with its nose pointing slightly down. If the model glides straight down
to the earth a few paces in front of you, bend the elevator slightly up.
On the other hand, if the model climbs up and then stalls, you will need
to bend the elevator slightly down. If your model turns left, bend the
rudder slightly right and vice versa. Repeat the test until you achieve
a smooth long glide.
Once trimmed out you can try your first hi-start with your Der Mini FALKE
using 15 m towline (a fishing line) or a bungee (3-5 m of 3x2 mm rubber
thread and 5-10 m of thin fishing line). Tie a key ring to one end (bowline
knot is the best) and a flag (a piece of red cloth) 20-30 cm from the end.
The flag makes the towline visible in the air as well as on the ground. Find
a suitable spool to keep the towline on.
Have a ball, enjoy your Der Mini FALKE!
