12. Flying the model

After having checked the functioning of the motor as well as the direction of the rudder surface travel, your model is
ready for its first flight. However, we recommend you contact an experienced model airplane pilot or a model construction
club in your area if you are not sure as how to fly an airplane model.
If this is not possible, look for a suitable flight terrain and wait for a day with little wind.
a) Testing the Range
Before the first start-up, you should charge the flight battery and an eventually inserted transmitter-rechargeable
battery according to the specifications of the manufacturer.
First carry out a range test of the remote control on the flying site. Put the transmitter into operation first then the
receiver. Ask an assistant to hold the model and check the range by moving slowly away from the model airplane.
Up to a distance of at least 100 m all rudder functions should be controllable even with running motors. The transmitter
antenna must be extended all the way, and the receiver antenna, which protrudes from the end of the fuselage and is
simply dragged along in flight, must not be wound up, turned over or cut off.
b) The First Start
If no hard runway is available for starting from the ground, ask an assistant to launch the electric model in a straight line
forward or slightly upward against the wind with a gentle push at full motor speed.
Our tip:
In order to be able to identify the flight attitude of your model, you should stand at a little distance behind
your assistant and look exactly in the flying direction of the launched model.
If the assembly was carried out correctly, then the model should rise up quickly at a flat angle. Do not attempt to steer
it more than necessary.
It is only when the model modifies the flight attitude automatically and e.g. flies a curve, rises too high or wants to
plunge, that you can start correcting the flight attitude via the necessary steering commands.
For a sensitive correction of the flight attitude and for selective direction modifications of the normal flight attitude, only
few or momentary control stick movements at the transmitter are necessary.
