Preflight check and glide test
Do a preflight check before every flight. Always turn the transmitter power on before the receiver. Make sure that
the controls are working properly. Check the trim levers on the transmitter. Pull the elevator control stick back
and observe that both elevons move upward. Push the control stick to the right and observe the right elevon
moves up and the left elevon moves down. Hold the wing securely by the nose. The first glide test should be
done on flat land in a light breeze. The wing should be held by the nose with your palm up and your thumb
wrapped around to the top. Hold the wing over your head with the nose pointed straight ahead. Run slowly into
the wind. Give it a gentle push STRAIGHT AHEAD. Do not point the nose upward. Correct the flight path with the
radio control stick. The test is successful when the wing flies straight ahead with a slow sink rate to a sliding
landing. Trim levers on the transmitter can be used to adjust the glide path. If the wing turns in either direction
after the launch, compensate by adding 2 or 3 clicks of trim in the opposite direction. If the wing pitches up and
immediately dives, add 2 or 3 clicks of down trim. Repeat the glide test until the Zagi 5C flies straight ahead with
a slow sink rate to a sliding landing. Increase the launch speed each time to provide longer control flights.
First flight
Check the frequencies (channel number) of all pilots within visual range before turning on your transmitter. Turn-
ing on your transmitter with the same channel number as someone who is flying will certainly cause his plane to
crash.
The Zagi 5C is capable of high speed. Flights at a high rate of speed can cause considerable damage to
someone or something if a collision occurs. Please exercise caution while flying. It is recommended that you
join the Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) (1-800-435-9262) to provide insurance, awareness of safe
flying practices, and knowledge of what’s going on in the modeling field. At some flying sites it is manda-
tory that you be a member of the AMA.
Hold the wing by the nose with your palm up over your head and your thumb wrapped around to the top. Take a
step or two forward and give the wing a good strong throw into the wind. A follow through with a little finger tip will
increase the launch speed.
Good luck,
