IV. FLYING
You should have a flight instructor teach you how to fly the Whisper. Like a real airplane, you must have an
understanding of how to fly the model before launch, or you will probably not be successful. Check at your hobby shop
or call the AMA (in the front of this book) for flying clubs in your area.
1. Pre-Flight Checklist
Choose a calm day for your first flights. Never fly in winds over 10 mph. Also, choose an open field with
no obstacles or people.
