Until you can efficiently fly your model, you should always be supported by a second person
at hand start.
Your helper holds the model at the bottom of the fuselage. When both have signaled ,,ready“,
move the throttle lever to full power. Your helper should take a few steps with the aircraft high
above the head, then throw the model quickly but controllably, either parallel to the ground
or with tip up. At first, the model will still rise gently, but within a few seconds it will also reach
enough speed to climb up high. Move the elevator to „up“ to establish the ascent.
Once you have reached a safe flight speed at a comfortable height (about 15 feet), use the
controls as necessary to make a gentle turn away from the runway.
You should keep in mind that when the aircraft flies away from you, you have to move the aile-
ron stick to the right, so that the aircraft is moving to the right.
When the models flies towards you, move the aileron stick to the right and the aircraft moves
to the left. Of course, the aircraft still responds in the same way, it is only that your orientation
has reversed. This should be kept in mind while you are learning to fly (and it is also a good
reason to take flight hours from an experienced pilot!)
To make a turn, pull the elevator upwards while you operate the aileron to bring the model into
a transverse position. To stop the turn, move the aileron in the opposite direction.
As soon as you have lifted the aircraft to an appropriate altitude, your first task will be to trim
the model for the straight ahead flight. The model flies best at about 3/4 gas. Adjust the trims
of the transmitter so that small control surface adjustments can be made as required until the
aircraft flies straight without countersteering. Maybe your helper can adjust the trim for you.
Remember to keep the model high enough to have enough response time for corrections, but
do not fly too far away. Otherwise, it will be difficult to detect airports and directions.
