Congratulations!
You’ve completed your first flight(s).
SkyBuggy
™ should have only required a click or
two of trim to obtain level flight and should
perform smoothy in both pitch and roll.
By now you’ll have noticed that
SkyBuggy
™ is a
very stable airplane. When built straight, and
trimmed for level flight,
SkyBuggy
™ should
always return to wings level from any attitude.
We’ve found
SkyBuggy
™ to capture the
imagination of prospective pilots both young and
old. We never miss an opportunity to allow an on-
looker at the field to get some stick time in with
SkyBuggy
™. In-fact we’ve found
SkyBuggy
™
to be a very capable, instructor assisted, three
channel trainer.
If your first flight was a bit more exciting than
you’d have liked and are having problems with
erratic flight performance; please inspect your
equipment and airframe for damage, improper
installation, and/or twists and warps. The most
common mistake is to try and fly with a warped or
twisted wing. With such a fat chord and short
moments a small warp can cause big in-flight
problems. Make certain that your wing is straight
before you fly.
SkyBuggy tricks:
SkyBuggy
™ is capable of most common
Rudder / Elevator / Throttle aerobatics including:
Snaps, Spins, Stalls, Wing-Overs, Stall Turns,
Chandelles, Barrel Rolls, Lazy-8’s, and Loops.
You’ll find that
SkyBuggy
™ really doesn’t like
inverted flight and will rapidly seek a wheels down
attitude each and every time you try to coax it into
an “outside” maneuver.
Have fun learning the ins and outs of
SkyBuggy’s
™ in-flight performance and feel free

staff. We are committed to improving your build
