After initial flights adjust the control throws to best suit your flying style and ability.
Check before flight
1. Make sure that your transmitter is fully charged. Conduct a range test of your radio
system per the manufacturer’s specs.
2. Check all flying surfaces for correct direction of movement, correct amount of movement
and for correct centering, adjust as required.
3. Fully charge your flight batteries prior to flying.
4. Hand launch into the wind and land into the wind.
Flight Adjustment
1. On initial flight climb to about 75-100 feet and see if any trim is required. If the model
rolls to the right, apply some left aileron trim to level the wings. If the model dives, apply
some up elevator trim, ect.
2. Landing should be made into the wind, reduce the throttle to just above idle and keep
the nose level or a little high allowing the airplane to sink toward the ground. Apply a
little throttle as the model reaches an altitude of a foot or so, this will slow the descent
and aid in the flare to a smooth landing.
Have Fun
We hope that you have many pleasant
flights with your F-86
