1. It is important to adjust, or “trim,” your electric free flight Mini Regent correctly.
2. Before launching the Mini Regent, grasp the airplane fuselage under the wing, and with the motor off, gently toss the Mini Regent into the
wind. It should glide straight ahead and settle gently to the ground. See the diagram below.
A = If the plane dives, bend the elevons upward slightly.
B = If the plane stalls, bend the elevons down slightly.
C = Correct flight path.
D = To turn left, bend the left elevon up slightly and the
right elevon down slightly.
E = To turn right, bend the right elevon up slightly and
the left elevon down slightly.
3. Repeat step 2 until your airplane glides well.

SAFETY RULES
ALWAYS LAUNCH THE AIRPLANE AWAY
FROM PEOPLE AND OBSTACLES
NEVER POINT THE AIRPLANE AT
ANYONE OR ANYTHING
ALWAYS LAUNCH SKYWARD
DO NOT LAUNCH INDOORS
1. Choose an open field, free of trees,
power lines and other obstacles. Hold the
Mini Regent in your hand, over your head,
and switch on the motor with your other
hand. Toss the Mini Regent into the wind,
keeping the wing level.
2. The Mini Regent should climb gently
and turn gradually. If it stalls and crashes,
adjust the elevons. If it does not turn,
adjust the elevons. Refer to “TRIMMING
YOUR ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT MINI
REGENT” for details.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHEN YOU ARE FLYING YOUR
ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT MINI REGENT
The most important thing that determines
how well your Mini Regent flies is how
well you have it trimmed.
Because it can fly high and far, you must
be in a large area away from houses,
streets, trees and overhead wires.
Closely inspect your airplane after every
flight. Make sure the wing and fins are not
broken and that the fuselage is securely
attached to the wing.
Make sure the fins are not cracked or
broken. See the repair section for details.
Always throw the electric free-flight Mini
Regent into the wind. Do not fly the
airplane if it is too windy.
Never charge your plane for more than 60
seconds. If you do, you may overheat the
batteries in the Mini Regent or your
charger and damage them.
REPAIR: If the fuselage, wing or fin is
cracked or damaged, apply white glue
and cellophane tape and let dry
overnight.
WARNING: Do not use super glue. It will
damage the foam. Always use white glue
and cellophane tape to repair the electric
free-flight Mini Regent.
