DURA NIGHT TUNDRA, Instruction Manual

Page: 20 / 28

The Durafly Night Tundra is both an easy and versatile aircraft to fly and has no special
considerations when it comes to flying but do make sure you’ve followed the set-up guidelines and
recommendations in this manual thoroughly for the best flying experience.
Thanks to the powerful motor and prop combination you can be off the ground (or water) within just
a matter of meters, or half throttle will give you nice long rolling take-offs, however where’s the fun in
that! Once you have your model trimmed, the real fun starts with the zero roll-out, full flap take offs,
just be ready to hold in some down elevator! In the air the Night Tundra is super stable at any
speeds too, full throttle sport flying allows you to explore the full aerobatic potential of the Night
Tundra, where as at lower speeds and with an indulgent use of the flaps, the Night Tundra really
comes into its own with almost full STOL type flying characteristics, flying slow has never been so
much fun. On the ground too, with the very authentic bush style tires and functional sprung
undercarriage, the ground never looked so inviting. With the Night Tundra rolling across the ground
is just as exhilarating as rolling through the air.
Off water the only real consideration is getting of the surface of the water itself. This is greatly aided
by the use of half flaps on all take off runs as they will help lift the Night Tundra up off the surface of
the water. For towing, just remember to always keep the line tight and to stay below the model
being towed. In the snow or sand with skis, just be mindful that you have less prop clearance, but
maybe you’ll be having too much fun to notice!
