ElectraGlide Instruction Manual
PREFLIGHT CHECKS
If you are new to fl ying R/C aircraft, or even an experienced modeller, we recommend you have a fellow R/C modeller
help you with the fi rst fl ight.
Some items you will need to complete on your fi rst prefl ight are:
1. Aircraft assembled correctly and ready for fl ight.
2. All control throws are set per this manual.
3. Transmitter battery power is good.
4. Flight Battery is fully charged and secure.
5. All electronics are operating correctly, proper direction, and secure.
6. Wait for a calm or light wind day for fi rst fl ights.
7. If you are new to R/C fl ying, consider having an accomplished fl yer make the fi rst fl ight and trim the aircraft
FLYING
Ask another person to launch the ElectraGlide into the wind horizontally with the nose slightly up, but no more than
15 degrees. Smoothly advance the throttle. After a few feet apply a small amount of up elevator and the model will
begin to climb. Continue to climb out at a shallow angle until you reach an altitude of 75 to 100 feet and level off. Adjust
the fl ight surface trims until the model fl ies wings level without a tendency to climb or dive. When making a landing
approach a small amount of throttle should be maintained. Moving the throttle to the down position while fl ying will
prolong the fl ight as the model has a very good glide angle. When you need more height, move the throttle to the up
position. When you are ready to land, move the throttle to the down position and glide into the wind to land.
We hope that you enjoy your ElectraGlide as much as we do.
