Making Adjustments to the Climb Rate
A. If the Aerobird Xtreme™ does not climb fast
enough with a fully charged battery at full throttle,
do the following:
1. Tighten the front tail screw in one full turn
and loosen the rear tail screw one full turn.
2. Test fly.
3. Repeat the above procedure if necessary until
the Aerobird Xtreme climbs adequately
under full power.
B. If the Aerobird Xtreme climbs too fast with full
throttle by climbing at a steep angle, stalling and
keeps repeating climbing sharply and stalling, do
the following:
1. Loosen the front tail screw one full turn and
tighten the rear screw one full turn.
2. Test fly.
3. Repeat the above procedure if necessary until
your Aerobird Xtreme climbs at a steady rate.

Note: Only use this option if you do not have enough travel with
the trim lever to the left of the control stick or if you would like
to fine-tune the flight characteristics with the trim levers and
controls in the neutral position.
Multi Mode Flight Control System
The Aerobird Xtreme™ includes two ways to
fly. The mode is selected by the way you
“boot up” the system each time you plug in a
flight battery.
Sport Mode
Sport Mode is the default mode. It offer HobbyZone’s
Flight-Trak
™
system with the addition of pitch control. In
this mode, steering input only raises one of the control
surfaces. This movement is similar to a mix of steering
plus UP elevator.
Sport Mode also increases the control throw when the
throttle is reduced for more positive control when gliding.
These features make flying the plane smoother and easier
for less experienced pilots, or those seeking a more relax-
ing flight. All pilots should master Sport Mode before
going into Pro Mode.
Entering Sport Mode
1. Move the throttle slider down to the off position.
2. Turn on the transmitter and leave the stick
centered.
3. Plug the battery into the plane. You are now in
Sport Mode.
