until the plane has turned. If you hold the right stick,
instead of releasing it, the plane will turn tightly and
lose altitude. When the Sky Trick is moving away from
you, moving the right stick to the left will make your
plane turn to the left. Moving the right stick to the right
will make the plane turn to the right.
10. When the plane is coming toward you, moving the
right stick left still causes the plane to turn left, but it
appears to turn to your right. In short, you have to
reverse the way you control the right stick. A good way
to familiarize yourself with the controls is when the
plane is coming toward you, turn your body so that you
are facing the same direction the plane is going, looking
over your shoulder at the plane. Now when you move
the right stick left the plane will go to your left.
11. Don’t let the airplane get too far away from you. The
farther away it is, the harder it is to see what the plane
is doing.
12. When learning to fly, it is best to keep the plane high
enough so that if you make a mistake, you have enough
altitude to correct the mistake.
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 Sky Trick will get approximately 5 to 7 minutes of
flight, at full throttle, on a fully charged battery before
the motors stop. For your first couple of flights we
recommend that you attempt to land before the motors
stop. 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 motors off and notice how the Sky Trick reacts. This
will give you an idea how the plane will react during
landing.
3. To land the Sky Trick, fly down wind, past the landing
area, a few hundred feet. Gently turn into the wind and
turn the motors off. The plane will start to come down.
If it appears that the Sky Trick will be short of the landing
area, turn the motors back on for a couple of seconds to
lengthen your approach.
4. As the Sky Trick slowly descends, use the right stick
to control the direction. The Sky Trick will just about
land itself. All you need to do is control its direction.
Unplug the battery from the plane and remove it from
the battery compartment. Then, switch the transmitter
off. Allow the motor battery to cool before recharging.
Check the plane over to make sure nothing has come loose.
REPAIRS
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 or white glue to the
broken area and hold together with clear packaging
tape. Let the glue cure, leaving the tape in place for
added strength.
