* 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.
Flying METABIRD
* Launching: Push the throttle stick ¾ of the way up.
Always point MetaBird facing the wind, launch the bird
from your hand with a gentle horizontal toss. Let it gain
some altitude before trying any turns. If it flies
downward, you can try with the tail one notch higher.
* Gliding flight: To make MetaBird glide: gain altitude,
reduce speed and get the bird flying straight, then cut
the throttle.
* Out of range: If MetaBird flies out of range of the
transmitter, just get closer to the bird and it will connect
again immediately.
* Emergency landing: If you need to land MetaBird
quickly (in a risky situation), turn right or left to
maximum and cut throttle, then release the direction
stick. MetaBird will nosedive towards the ground.
Generally, doing tight turns will cause MetaBird to
descend. It is a good way to control its flight.
WARNING: do not keep the steering at maximum on one
side for a long time, even when the bird is not flying
because it could cause the steering micro-motor to
overheat.
