Check the operation of all control surfaces. If the
control surfaces do not move as shown in the sketch,
reverse the direction of the servo reversing switches
on the front of the radio.
CHOOSE A GOOD FLYING SITE
The SkyFly 2 should be fl own only when the wind
speed is 5 mph or less.
If the wind is calm or very
light, the SkyFly 2 will be docile and easy to control.
Also, fi nd an area clear of trees, power lines and
other structures. A fl ying fi eld for R/C planes is best.
Don’t fl y around groups of people, especially children
or within 6-miles of existing R/C fl ying fi elds.
PREPARE FOR TAKEOFF
Find an open area free of buildings, trees, power
lines and people. For your fi rst few fl ights, fl y only
when the wind is calm. After you are comfortable with
the airplane, you can fl y in winds that are no more
than 5 miles per hour. If fl own in stronger winds, the
plane may be blown down wind and not have enough
power to get back. If others are fl ying in the same area,
make sure that they are not using the same channel
radio system you are. The front of your transmitter
has a tag with a number on it (i.e. 1 through 6 and
26.995 through 27.255). This is the channel number
and frequency you are using. If someone is on the
same channel or frequency, DO NOT switch on your
transmitter until they are fi nished fl ying.
FLYING THE SKYFLY 2
Your transmitter controls the altitude, direction and
speed of the airplane. The stick controls the altitude
and direction and the slide on the top, left side of the
transmitter controls the speed. When the fl ight battery
power gets too low, the “Auto Cut-Off” feature of the
speed control will stop the motor. When this happens
you must land. Moving the slide for the throttle to
off and then back to full power should yield enough
additional power to land the airplane under power.
If not the airplane does have a very good glide path
and should be able to safely land without power.
First, extend the transmitter antenna and switch your
transmitter power switch “ON.”
Be sure your throttle
slide is moved to the bottom, left position.
Second, connect your battery to the electronic speed
control in the fuselage.
Caution: Keep your hands away from the propeller.
The throttle slide must be fi rst moved to the idle
(bottom, left) position in order to activate the throttle
function. Once this is done, slide the throttle to the
full power position and leave it there for 5 seconds.
Move the throttle slide back down to the off position.
The propeller is now armed. Moving the throttle stick
upward will cause the prop to rotate. The farther the
slide is moved, the faster it will spin.
