Pre-Flight Continued
☐
Go flying.
Point model into wind (if present)
and steadily advance throttle to full. Use
rudder to correct track while on ground roll.
Within several feet the model should be
airborne. Fly model to a comfortable 1-2
mistake high altitude, reduce throttle to stop
climb, then trim model for straight and level
flight at a comfortable cruise speed
(Depending on speed control responsiveness,
the
Fly Baby Bipe (UM)
typically cruises at
just over 1/2 throttle).
☐
Setup for landing.
Clearly announce your
intention to land. Make landings into the
wind. With rudder/elevator control and no
ailerons setting up landings in cross-winds
should be avoided until you are comfortable
with the model’s in-flight behavior.
Congratulations!
You’ve completed your first flight(s) on your
Stevens Aero
Fly Baby Bipe (UM)
.
By now you’ll have noticed that the
Fly Baby
Bipe (UM)
is a very stable airplane. When built
straight, and trimmed for level flight, the
Fly Baby
Bipe (UM)
should always return to wings level
from any attitude. We’ve found the
Fly Baby
Bipe (UM)
to capture the imagination of
prospective pilots both young and old. We never
miss an opportunity to allow an on-looker at the
field to get some stick time in with the
Fly Baby
Bipe (UM)
. In-fact we’ve found the
Fly Baby
Bipe (UM)
to be a very capable, instructor
assisted, three channel trainer.
If your first flight was a bit more exciting than
you’d have liked and are 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 try and fly with a warped or
twisted wing. Make certain that your wing is
straight before you fly.
We are committed to improving your build and
flying experience and are constantly refining our
processes, designs, and manuals to reflect
customer feedback. You may correspond with
