Trimming the Model in flight
If you find that your model does not fly
straight, it may be necessary to adjust
the trims for straight and level flight.
Trimming is best done when flying at 1/2
to 2/3 power.
Aileron Trim
If the model appears to turn slightly to
the right or left, it may be required to
adjust the aileron trim. If the model is
turning to the left, press the right aileron
trim until the model flies level. If it is
turning to the right, press the left aileron
trim. You should only use one or two
presses at a time so the model is not
over-trimmed and begins turning the
opposite direction.
Elevator Trim
If the model is climbing or diving in
flight, it may be necessary to adjust the
elevator trim. If the model is climbing,
you will need to press the down elevator
trim. If the model is diving, it will require
that you press the up elevator trim. As
with the aileron, only press the trim once
or twice until the model flies level to
avoid over-trimming.
NOTE: If you reach the end point of the
trim you will hear a continuous beep.

Flying Area
You can fly your model indoors in an area
the size of a small gymnasium, or outdoors
in a similar sized area or larger. Make sure to
choose an area that is clear of buildings, trees,
power lines or other obstacles that your aircraft
could collide with. Always fly your model away
from crowds or spectators to avoid personal
injury.
General Flying Precautions
Always make it a point to practice good flying
techniques. Choose an area large enough that you can
safely maneuver your model. Always fly your model in
winds of 3 MPH or less. Avoid flying into the sun.
