Landing
When you notice that the Aerobird 3
™
no
longer climbs well under full power (normal-
ly after approximately 10 to 15 minutes), the
battery is getting low, and it's time to land.
Line the model up, heading directly into the
wind toward the desired landing spot. At 10
feet of altitude, gradually reduce the throttle
stick to turn off the motor. The Aerobird 3
will glide in for a landing.
Auto Cut-Off Feature:
When the flight
battery gets low enough, this feature will
automatically shut off the motor and save
enough battery power for the radio and tail
control so you can land safely. If the motor
cuts off, prepare to land imediately. If you
are gliding down and have some time to
rest the battery, you may re-arm the motor
by moving the throttle slider back to Off.
This may give you a little extra bit of power
to adjust your landing. Do not re-arm more
than once or twice, or you may lose your
control power.
Warning:
Do not attempt to catch the
airplane or injury may result. Also, be sure
to turn motor off before you touch down
or damage can occur to your wing and
propeller. Remember to always land directly
into the wind.
Expert Tip:
As you get more experienced
at flying, try adding a bit of UP elevator (pull
stick back) just before touchdown to ”flare”
the plane. With some practice, your land-
ings will be expertly smooth and on target.
Reduce power at 10–20 feet
