Preflight
If you are new to flying R/C aircraft, or a seasoned modeler, we recommend you have a fellow R/C
modeler help you with the first flight. Some items you will need to complete on your first preflight are:
1. Aircraft assembled correctly and ready for flight.
2. All control throws and expos are set per this manual.
3. Transmitter fully charged and on correct model.
4. Aircraft balances at the recommended location.
5. Flight Battery is fully charged and secure.
6. All electronics are operating correctly, proper direction, and secure.
7. Complete a radio Range Check per your radio manual.
8. Balance propeller and make sure it is secure.
9. Wait for a calm or light wind day for first flights.
Flying
You will soon find out the
Pilot-1
Cabin WACO YKS-6 is a real pleasure to fly. Takeoffs, landings, and
scale aerobatics are easy and well behaved. Even if you have never flown a tailwheel airplane before, the
Pilot-1
Cabin WACO YKS-6 should be an easy transition. Landings are best accomplished by “three-
pointing.” This means that all three wheels should touch at the same time and a little up-elevator is held
until the aircraft comes to a complete stop. Except for takeoff and climb, you will only use about 1/2
throttle to maintain a scale flying speed. You can expect flight times of 8+ minutes depending on battery
used and throttle management.
We hope you enjoy your
Pilot-1
Cabin WACO YKS-6 as much as we do!
Happy Landings!
