At the Field, First and Subsequent Flights:
Perform the Pre-Flight checks and tests as described in the Pre-Flight Section. One should get in the
habit of doing these checks before each flight.
Flying the Bampf 3D Extreme
Take Off:
The Bampf will taxi and track straight forward, if one has set up the rudder and tail wheel properly.
Smoothly run up the engine and allow speed to gather. Use most of the runway on your first flight. Gently, pull
back on the elevator stick and climb smoothly and gradually to a safe altitude. Do not “yank” the plane off the
ground on its first flights.
Flying:
Take it easy on the first flight and for several flights thereafter. Get a feel for the planes flying character-
istics and trim for level flight with-the-wind (down wind). You may experience a bit of altitude gain into the wind
(up wind leg). This is normal. If this is a new engine, get several flights on it before stressing and testing it with
aggressive aerobatic maneuvers.
You may want to “pull-back” on the throttle to about half speed to allow for greater reaction time until you
get accustomed to the flight characteristics.
The Bampf is a smooth, yet responsive aircraft. Try a few loops and axial rolls to test its aerobatic perfor-
mance. Move to a safe altitude and throttle back to a near idle to check its slow speed handling in preparation
for landing. The Bampf will not slow down immediately when you throttled back due to its very sleek fuselage
profile. So be prepared to bleed off some speed well before the landing approach.
With the low-resistance cowl profile, the Bampf 3D will glide very well and one should not over react to a
“dead-stick” situation. Don’t over control, let the Bampf glide back to the field.
Landing:
The Bampf can land smooth and slow, or, hot and fast. Remember to bleed off some speed for a slow
and smooth landing. It has excellent slow speed characteristics, and forgiving and straight forward stall behav-
iors. Fly your normal pattern, but throttle back a little sooner than normal to bleed off speed.
Line up on the runway and allow the plane to descend normally. With the tricycle gear, you can three
point or rear wheel landing (on the wing wheels) the plane. With a low wing, the plane will tend to “sit-down” on
the runway quickly and roll out smoothly.
Stop the engine well short of the pit (follow your clubs rules ...... never taxi or return your plane with the
engine running to the pit area). Return your plane to the pit and perform the “Pre-Flight” tests. Check again to
be sure nothing has come loose.
