Trimming the Aircraft

Manually Adjusting Trim
It is recommend that the SAFE flight mode switch is set to Experienced mode
(position 2) before manually adjusting trim.
Perform manual adjustment of trim before increasing the throttle above 25% or
the control surfaces will move when the aircraft is moved.
Return any trim setting on the transmitter to neutral by pushing the trim slider
to the middle position, then adjusting the clevis on that control surface to
position it the same as it was with the trim slider offset.
1. Remove the clevis from the control horn.
2. Turn the clevis (as shown) to lengthen or shorten the pushrod.
3. Close the clevis onto the control horn and slide the tube towards the horn to
secure the clevis.
Adjusting Trim in flight
If your aircraft does not fly straight and level at half throttle with the sticks at
center, fly into the wind and adjust the aircrafts trim by moving the digital trim
buttons.
IMPORTANT: All trimming and Control test should be performed when in
Experienced Mode.

Choose a Flying Field

In order to have the most success and to protect your property and aircraft, it is
very important to select a place to fly that is very open. Consult local laws and
ordinances before choosing a location to fly your aircraft.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 600 feet (183m) of clear space in all
directions.
• Stay clear of pedestrians.
• Stay free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or anything that could
entangle your aircraft or interfere with your line of sight.
Remember, your aircraft can reach significant speeds when flying and can
cover ground quickly. Plan on flying in an area that gives you more space than
you think you need, especially with first flights.
