Also at this point remember that the elevator controls the speed of the model. If you are flying
too slowly then lower the nose using the elevator, if you are flying too fast then raise the nose
slightly, again using the elevator. When you are between 1-2ft (50cm) above the ground, close
the throttle completely and the model will land itself. If you can, just before the model touches
down, ease in a bit of up-elevator to flare to a perfect 3 point landing, that's when the main
wheels and tail wheel touch the ground together.
Once you have had a couple of flights using low rates, then you can experiment with using high
rates. To start with, take-off as normal with the switch in low rates, and the gyro in training mode.
Once you are trimmed out and flying around at height, move the switch to the high rate position.
You will now find that the model is quite a bit more responsive, so be careful with the amount of
control input you use. Once you are ready to fly the circuit, switch back to low rates.
Then when you feel comfortable flying with high rates you can attempt taking off with the switch
in this position. If that goes well and you are comfortable with it, then you can try a circuit and
landing with high rates.
The secret of learning to fly an RC model is to take things step-by-step, do not try to run before
you can walk. Do not try to do too much in one flight, build up to doing things slowly.
12.
Once the model has stopped, disarm the motor straight away with the switch and go and
retrieve it. Remember then to disconnect the battery first, before switching off the transmitter.
Well done, that is your first flight of the Prime Tundra complete.
1.
Do not fly too far away, as it is then difficult to see what the model is doing.
2.
Do not fly too far downwind or behind yourself.
3.
Remember that the power controls your height, and the elevator controls your speed.
4.
If things start to go wrong, neutralize (or let go of) the control sticks, reduce the throttle, and
wait for the model to return to level flight. If you struggle to get it sorted, or it has got too far away
from you to know what it is doing, then just close the throttle completely, leave the control sticks
alone, and the model will sort itself and will land safely. For this reason, choose your flying area
carefully, if this happens you do not want it to land in the top of a tree or hit some wires, etc.
