Flying
We recommend that takeoffs and landings be made on LOW RATES. Initial flights should be made
using LOW RATES until you are familiar with the aircraft. LOW RATES allow you to fly smooth pat-
tern maneuvers. The jet is very stable with solid handling. On HIGH RATES with the Thrust Vec-
toring turned on, the airplane can perform amazing maneuvers. High Alpha Harrier flight is easy
to steer using the thrust vector nozzles as your elevator and rudder controls. Flat spins are easily
accomplished using full rudder and up elevator combined with a bit of opposite aileron. Example:
Full left rudder, full up elevator and some right aileron to perform a left flat spin. Exit the maneuver
by neutralizing the elevator and aileron and applying slight right rudder. This is a larger size model
and requires the use of a scale type landing approach. Set up your final approach with a slight
nose high angle of attack and about 1/4 throttle, allow the jet to settle applying a little throttle to
arrest the descent and touch down on the main gear first. Let it roll out and avoid turning sharply
when taxing fast.
