BEFORE YOU FLY
Now you are ready to fly your pride and joy. I highly recommend that if this is your first RC
model, you find someone who will be able to instruct you on RC flight. Check out your local
AMA clubs at
www.modelaircraft.org
to find a club near you.
So now that you are at the flying field with your helper. Perform all necessary radio and
equipment checks. (Refer to your radio owner’s manual) Turn the transmitter on. Connect
the Lipo battery to the speed control, with Deans connector (following the instructions for your
electronic speed control). Both outboard elevons should be deflected up approx 1/2"
.Moving
the aileron stick to the right on your transmitter,the right outboard elevon should deflect
up 1”and the left outboard elevon should be deflected down flush with wing. Moving the
aileron stick to the left on your transmitter, the left outboard elevon should be deflected up
1” and the right outboard elevon should be deflected down flush with wing. Now pull back on
elevator stick both elevons should deflect up 1” on each side. Now push forward on the
elevator stick and both outboard elevons should deflect down flush with wing. Center elevons
should move with outboard elevons
(see page 17)
for throws
Have your helper
hold the plane keeping clear of the propeller move the throttle stick slowly forward the
propeller should spin clockwise standing behind should spin clockwise standing behind from the
tail forward. Check that full power and power off match the stick position on your
transmitter.
FIRST FLIGHT
For your first flight have your helper hand
launch the plane, tossing the plane at a
very slight upward angle with
3/4
throttle.
Once the plane is clear of her or his hand
apply full throttle and climb to a comfortable
altitude to get use to how this plane handles.
You will find it’s very stable and can fly very
slow yet it’s very aerobatic. Landing is very
simple, point it into the wind throttle back
and the plane will settle into a nice
comfortable controllable decent.
The T-15 is very rugged and can take a lot of abuse however in extreme heat, the plastic can
warp. Avoid leaving it in a hot car or storing it in a manner that distorts the wing or tail. Also
in extreme cold this plastic may become stiff and brittle and lose some of its impact resistance.
HAPPY FLYING AND SMOOTH LANDINGS.
