Using Elevator
The Aerobird 3 ™ is equipped with a third
channel for elevator (pitch) control. Pulling
back on the stick provides UP elevator that
allows for shorter takeoffs, better flares
for landing, a better climb rate and more
effective turns (see “Turning” on pages
19–20, Step 13). Trying to climb too quickly
will cause the airspeed to slow down and stall
the airplane. To avoid crashing from a stall,
always maintain enough altitude to recover
from it.
Just after a stall happens, the nose of the
plane will go down (looks like the plane is
diving). To recover from the stall, pull the stick
back slowly (UP elevator) once the nose of
the plane goes down and plane has built up
airspeed. Exit the stall to straight and level
flight. Be careful, since pulling the stick back
too abruptly or for too long will cause the
Aerobird 3 to enter another stall. Effectively
avoiding and recovering from stalls requires
experience. Always seek the help of an expe-
rienced radio control pilot if you are not famil-
iar or inexperienced with pitch control.
When using DOWN elevator (pushing stick
forward), make sure to always have enough
altitude to avoid crashing into the ground.
DOWN elevator is especially effective when
landing in small areas or over obstacles.
