3.4 Flying Tips
This aircraft is designed to fly in the space as small as a single basketball court. Being such light weight,
it is recommended that this aircraft be flown indoors or outdoors in calm wind conditions. Always
ensure that you are comfortable with the aircraft and its flight characteristics prior to flying in a small
venue. Never fly over people or animals.
This aircraft flies much “bigger” than it really is and the techniques of flying larger aircraft apply. Rudder
turns will bank the aircraft so elevator will need to be added to maintain altitude. The delta-wing design
is inherently stable and makes this model a pure joy to fly! This model can fly slowly in high alpha flight,
but when you drop the nose it is remarkably quick and nimble. Landing the aircraft is simple; keep some
throttle applied and as the plane nears the ground, pull back on the elevator to flare.
3.5 Decorating/Finishing
The beauty of this aircraft is that you have the opportunity to finish it with the look that you desire. We
recommend using colored packaging tape (available on the

success in the past as have permanent markers. Prior to using any paints or markers, test on a scrap
piece of foam to ensure that it doesn’t melt the foam.
Remember that any weight you add to the airframe will affect its performance so keep heavy
applications of paint and decals to a minimum.
