CHOOSING A FLYING FIELD
The flying field you choose is very important and should
be a large, open grass field. There should not be any ve-
hicles, buildings, power lines, trees, large rocks or anything
else that your model can crash into.
Control may be lost
if the airplane is
more than 500 feet
[150 meters] from the
transmitter.

1.
Apply full throttle while facing into the wind. Hold the
plane horizontally and launch straight and level with a
gentle pushing motion.
2.
After launching, reduce power to 50 –75%, use gentle right
stick movements to turn left or right. Use small movements
of the sticks to adjust the climb and direction. (If the battery
is not charged properly, the plane will not climb).
3.
Use the throttle to maintain altitude.
Move the throttle stick down to 0% when crashing
to avoid damage.
TURNING
Once you reach 50 to 75 feet [15 – 20 m] in altitude, you will be able to make a safe turn. Practice making turns both left and
right, adding a small amount of throttle as the turn begins.
1
Enter the turn by
slowly moving
the right stick
about halfway.
2
Once the turn starts, add in
a small amount of throttle to
maintain altitude and help
turn the plane.
3
Use small
movements of the
sticks to control the
turn radius and
altitude.

Continue...
5
To complete the
turn, slowly
release the right
stick and reduce
the throttle.
Move the right
stick slightly to
the left if
necessary to
level the wings.
