Throttle Adjustment
Full Throttle
Full Throttle
Approx. 50% Throttle
Reduced Throttle
1. Climb to an altitude of 100 feet or more with
full throttle.
2. To achieve a level "cruising" altitude, reduce
power by moving the throttle stick down to
approximately 50% of full-on.
3. To reduce altitude, reduce throttle.
4. To increase altitude, increase throttle.
WATCH OUT! If you're flying with the motor off
or at a low speed, allow the Aerobird Challenger
™
a bit more area for turns.

Sharp Turns
Move the stick in the direction you want to turn
and add some UP elevator at the same time, i.e.
pull the stick back. The plane will make a sharper
banking turn.
Rudder Trim
If the model always turns one direction, use the
trim control lever below the control stick to cor-
rect (see below). The model should fly straight
with the control stick at neutral. See page 24
if additional adjustments are needed.
Elevator Trim
If the model always goes up or down, use the
trim control lever to the side of the control
stick to correct (see below). The model should
fly straight with the control stick at neutral.
See page 25 if additional adjustments are
needed. The Aerobird Challenger
™
should have
a steady shallow climb at full throttle.
Note: With the throttle stick set at low or off
(gliding), the plane will not turn as fast as
when the throttle is set on high.
