Step 7
Mode Change Flight Control System
Your F-27 Stryker™ is equipped with Mode Change
Flight Control™ software that allows you to choose two
ways to fly. A switch on top of the transmitter allows
you to easily select the desired mode.
Mode A. In this mode, you will be limited in the amount
of travel of the control surfaces (elevons), allowing for
smooth and more manageable control. We recommend
that you begin flying in this mode until you become
more familiar with the F-27 Stryker. A label on the
transmitter will show the position of the switch
(pushed back away from pilot) when in Mode A.
Mode B. The travel of the elevons are no longer limited.
This mode is absolutely ideal for extreme aerial combat
with an optional Sonic Combat Module™ (HBZ4020),
pylon racing, inverted flight and other outrageous flying
maneuvers. However, your F-27 Stryker will also be
much easier to crash in Mode B as well. This mode is
recommended for advanced pilots only. The transmitter
label will show the position of the switch (all the way
toward pilot when holding transmitter) when in Mode B.
Note: It is possible to change the flight modes during
flight. This should be done at higher altitudes.
Step 8
Choose a Large, Open Grassy Field
• A large, open grass field is required to fly your
F-27 Stryker. The Stryker can achieve speeds of up to
50 mph, so it covers ground fast. The bigger the
field, the better.
• It is essential to have a minimum of 300 feet of
clear space in all directions from the pilot. If you
ignore this direction, you will have problems.
• Make certain that you do not fly near trees, buildings,
or other areas that can restrict your view or interfere
with your flying.
