
applied
at
stalling
can
avoid
a
major
crash.
The
most
important
details
for
proper
flight
operations
are:
1)
CG
location.
Tail
‐
heavy
models
never
fly
well
or
at
all.
2)
Down
and
right
thrust
3)
Straight
and
non
‐
warped
wings.
Here
are
some
excerpts
of
Brian’s
maiden
flight
report.
“We
got
to
the
field
and
while
the
Pfalz
was
charging
we
flew
other
planes
and
had
a
great
time.
I
set
her
on
the
runway
and
powered
her
up.
She
was
off
the
ground
is
less
than
25
ft
with
minimal
rudder
and
climbed
out
nicely.
I
flew
her
for
about
7
minutes
with
several
landings
and
takeoffs
for
trim
adjustments
etc.
had
three
takeoffs
and
landings.
She
looks
absolutely
stunning
in
the
air.
I
had
to
turn
the
elevator
rates
up
as
I
ran
out
of
elevator
on
a
couple
of
the
landings,
when
turned
up
the
landings
were
fine.
