Your model is now complete. You MUST READ AND FOLLOW all of the safety rules. We hope that you have enjoyed
assembling your model and hope that you enjoy many fine flights.
Your First Flights
1.
Make sure that all flying surfaces are straight and warp free.
2.
Wind the motor about 100 turns.
3.
Point the nose of the model into any gentle breeze that may be blowing.
4.
Release the propeller and after it starts turning gently toss the model aiming the nose at a point on the ground 100' in front
of you. Adjust the model to circle while increasing the number of turns in the motor. Adjustments can be made by gently
bending the tail surfaces and wing trailing edge.
5.
A properly trimmed model will circle to the left while climbing under power, level out as the power runs down and transition
into a right hand gliding circle.
