a park flyer. Turn on the transmitter, plug in the flight battery, and turn
on the switch for the radio. Check all control surfaces and basic motor
operation. Check the motor at full throttle. Pick the model up and cycle
the retracts. If everything is working properly you are ready for flight.
Taxi the model onto the runway. Make a few taxi tests and get the nose
gear steering adjusted so the model rolls straight down the runway. For
your first flight leave the flaps up on takeoff until you are familiar with
the Habu 32. Set the dual rates to the middle position. If you have set the
rudder and steering up separately then you can also set the nose gear for
a lower rate.
Takeoff
While applying power slowly steer with the rudder to keep the model
straight. the Habu 32 should accelerate quickly. As the model gains flight
speed, you will want to rotate when you feel comfortable. The Habu 32 will
climb out at a nice angle of attack.
Trimming and Flight Characteristics
After takeoff, gain some altitude and retract the landing gear and switch
to low rates. Climb to a safe altitude and begin to trim the model. Once
you have the model trimmed you will want to get an idea of the flight
quality with the flaps down and the model slowed down. Slow the model
down to a little below half power and drop the flaps to the middle position.
Check the trim again and also note if the model needs any up or down
elevator compensation. At this time you may also need to come back up
on the power a little. Now try full flaps and note any other trim changes
at this time. The Habu 32 will fly very nicely with full flaps added and is
very predictable in this configuration. Drop the landing gear and switch
back to middle rates at this time to check the trim once again in landing
configuration. Once you are happy with this, retract the gear, pull the flaps
up, and switch back to low rates and start to enjoy the performance of
the Habu 32. You will find the model tracks very well through all aspects
of flight. From high-speed passes, inverted flight, loops, and point rolls,
you will be flying like a jet pilot in no time. Get a feel for all dual rates. The
high rates are only used for snap and spin maneuvers. Middle rates are for
takeoff and landings. Low rates are for normal and precision flight.
Landing
Remember to keep an eye on the radio timer. After 3 minutes on the
first flight it’s time to drop the flaps, the retracts, and set the rates in the
middle and start shooting a few approaches with the Habu 32. To set up
for landing, drop the flaps and retracts, set the rates to the middle position
and enter the downwind pattern for landing. If you are landing in higher
winds or cross winds use middle flaps instead of full flaps. Adjust power to
slow the plane down but keep flying speed. As you roll onto final approach
manage the power and begin to pull the nose up. The Habu 32 has a very
nice approach and decent rate. You will find that with the nose slightly
high you can control the final approach descent with power management.
The key to a great landing is to manage the power and elevator all the
way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear. After a
few flights you will find the Habu can be set down lightly on the mains and
you can hold the nose wheel off balancing the model on the mains till it
slows and gently settle the nose. We hope you enjoy flying the

range test your radIo
Before each flying session, and especially with a new model, it is
important to perform a range check. It is helpful to have another person
available to assist during the range check. If you are using a Spektrum
transmitter, please refer to your transmitter’s manual for detailed
instructions on the range check process.

1. With the model resting on the ground, stand 30 paces (approximately
90 feet) away from the model.
 2. Face the model with the transmitter in your normal flying position.
Be sure the throttle is in the full down position and plug the flight battery
into the speed control.
 3. As you move the controls, watch to be sure the airplane’s motor
and controls operate smoothly. You should have total control of the
model at 30 paces (90 feet).
 4. If control issues exist, call the appropriate Horizon Product Support
office or go to horizonhobby.com to find a local Spektrum distributor in
your country for service if using a Spektrum radio system.
daIly FlIght checks
 1. Check the battery voltage of the transmitter battery. Do not fly
below the manufacturer’s recommended voltage. To do so can crash your
aircraft.
E-tips
When you check these batteries, ensure you have the polarities correct
on your expanded scale voltmeter.
 2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts, and bolts) prior to each
day’s flight. Be sure that binding does not occur and that all parts are
properly secured.

3. Ensure all surfaces are moving in the proper manner.

4. Perform a ground range check before each day’s flying session.
 5. Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off your transmitter, then turn it
back on. Do this each time you start your aircraft. If any critical switches
are on without your knowledge, the transmitter alarm will sound a warning
at this time.

6. Check that all trim levers are in the proper location.
 7. All servo pigtails and switch harness plugs should be secured in the
receiver. Make sure the switch harness moves freely in both directions.
