Before flying the model
Monitor your flight time
Monitor and limit your flight time using a timer (such as on a wristwatch or in your transmitter if available). When the
batteries are getting low you will usually notice a performance drop before the ESC cuts off motor power, so when the plane starts
flying slower you should land. Often (but not always) power can be briefly restored after the motor cuts off by holding the throttle stick
all the way down for a few seconds.
To avoid an unexpected dead-stick landing on your first flight, set your timer to a conservative 4 minutes. When your alarm sounds
you should land right away.
Flying course
Take off
While applying power, slowly steer to keep the model straight.The model should accelerate quickly.
As the model gains flightspeed you will want to climb at a steady and even rate. It will climb out at a nice angle of attack (AOA).
Flying
Always choose a wide-open space for flying your plane. It is ideal for you to fly at a sanctioned flying field. If you are not
flying at an approved site always avoid flying near houses, trees, wires and buildings. You should also be careful to avoid flying in
areas where there are many people, such as busy parks, schoolyards, or soccer fields. Consult laws and ordinances before
choosing a location to fly your aircraft. After takeoff, gain some altitude. Climb to a safe height before trying technical manoeuvres,
including high speed passes, inverted flight, loops, and point rolls.
Maintenance
Repairs to the foam should be made with foam safe adhesives such as hot glue, foam safe CA, and 5min epoxy. When parts are
not repairable, see the Spare Parts List for ordering by item number.
Always check to make sure all screws on the aircraft are tightened. Pay special attention to make sure the spinner is firmly in place
before every flight.
Landing
Land the model when you hear the motor pulsing (LVC) or if you notice a reduction in power. If using a transmitter with a timer, set
the timer so you have enough flight time to make several landing approaches.
The model's three point landing gear allows the model to land on hard surfaces. Align model directly into the wind and fly down to
the ground. Fly the airplane down to the ground using 1/4-1/3 throttle to keep enough energy for proper flare. Before the model
touches down, always fully decrease the throttle to avoid damaging the propeller or other components. The key to a great landing is
to manage the power and elevator all the way to the ground and set down lightly on the main landing gear. After a few flights you
will find the model can be set downlightlyon the mains and you can hold the nose wheel off balancing themodel on the mains until it
slows and gently settles the nose.
