Flying
Turning
Gently move the stick in the direction you want the model
to turn. Avoid holding full right or full left for more than
two seconds as this can cause the plane to spiral dive
and crash.
Sharp Turns
Move the stick in the direction you want to turn and
pull the stick back at the same time. The plane will
make a sharper banking turn. This is an advanced
maneuver and shouldn’t be attempted until you’ve
mastered the use of pitch.
Once you’ve reached a safe altitude, make right and
left adjustments of the control stick to keep it flying
straight into the wind. Never attempt a turn until the
Aerobird Xtreme reaches at least 50 feet of altitude.
Control range is 2500 feet. Don’t let the plane fly too
far away. Keep it upwind from you or the wind may
carry it away from you and out of sight and/or control
range.

Rudder Trim
If the Aerobird Xtreme™ seems to drift in one direc-
tion when the control stick is in the neutral (centered)
position, gradually move the trim control lever below
the control stick in the OPPOSITE direction of the drift
until the plane flies straight with the control stick at
neutral. See page 23 if additional adjustments are
needed.
Elevator Trim
The Aerobird Xtreme should have a steady, shal-
low climb at full throttle with the control stick in
the neutral (centered) position. If, however, the
Aerobird Xtreme seems to drift up or down when
attempting straight and level flight at reduced
throttle settings, gradually move the trim control
lever on the left side of the control stick in the
SAME direction of the drift until the plane flies
level with the control stick at neutral. See page 23
if additional adjustments are needed.
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.
