FLYING YOUR PIRANA
Hand Launching
Activate Launch Assist. Grab the Piraña using the small reliefs in the bottom of the fuselage of the aircraft, or at the
leading edge of the wing, approximately halfway to the wing tip. If using the reliefs in the bottom of the fuselage,
keep the throttle OFF during launch to avoid injury. Take a few brisk strides forward and launch the aircraft in a level
or slightly nose-up attitude. Once the aircraft leaves your hand, advance the throttle to full power. Be careful to avoid
bumping your aileron or elevator sticks. Once the aircraft has climbed to a comfortable altitude, simply move the
ailerons or elevator to disable Launch Assist and continue with the flight.
Trim the aircraft based on our recommendations on page 22 of this instruction manual, being sure to keep the aircraft
in the same Flight Mode that you trimmed it in. Try some basic maneuvers and slowly progress into the airplane’s
flight envelope as you become more comfortable with the aircrafts flight qualities and perfect your setup. At a safe
altitude, try other flight modes as desired. Note: If at any time, such as after gain adjustments, you experience
unexpected control system inputs or oscillations, switch to Mode 1 (gyro off), land and troubleshoot the issue.
Be mindful of your flight time and allow adequate battery reserve for a couple of go-arounds, if necessary, on the
first few flights. Select a landing site for belly landing, such as a grass field. Select Mode 2 and slow the aircraft to
align into the wind and with your landing zone. The airplane should descend smoothly in this configuration with
proper airspeed, Once you are close to the ground, gradually close the throttle fully and begin to smoothly apply up
elevator as required to arrest descent and the airplane should gently touch down with the nose slightly high.
Selecting a flying site is critical to a successful flight. Airplanes require a lot more room than other R/C products,
therefore, a neighborhood or parking lot is less than ideal. A large open field with short grass and generous overfly
area are the best candidates. If no AMA field is available in your area. Know your overfly area-ensure that there
are no houses, playgrounds, or other buildings that may be damaged if the airplane were to crash.
