IV – FLYING YOUR BIONIC BIRD
Conditions of use:
Indoor use doesn’t require any conditions except a room big enough to fly around without
obstacle. Outdoor use requires adapted weather conditions, ideally no wind at all
(recommended for beginner, and compulsory to balance wings, see below), and no rain.
For an experienced user, wind up to 8 mph is acceptable, if it’s steady. So it’s better to
choose an open area, far from trees or buildings, which could create whirlwinds.
Avoid flying near a road, or water, where it could fall by accident.
Adjusting the tail
The tail angle is adjustable (5 notches), making possible to adjust the speed of BIONIC
BIRD.
To change the notch, just push or pull on the base of the tail.
* For indoor flights, in a confined space, or for slow flights: set the tail in a high position
(choose the notch n° 3, starting from the bottom, among the 5 possible positions).
The notches 4 and 5 are not recommended at begin.
* For outdoor flights, in a big space or for fast flights: adjust the tail in a low position
(using the notch 1 or 2).
Notch 2 is recommended for beginners. Notch 1 is for best performance but requires a bit
of practice, and wings adjustment (see below).
NB
: When picking up the bird after landing, always check that the tail hasn't moved to
another notch. If so, set it back again.
Tail in fast flight position
Tail in slow flight position
