12. Check list before starting: 

 

 

1.  Check 

centre of gravity

  

2.  Check 

control surfaces

:  

Do control surfaces move in the correct direction? 
Check the greatest swings  

3.  Check 

reception

 

4.  Check 

control surfaces before each flight.

 

Do all control surfaces still move correctly?  
Is there enough power in the accumulator?  
Are the brakes retracted? 
You can save the retraction of the brakes in your start 
setting. By this, you can never start with extended 
brakes.  

5. 

Gentle launch

 from the fuselage. No DLG-launch at your 

first flight. If there are some wrong settings, everything 
will go too fast at the disc-launch to correct these 
failures by steering. 

 

 

13. Notes for the use 

 

To  avoid  heating  of  the  carbon  surface,  models  with  carbon 
wings should 

not

 lie 

in the sun

.  

 

During flight 

heating by the sun is no problem,

 

as the model is 

cooled  by  the  wind.  On  ground 

the  glider  should  be  kept 

inside protective bags 

or

 in the shade. 

 

After every 

ungentle landing

, you must 

check your model for 

possible damage

, such as: 

Is the radio board still glued thoroughly? 

Did the leading edge of the wing burst open? 

Did rudder or elevator get damaged? 

Even a small damage could lead to write-off at your next 
launch!
