Turning
Hold the right stick in the direction you want the
model to turn.
Trimming
If the model always turns one direction, use the
trim control lever below the control stick to cor-
rect (see below). The model should fly straight
with the control stick at neutral. See page 20 if
additional adjustment is needed.
Flying
Important: Be careful when holding the right
stick full-over right or left for extended amounts
of time. In some cases, this can cause the model
to spiral dive, and if it does not have sufficient
altitude, to crash. If you see the Firebird IIST
™
beginning to enter a spiral, release the right stick.
1. After launching, the model will begin climbing.
Keep the throttle full-on.
2. Make right and left adjustments of the right
control stick to keep it flying straight into the
wind. Don't attempt a turn until model reaches
50 feet of altitude.
3. Control range is 2500 feet. Don't let the model
fly too far away. Keep upwind, especially if the
wind is over 8 mph, or the wind may carry
it away. Turn off or reduce power if you are
climbing to high or losing ground in high
winds.
Important: Remember, the higher you fly, the
stronger the wind will be.
Important: If you hold the right stick over too
long, it may be possible to enter a spiral. If you
start to spiral, release the throttle stick and briefly
apply opposite steering with the right stick, then
let go of the controls until the plane recovers.
