Before each and every flight, a new pilot must be aware of issues that may arise. These steps will help to ensure a successful flight.
1.
The radio must be turned on first before ever plugging a battery to the ESC.
2.
Before flight, check to make sure the ESC is functioning properly. Either anc
h
or the plane down or have someone hold the
airplane by the tail and advance the throttle to ensure the RPM increases smoothly with throttle application. Do NOT stand in
front of the airplane!
3. Check your CG before flight, especially if you are switching between different types of batteries.
4. Always take off into the wind, whether hand launching or taking off from the ground.
5.
Before flight, ensure that the control surfaces are moving in the correct direction.
6.
After take off, gain altitude and get 'three mistakes' of height before leveling off. Then, when in level flight at about half
t
hrottle, trim the plane to fly straight and level.
7.
Set your timer to 4 minutes and land when the timer sounds that you are out of time. Check your battery and see how much
p
ower you have left. You can adjust the flight times so that you have about 30% left when you land. Use caution, if you run
th
e
battery do
w
n too low, you will lose power and possibly control of the airplane.
8. Spare parts are available through your local dealer or go to www.sz-freewing.com, but many parts are repairable.
