Trimming the Aircraft
Adjusting Trim in fl ight
The SAFE Plus fl ight mode switch should be set to
Experienced mode
(position 2) before adjusting the trims.
Trimming is best done in calm wind conditions.
If your aircraft does not fl y straight and level at half throttle
with the sticks at neutral, fl y into the wind and adjust the trim
sliders as indicated in the table until the aircraft maintains a
reasonably straight and level fl ight path.
After the aircraft is trimmed in fl ight, land the aircraft and
proceed to the
Manually Adjusting Trim
section to set the trim
mechanically.
The included RTF DXe transmitter features electronic trim
buttons. The transmitter emits a faint beep with each click
of the trim buttons in either direction. Holding the button
in either direction quickly adjusts the trim several steps
until the button is released or until the trim reaches the
end of its travel. If the trim button does not beep when
clicked, the trim is at the far end of its travel. Center trim
is indicated by a slightly louder beep.
