18.5.8 Landing
>
To land the »Xtreme again, decrease the
THROTTLE
slightly until the »Xtreme
gravitates to the ground. A somewhat solid touchdown on the ground is no problem and
should not be corrected with jerky throttle movements.
>
Try to touch down where possible in vertical position (“helicopter landing”). Avoid
landing with high horizontal speeds (“airplane landing”) to prevent the legs from getting
entangled, which may result in a tumble.
>
After landing, turn off the motors.
18.5.9 Trimming
>
TRIMMING
allows you to equalize drifting of the »Xtreme. Drifting refers to movement
out of position when in hover flight without applying aileron or elevator.
>
Carefully correct gentle drifting with the
TRIM BUTTONS
for rudder, elevator and
aileron. Once the »Xtreme is high enough in the sky, decrease the throttle until the
»Xtreme hovers.
>
To equalize drift refer to chapter “16. Transmitter” on page 22. To equalize drift when
using your own transmitter, refer to its operating instructions.
18.5.10 Gradual learning
>
Practice taking off and landing a few times to get a feel for the »Xtreme.
>
Once you are reasonably sure, you can begin to steer the flight direction with rudder,
elevator and aileron. Always steer slowly and carefully and practice the processes
before trying new flight manoeuvres.
>
When you have familiarised yourself with the »Xtreme’s flight properties, you may
perform additional exercises.
»
Start with simple flight manoeuvres like flying a meter forwards/back (nod
function), then
»
Practice hovering to the left/right (aileron function). When you have the practice
you need, start flying circles and figure eights.
Be careful when applying RUDDER, which will rotate the
»Xtreme around its vertical centre axis, causing you to
become disoriented. Study carefully how AILERON and
ELEVATOR behave after applying RUDDER.
18.5.11 Turning off
1. Land the »Xtreme and turn the engines off.
2.
Disconnect the battery and remove the battery from the battery tray.
3. Press the
ON/OFF
button to turn the transmitter off.
One beep sound
is emitted.
18.6 Acrobatic mode
Acrobatic mode is only activated in Sport mode.
While in Sport mode the »Xtreme will assist you in
completing acrobactic manoeuvres.
18.6.1 Activate acrobatic flight mode
Make sure you have enough space for flipping. An open
area of minimum 15 x 15 m is recommended.
Ensure you have sufficient open space for practicing and
developing your skills!
You, the pilot are responsible for inspecting your unit and
ensuring perfect condition and flight readiness before you
attempt any kind of flight, regardless of whether you intend
to perform acrobatic flight manoeuvres or casual flight.
