Step 6 – Runway Takeoff
1. Prior to attempting a runway takeoff, you should have had several
successful flights of hand launching the Ember 2.
2. Make certain the aircraft battery is fully charged.
3. Turn on the transmitter.
4. Plug in the aircraft battery.
5. Stand behind the Ember 2. Make certain you are on a smooth
surface such as concrete or wood.
6. Apply full throttle and adjust the left stick so that you keep your
Ember 2 on its intended path.
7. If the battery is fully charged, you should be able to lift off the
ground in a few feet. As you notice the back of the plane
beginning to lift a bit off the ground, apply some “up” elevator by
pulling back on the right stick. Do not give too much “up” elevator,
or you can cause the airplane to enter into a stall.
