Ventura has gained enough speed to level out and re-enter
straight-and-level flight as you apply full power.
Loop:
Loops should always be done into the wind. A
proper loop should be done on-center, in front of the
pilot. Fly straight-and-level under full power. Gradually
pull up elevator, allowing the model to perform the
loop. After the model passes through the top of the loop
reduce power. As the model completes the loop apply
full power and relax the elevator to return the model to
straight-and-level flight.
Minor damage to the wing and tail parts can be repaired
with epoxy. Use tape to hold the parts together while
the epoxy hardens.
Do not attempt to repair a damaged propeller.
Minor
chips or scratches to the tips of the propeller are
acceptable, but performance may be reduced. If the
propeller ever suffers major damage such as cracks near
the base of the blade, the propeller must be replaced. To
replace the propeller use a small Phillips screwdriver to
remove the spinner, then loosen the screws in the hub.
Replace the propeller and hub, tighten the screws, then
replace the spinner. Be certain the spinner and propeller
hub can spin freely and are not contacting the fuselage.
