Sometime well before it’s time to land, you should climb
your SpaceWalker ARF to a safe altitude, reduce the
throttle to an idle and check out the model’s low speed
characteristics. Do this a few times so you know what to
expect upon landing and how the SpaceWalker ARF
handles stalls.
When it’s time to land, fly a normal landing pattern and
approach into the wind. Keep a few clicks of power on until
you are over the runway threshold. For your first few
landings, plan to land slightly faster than stall speed.
Have a ball! But always remember to think about your next
move and plan each maneuver before you do it.
Impulsively “jamming the sticks” without any thought is
what gets most fliers in trouble rather than lack of flying
skill. Happy Landings!
