3.4 Flying Tips
This
aircraft
is
designed
to
be
the
perfect
“toss
in
the
car”
model
for
most
fliers!
The
compact
size
allows
it
to
fly
in
smaller
parks,
but
the
speed
that
it
is
capable
of
makes
it
a
great
choice
for
your
local
flying
field
as
well.
With
smaller
control
throws
and
more
expo,
the
Mana
‐
Tee
is
a
great
choice
for
newer
pilots
that
are
getting
their
feet
wet
with
aileron
controls.
Turn
the
throws
up
and
you
get
a
plane
that
is
extremely
aerobatic
and
will
perform
axial
rolls
at
an
alarming
rate!
Landing
the
aircraft
is
simple;
keep
some
throttle
applied
and
as
the
plane
nears
the
ground,
pull
back
on
the
elevator
to
flare.
We
developed
this
model
for
club
combat
events
and
have
found
many
pilots
bringing
them
out
on
non
‐
combat
nights
because
they
are
just
so
much
fun
to
fly!
When
we
do
fly
combat
we
have
used
full
‐
width
(~2”)
x
20’
crepe
paper
streamers
attached
with
tape
to
the
rear
of
the
fuselage
with
no
significant
degradation
in
performance.
In
the
“rare”
case
that
a
Mana
‐
Tee
is
involved
in
a
mid
‐
air
collision,
the
reinforced
plywood
battery
box
and
strong,
interlocking
construction
should
provide
your
electronics
and
battery
protection
over
other
combat
plane
designs.
Remember:
Always
follow
the
AMA
safety
guidelines!
Never
fly
over
people
or
animals.
3.5 Decorating/Finishing
The
beauty
of
this
aircraft
is
that
you
have
the
opportunity
to
finish
it
with
the
look
that
you
desire.
We
recommend
using
colored
packaging
tape
(available
on
the
Building
Supplies
section
of
our
website)
for
decorating
as
it
is
easy
to
use,
lightweight,
and
provides
a
nice,
glossy
finish.
Water
‐
based
paints
have
been
used
if
the
foam
had
previously
been
treated
with
oil
‐
based
polyurethane.
Prior
to
using
any
paints
or
markers,
test
on
a
scrap
piece
of
foam
to
ensure
that
it
doesn’t
melt
the
foam.
Remember
that
any
weight
you
add
to
the
airframe
will
affect
its
performance
so
keep
heavy
applications
of
paint
and
decals
to
a
minimum.
3.6 Repairs & Spare Parts

to
this
models
design
and
light

model
is

can
typically

tape

Foam
Tac
