1. First, turn your transmitter power switch “ON.”
Install the motor battery in the Skysailer and switch it
on.
❏
2. Hold the Skysailer, by the undercarriage, above
your head. Hold the transmitter in the other hand
with your thumb on the throttle stick.
3. Move the throttle stick to full power, take a few
steps into the wind and release the Skysailer letting it
fly out of your hand. DO NOT THROW IT!
4. The Skysailer will leave your hand and climb away.
Allow the Skysailer to fly out straight at full throttle
until it reaches an altitude of 75’ to 100’. Then,
reduce the throttle to 75%. The Skysailer will stop
climbing and fly level.
5. Now try to turn left by moving the right stick to the
left a small amount and releasing it. Notice what the
Skysailer does. By holding the stick to the left a small
amount, the Skysailer will start to turn to the left. After
releasing the stick the Skysailer will continue to turn to
the left. To stop the turn, move the right stick to the right
until the Skysailer levels off.
6. In the turn the Skysailer will lose some altitude. You
will need to add some power in the turn to maintain
altitude. Try left and right turns, flying in a figure eight
until you are comfortable with the controls.
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. During your first flight, while at a high altitude,
point the Skysailer into the wind and reduce the
power. Notice how it descends. Apply power and try
it again.
2. To land the Skysailer, fly downwind, past the
landing area, a few hundred feet. Gently turn into the
wind and turn the motors off. The Skysailer will start
to come down. Apply power so that the Skysailer
descends gradually and lands gently.
3. The Skysailer uses an auto cut-off system to power
the motor, steering servo and receiver from the motor
battery. When the voltage of the motor battery drops
to a preset voltage, the auto cut-off system stops the
motor while providing enough power to the steering
servo and receiver to land.
If the motor stops during flight, don’t panic. Gently
turn the Skysailer into the wind and land.
Switch off the Skysailer and then the transmitter.
Unplug the battery from the Skysailer and remove it
from the undercarriage. Allow the motor battery to
cool before recharging. Check the Skysailer over to
make sure nothing has come loose.
