INSTRUCTIONS FOR SAFE FLYING
GENERAL FLYING TIPS:
• Always place the model on a level surface.
An inclined surface can, under certain
circumstances, have a negative impact on
the starting behaviour of the model.
• Always operate the controls slowly and
with a gentle touch.
• Always maintain visual contact with the
model and do not look at the transmitter!
• Move the thrust control down again
somewhat as soon as the model lifts off
from the ground. Maintain flying altitude
by adjusting the thrust controller.
• If the model lowers, move the thrust
control slightly upward again.
• If the model climbs, move the thrust
control down slightly.
• To fly along a curve, tapping the
directional controller very slightly in the
respective direction often suffices.
There is a general tendency during
preliminary attempts at flight to operate
the model‘s controls too aggressively.
Always operate the controls slowly and
carefully. Never fast and fitfully.
• Beginners should first master trimming
before attempting to master the thrust
controller. The model does not necessarily
have to fly straight at the beginning -
initially, it is more important to maintain
a constant height of approximately one
meter above the ground by repeatedly
tapping the thrust control. Only then
should the pilot practice steering the
model left and right.
BATTERY STATUS:
• If the battery is empty, the LEDs on the model start to flash. Land immediately in
order to avoid crashing.
Flying model aircraft and helicopters outdoors has required mandatory liability
insurance since 2005. Contact your private liability insurer and make sure that your
new and earlier models are included in your insurance coverage. Request written
confirmation and keep this in a safe place. Alternatively, the DMFV offers a trial
membership free of charge online at www.dmfv.aero, which includes insurance.
ATTENTION!
