Flying the Airplane
FAMILIARIzE YOURSELF WITH ALL INSTRUCTIONS BELOW
BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO LAUNCH OR FLY THIS PLANE.
1.
Choose a day when the wind is light. The Ribbon (14) attached to the Antenna (13) should be
blowing slightly (not greater than 30 degrees) and not be blowing straight out. Find a wide-open
field.
2.
Switch the Remote Control (9) “
ON
”, the green
Power LEd
on the remote should illuminate- see
Figure 8
. If the red
Low Battery LEd
illuminates, change the batteries in the remote before
use. Turn the switch on the Fuselage (1) to “
ON
”, also.
3.
Face the Airplane into the wind. Hold the motor control button down so that the motor is running
at full power.
Note: It is recommended that two people work together to hand launch the Airplane. One
should control the Remote Control and one will launch the Airplane.
4.
With the Airplane tilted at about 10 degrees upward, propel and release it into the wind.
5.
Hold the motor control button down until the Airplane climbs to about 100 to 150 feet high.
6.
If the Airplane does not climb smoothly, follow the following steps until the problem is
corrected:
a. If the Airplane rises too slowly or dives, land the plane immediately and adjust the entire
back edge of the Tail Stabilizer (8) up (no more than
1
/
16
” at a time). Adjust the entire back
edge evenly.
b. If the Airplane continually rises then dives, land the plane immediately and adjust the entire
back edge of the Tail Stabilizer (7) down (no more than
1
/
16
” at a time). Adjust the entire
back edge evenly.
7.
Move the direction control stick to the left to steer to the left, and right to steer it right.
8.
If the airplane drifts to the right or left excessively, land the plane and adjust the Tail Fin (8)
accordingly. If the plane drifts right, adjust the Fin to the left (no more than
1
/
16
” at a time). If
the plane drifts left, adjust the Fin to the right (no more than
1
/
16
” at a time).
9.
Note that letting go of the control stick and the button will automatically bring them to a neutral
position. This will cause the Airplane to glide, unpowered.
10.
Normal flight time for one full charge is about ten (10) minutes. If the plane appears to be losing
power or climbs with difficulty, the batteries are low. Land the plane.
11.
When the remote control’s battery begins to reach the end of its power, the red indicator light
will illuminate or blink. When this occurs,
IMMEdIATELY LANd THE AIRPLANE. If the remote
control’s battery is allowed to die completely, the plane will be uncontrolled and may
cause damage to property or SEVERE PERSONAL INJURY.
12.
To bring in the Airplane for landing, release the motor control button and glide the Airplane
down against the wind. If airplane descends too quickly, briefly press the motor control button
to compensate.
