Preflight Checks
Motor
:
Should run smoothly at all stick positions, and
transition smoothly from low to high RPM. If the motor is
turning backwards, reverse two of the three wires between
the motor and ESC. Check that the screws holding the
motor to the airframe are tight and secure.
Flight Controls
:
Set all to neutral or level positions with
sticks in the neutral positions. Ensure that all controls and
linkages move freely. Double check that all hinged areas are
free from rips or tears. Verify proper control surface
directions. Right Roll is – right aileron up, left aileron down,
Left Roll is left aileron up and right aileron down.
Batteries
:
Should be fully charged prior to each flight.
Watch transmitter battery level and follow manufactures
recommendations. Motor battery should not be drained any
further than recommended by the manufacture, use a timer
to prevent an over discharged condition.
Radio
:
All trims should be set to neutral and throttle in
the low position. Check that rate switches and mixes are
set properly.
Range Check
:
With and without the motor running per
radio manufactures instructions. If there is insufficient
range or significant reduction with the motor running,
resolve and re-test before flying.
Flight Testing
The first flights should be done with the CG at the
recommended position, and reduced control rates until
comfortable with your handling of the aircraft. As your
experience with the aircraft grows experiment with different
CG points and control rates. After all flights, check the
aircraft over for damage and/or other items that may
adversely affect flight performance.
This Extreme F3P Plane is a full performance aircraft and
will provide hours of entertainment, including the
occasional crash. If, as the result of a crash, the foam
tears, simply glue with Welders or CA. Many pilots prefer
Welders because it remains flexible after drying. CA
however, is more suited for the “quick” repair.
This aircraft can be flown indoors or outdoors. It is however
designed specifically indoor flying and will be right at home
in the local gymnasium or other similar sized venue.
Storage
This EPP plane should be stored resting it's landing gear or
hung from the prop. Storing in other fashions that put
stress on the airframe could cause the airframe to distort.
Storage in a hot car could also cause damage.
Be safe and enjoy, thank you again for purchasing a Twisted Hobbys’ Product!
