Pre-Flight Checks.
1.
Before flying this model check that it is assembled correctly as per the manual
and is free from any damage that may have occur
r
ed during transport.
2.
Insert the battery and check that the center of gravity is correct, this is 70mm
back from the leading edge of the top wing. Initial flights can be a bit forward of this
position, this will make it slightly more stable in pitch. As you get used to the model
you can move the center of gravity back to the recommended position. Secure the
battery with velcro on the bottom of the pack and a velcro strap around it. If the
battery shifts in flight this could have disastrous results and will cause loss of
control.
3.
Ensure that the pushrods and control surfaces move freely with no binding. For
checking and best results disconnect the pushrods and flex the control surfaces by
hand to free up any stiffness in the hinges. Reconnect the pushrods and retest the
controls prior to the first flight.
4.
After turning on the transmitter and connecting the battery perform a full range
check with and without the motor running, also do a control direction check as per
the
guide on
the
previous page.
5.
Conduct a full power test being very careful with the spinning prop. If there is
exces
sive
vibration then inspect the propeller for damage, also check that the
motor
shaft is not bent.
6.
Inspect your flying location, make sure it is free from trees, vehicles, people and
other obstructions before taking off.
7.
If your transmitter has a countdown timer then set it for 10mins for your first few
flights. Check the capacity of your battery after use on these flights and adjust your
timer accordingly.
8.
Line the model up into wind and apply the power smoothly, the tail should come
up on its own. Allow the speed to build sufficiently before applying a little up
elevator, failure to do this may result in loss of control. Climb out gently, not too
steep and do not turn until you have sufficient height. Fly with low rates set on your
transmitter for initial flights until you are comfortable with the model.
9.
Test how the model reacts during a stall at a high altitude before commit
t
ing to a
landing. Reduce power, gradually apply up elevator to induce a stall. Once the
model stalls and the nose drops release the elevator, apply some power and
recover.
10.
For landing, reduce power into wind and use the elevator to control the pitch
attitude and power to control the descent rate
, once again do not turn too low
to the
ground
. Cut the power just prior to touchdown to prevent a propeller strike
