Checking The Centre Of Gravity; The First Take-Off - Reely Sky Sedan Notice D'emploi

7. Checking the Centre of Gravity

Support your model to the right and left of the fuselage
approx. 30 mm behind the front edge of the wing. The model
must be in a balanced position for this.
If the tail drops, glue a balancing weight (screw, washer,
etc.) to the fuselage tip.
if the fuselage tip points downwards, attach the balancing
weight at the tail near the tail unit.

8. The First Take-Off

Before making initial flight attempts with your "SKY SEDAN", you will have to oil the pressure bearing of the rotor unit.
For this, slightly draw off the rotor forwards and put one drop of oil onto the shaft. Now you can twist the drive rubber
for the first time.
Start with only approx. 50 turns, and turn the rotor clockwise with your finger when viewed from the front. Hold the
model tight and then release the rotor. Repeat this procedure a few times and increase the number of rotations in
steps of ten.
Attention!
If you do not turn the rubber incrementally, it may rip suddenly from overload.
If the rubber is turned extremely strongly, the rotor has sufficient rotating energy right after release to cause
injury. Therefore, remove your hand from the rotor rotational area as quickly as possible at the start.
Once you have reached approx. 150 rotations, you can now let the model fly freely for the first time.
For this, chose a day with low wind and a suitable flight area. Wind up the rubber motor and hold the rotor with one
hand, the model with the other. Check the wind direction. Always start against the wind.
Release the rotor and release the model at once against the wind with a slight push. The model should now rise at a
flat angle. When the drive power drops, it should go down again in a flat angle.
