Test Flight
Before the first flight, it’s suggest to check if every component is well connected, tilting servos working
properly, motors spinning to the correct direction and all control surfaces are moving to the desired
directions.
It’s suggested to use 3 modes, Cruise, Qhover and Qloiter as the labled modes on a three position switch.
It’s suggested to do the first flight in a very open area with no buildings or big trees around, and a flat taking
off area is necessary.
Use the Qhover(or Qloiter) mode, start the motors by pushing the rudder all to the right with the throttle at
the lowest position, the motors should start to spin, gradually increase the throttle until the plane is ready
to lift from the ground, move aileron, elevator and rudder stick gently to check if the plane is moving as
desired.
Continue to push the throttle until the plane is lifted from ground, it may swing a bit since there should be big
airflow hitting the wing, lift the plane to around 3 meters and try to fly it as a multicopter, it should not be a
problem for anyone who can play a multicopter.
When you are familiar with all controls, lift the plane to at least 30m from the ground and make sure there is
not obstacle in front of the plane.
Switch it to Cruise mode, the Nimbus should tilt the two front motors together to gather speed, once the
speed is reaching at least 12m/s, the front motors will tilt straight and rear motor stops spinning, then the
Nimbus is now transferred to fixed wing.
It’s also suggested to active the short and long failsafe, the default action is respectively CIRCLE and RTH.
So in case the plane lose RC control, it will go back all by itself.
