pre-flight & testing
Motor:
Should run smoothly at all stick positions, and transition
smoothly from low to high RPM. If the motor is turning
backwards, reverse two of the three wires between the motor
and ESC. Check that the screws holding the motor to the
airframe are tight and secure.
Flight Controls:
Set all to neutral or level positions with sticks
in the neutral positions. Ensure that all controls and linkages
move freely. Double check that all hinged areas are free from
rips or tears. Verify proper control surface directions. Right Roll
is – right aileron up, left aileron down, Left Roll is left aileron up
and right aileron down.
Batteries:
Should be fully charged prior to each flight. Watch
transmitter battery level and follow manufactures
recommendations. Motor battery should not be drained any
further than recommended by the manufacture, use a timer to
prevent an over discharged condition.
Radio:
All trims should be set to neutral and throttle in the low
position. Check that rate switches and mixes are set properly.
Range Check:
With and without the motor running per radio
manufactures instructions. If there is insufficient range or
significant reduction with the motor running, resolve and re-test
before flying.
The first flights should be done with the CG at the
recommended position, and reduced control rates until
comfortable with your handling of the aircraft. As your
experience with the aircraft grows experiment with different CG
points and control rates. After all flights, check the aircraft over
for damage and/or other items that may adversely affect flight
performance.
This Extreme 3D Plane is a full performance aircraft and will
provide hours of entertainment, including the occasional crash.
If, as the result of a crash, the foam tears, simply glue with
Welders or CA. Many pilots prefer Welders because it remains
flexible after drying. CA however, is more suited for the “quick”
repair.
This aircraft can be flown indoors or outdoors. It is however
designed specifically indoor flying and will be right at home in
the local gymnasium or other similar sized venue.
Storage
This EPP plane should be stored resting it's landing gear or
hung from the prop. Storing in other fashions that put stress on
the airframe could cause the airframe to distort. Storage in a
hot car could also cause damage.
