FLYING

Carry out a range-check (motor ON and OFF) before flight. If possible, have a helper
hand- launch the model for you for the first launch.

It is important to set the elevator trim for the hand-launch so that the model settles
into a good climb attitude without pilot intervention. To this end, set the trailing
edge of the elevator about 3mm UP (when measured at the widest point of the
elevator). If this trim is not set for take-off, be prepared to feed in a good amount of
back-stick immediately after launch.

Grip the model behind the wing near where the fuselage splits, and with full-power
applied take a few steps forward, launching the model in a level or slightly nose-up
attitude into the wind. The Aviojet will settle slightly then climb away strongly even
with no wind.

Once at altitude and at cruising speed the nose-up trim applied for the launch will
need to be removed.
 For such an apparently bulky model the Aviojet is remarkably quick, even on the
baseline power of around 180WATTS IN.
 Aerobatic manoeuvres such as loops and rolls are all easy to perform, just remember
to throttle back on the downside of the loops as the aircraft builds up speed very
quickly.
