TEST FLIGHTS: TRIMMING FOR STRAIGHT AND LEVEL FLIGHT
1. Locate a flat, open, grassy field for initial test
flights. Choose a nice day with a light breeze.
2. Turn on transmitter, then glider. Check controls
and flight surfaces for proper operation. If you
are unsure, start with "Low Rate" elevon
deflections listed on page 13.
3. While grasping nose of glider in front of wing
using your thumb and middle finger, slide index
finger rearward into launching hole.
4. As shown, use simple, overhand javelin-style
launches until you achieve proper trim.
5. ALWAYS launch and land your glider into wind
to minimize ground speed. Throw the Weasel-
TREK firmly but not excessively, like a javelin,
without twisting your wrist. Make sure to point
nose towards horizon (not up or down). Make trim
adjustments via trim levers on your transmitter
until glider flies straight and level.
6. Once you have achieved a straight and level
glide, you are ready for a go out on the slope.
Fine tuning of your model for optimum flight will
be explained in the following section.
