surfaces when the transmitter trims are centered. Be careful
to only make slight adjustments. Once you get the mechanical
trim close you can use the transmitter trim to fine tune the
rudder and elevator trim.
CHOOSING YOUR FLYING FIELD
The flying field you choose should be a large, open field with
grass. There should not be any vehicles, buildings, power
lines, trees, large rocks or anything else that your model can
crash into.
CHOOSING A DAY TO FLY
Light
Wind
Strong
Wind
Calm weather with either no wind or wind speed of 1– 5 mph
is suitable for flying.
PRE-FLIGHT CHECK
1.
Check for any bends or
damaged parts on the main
wing, fuselage or tail wing.
2.
Be sure the wing, propeller &
spinner are properly attached!
3.
Switch the transmitter ON,
connect the battery, and
advise any people nearby.
Make sure there is no one
near the propeller.
4.
In case the motor starts
rotating accidentally, have an
assistant hold the rear part of
the plane securely.
5.
Check to see if the plane
responds properly to control
signals. See page 6.
6.
Test the range of the radio
signal. Step back about 30 ft
[10 m] and check for any
unusual behavior.
About
30 ft
TAKEOFF
1.
Before takeoff, check again
to see if the plane responds
properly to control signals.
2. Apply 3/4 throttle while facing into the wind. Hold the plane
horizontally and launch straight and level with a gentle
pushing motion.
3.
After launching, use the rudder
to keep the wings level. Climb
to an altitude of about 50 feet
[15.24 m], begin circling the
plane. (If the battery is not
charged properly, the plane
will not ascend).
Use the elevator stick and throttle to adjust the climb and altitude.
Put the throttle stick to the lowest position when
crashing to avoid damage to the airplane and
radio equipment. Crash damage is not covered
under the warranty.
FLIGHT
Continue circling in an oval pattern until you’re accustomed
to flying. If the plane nose dips, add a slight amount of up
elevator control.
Release the
elevator stick.
Move the
control sticks
slowly.
