POWERED FLIGHTS

Wind up the motor with approximately 50 turns

(wind clockwise looking at the front of the model)

and launch it into the direction of the wind (if

present). This should achieve a gentle powered

glide. Aim for a gentle left turn by adding a tab

made from clear acetate (the clear film that you

might find on a chocolate box ‘window’) to the

trailing edge of the rudder. Adjust it towards the

left to make the plane turn left and to the right if

the left turn is too sharp. If the left wing ‘dips’ and

the model spirals in, then add an acetate tab to the

left hand wing and bend it down a little. Gradually

increase the turns on the motor in steps of 50 turns

up to approximately 250 for the short simple loop.

At each step make adjustments to the tabs to

control the flight pattern. If you struggle to get your

model to fly well, then check for warps in the flying

surfaces of the model. These can be removed by

twisting them over a bowl of steaming water.
