It’s a known fact among fellow R/C pilots that your airplane will
land. It is up to you as to where and how it lands.
1. The Park Pilot will get approximately 8 to 10 minutes of flight,
at full throttle, on a fully charged battery before the BEC stops the
motor. For your first couple of flights we recommend that you
attempt to land before the motor stops. This will allow enough
power to abort the landing and try again if you miss your
landing area.
2. During your first flight, while at a high altitude, turn the motor
off and notice how the Park Pilot reacts. This will give you an idea
how the plane will react during a landing.
3. To land the Park Pilot, fly down wind, past the landing area, a
few hundred feet. Gently turn into the wind and reduce the
throttle so that the plane starts to come down. Adjust the throttle
as needed to reach the landing area, but not fly past it.
4. Just before landing, at about 1 foot above the ground, apply a
little up elevator to flare (raise the nose of the plane). This will
cause the plane to slow and settle to the ground.
Caution:
If the propeller on the Park Pilot should become
jammed and cannot rotate with the throttle in the run position,
the battery and speed control will become very hot. Immediately
move the throttle lever to the left to stop the motor. If you fail to
do this, the motor, speed control and/or battery will be damaged.
Switch the airplane, then the transmitter off. Unplug and remove
the motor battery. Allow the motor battery to cool before
recharging. Check the plane over to make sure nothing has
come loose.
Even the best R/C pilots in the world damage their planes every
now and then. In the unfortunate event that you damage your
airplane, repairs are fairly simple to make yourself. If there are
any cracks in the wing or fuselage, apply 6-minute epoxy to the
broken area and hold together with clear packaging tape. Let the
glue cure, leaving the tape in place for added strength.
