maintains altitude with just a little rudder input! You will also
discover that your SUN DANCER 50 has outstanding inverted
flight characteristics.
Our prototypes require only the smallest
amount of down elevator to maintain level inverted flight!
Assuming you're comfortable and getting used to the airplane,
take it to a safe altitude and throttle back to get a feel for the slow
flight and stall characteristics. Properly balanced and trimmed,
your SUN DANCER 50 should demonstrate fairly sedate, no fuss
stall characteristics.
Once flying speed is bled off and full up
elevator input is reached, the SUN DANCER 50 should just drop
its nose and resume flying as speed picks up. All of this is great
information to have when you are setting up the first landing.
Landing the SUN DANCER 50 is a pleasure. We like to keep a
little power on the engine during final approach, down to a few feet
off the ground. Back completely off the throttle once the airplane
is low to the ground with a good rate of descent established. Flair

landing and rollout.
Hard landings are not necessary, sound
piloting skills are.
The second flight should be even more fun because you have now
inputted any required trim changes learned from the first flight.
Before flying again, check the airplane for anything that may have
come loose, become disconnected, etc. This is good practice and
tends to insure a long life for the model.
As you become more familiar with your SUN DANCER 50, you’ll
discover its ability to perform some very nice aerobatics. The SUN
DANCER 50 is an elegant aerobatic machine with seemingly
endless capabilities.
We hope you will enjoy your SUN DANCER 50 for a long time to
come. Please fly the model safely with constant regard to other
fliers, spectators, and property.
Good Luck and Good Flying!
