Choose a Large, Open Grassy Field
• A large, open grass field is required. The
Aerobird Challenger
™
flies approximately
20 mph, so it covers ground fast. The bigger
the field, the better!
• It is absolutely essential to have a minimum of
300 feet of clear space in all directions from
the pilot. If you ignore this direction, you will
regret it.
IMPORTANT: Do not fly over or near people,
buildings, power lines, highways, train tracks,
vehicles, trees, water, pavement, gravel, any hard
surface or any object you don't want to crash into.
Please take this warning seriously to keep people,
property and your Aerobird Challenger safe.
Crash damage is not covered by the warranty.
Making adjustments—Leveling the Tail Control Flaps
Before making your first flight, if tail control flaps
are not level with rest of tail surface, adjust them
so they are level by doing the following:
1. Be sure the throttle slider is in the Off position.
2. Turn the transmitter on, plug in the aircraft
battery and center the right control stick and
trim levers.
3. Use your fingers or a small flat screwdriver to
turn the slotted spool on the control horn.
Depending on the direction you turn, this will
lengthen or shorten the control line.
4. While applying some tension to the control
lines, adjust until the control surfaces are level
with the rest of the surface.
