Clear Prop! -
Before applying power to the
model, clear and keep clear of the prop arc.
As electric motors are capable of inflicting
severe damage (more so than their internal
combustion counterparts) and may turn on
unexpectedly anytime power is applied to the
system. Respect the business end of the
model (the prop and prop arc) treating every
electric model and propellor as if it were a
loaded gun.

Go Flying!
- Enjoy
Daddy-O’s
smooth and
precise flight characteristics. You will notice
that the Stevens AeroModel version of the
Daddy-O 525
is very neutral, thus it flies like
it’s on rails and will go EXACTLY where you
direct it. While by no means an aileron
trainer,
Daddy-O 525
makes an excellent
entry into flying sport and precision
aerobatics.
Daddy-O’s
forgiving thick
symmetric wing will claw at the air to produce
stable low speed flight performance and,
unlike typical aerobatic mounts that feature
double tapered wings, does not exhibit the
nasty tendency to high-speed stall or snap
unexpectedly.
If your first flight was a bit more exciting than
you’d have liked, and you’re having problems
with erratic flight performance; please inspect
your equipment and airframe for damage,
improper installation, and/or twists and warps.
The most common mistake is to mis-identify
or ignore a warped wing. Trying to fly with a
warped or twisted wing will reduce the solid
feel imparted by this excellent design.
Daddy-O 525
is capable of most common
full-house aerobatics including Snaps, Spins,
Stalls, Wing-Overs, Stall Turns, Chandelles,
Barrel Rolls, Lazy-8’s, Cubans, and Loops.
Will it 3D mister?... Goodness, I hope not!
Besides, you’d look a might bit out of place
hovering a
Daddy-O 525
over the runway.
Now quit reading and go out and enjoy your
new Daddy-O 525!
