●
Once The Rookie has climbed as high as you want it to, quickly repeatedly tap the Motor ON Button to slow the motor and stop climbing.
You can continue to make right and left turns now without climbing, by ‘tapping’ the right turn and left turn buttons.
●
Maintaining flight is a combination of holding down the Motor ON button while "tapping" the Right Turn and Left Turn buttons to "steer" The
Rookie. Level flight is accomplished by holding down the Motor ON button, then repeatedly tapping the Motor ON button to descend, then
by holding the Motor ON button down to climb again.
●
Maintaining controlled, level flight is a combination of using the "tapping" method for the Right Turn Button, Left Turn Button and the Motor
ON Button. After a little practice, you should be able to control The Rookie's direction and altitude without much effort.
●
�hen you're ready to land The Rookie, let go of the Motor ON Button and make shallow right or left turns so that The Rookie is gliding
towards your landing area. �ith the Motor ON Button released, The Rookie will gradually descend. The Rookie will almost land on its own,
so the only thing you need to do is make sure that it's flying into the wind when beginning your landing approach (if you’re flying outside).
Once The Rookie is near to the ground, release all of the buttons and The Rookie will land by itself.

REPAIRING THE ROOKIE
If The Rookie breaks following a crash, and the damage isn't too bad, it can be repaired. Glue the broken parts together using a thin layer of
5 minute epoxy or white glue, following the directions on the glue bottle. Hold the parts together and in alignment until the glue fully cures.
Apply a strip of clear tape over the seams to strengthen the joint even more.
do not use Super Glue or C/A glues. They will melt the
foam. IF THE dAMAGE IS TOO GREAT TO REPAIR, REPLACEMENT PARTS ARE AvAILABLE.
●
�hile The Rookie is climbing, you may want to turn right or left. To turn The Rookie right while climbing,
continue to hold the Motor ON Button down while ‘tapping’ the Right Turn Button with your other thumb.
After The Rookie has turned in the direction you want, simply ‘tap’ the Left Turn button to level The
Rookie.
IMPORTANT don't hold the Right Turn Button down to turn. Turning is accomplished by ‘tapping’
the turn button. Holding the turn button down will only make it difficult to fly and possibly end
up in a crash. Simply tap the Right Turn Button to make a gentle, shallow right turn.
●
To turn The Rookie left while climbing, continue to hold the Motor ON Button down while ‘tapping’ the
Left Turn Button with your other thumb. After The Rookie has turned in the direction you want, tap the
Right Turn button to level The Rookie.
IMPORTANT don't hold the Left Turn Button down to turn. Turning is accomplished by ‘tapping’
the turn button. Holding the turn button down will only make it difficult to fly and possibly end
up in a crash. Simply tap the Left Turn button to make a gentle, shallow left turn.
