Takeoff

Hand Launch

Hand launch in Beginner mode for first flights. 
Get help to hand launch your aircraft so you 
can concentrate on flying. If you must hand 
launch the aircraft alone, hold the model in your 
dominant hand and the transmitter in your other 
hand. An optional neck strap (SPMP610, sold 
separately) can help you hold the transmitter.

 

Easy Launching

Launching is easier in Beginner mode if you 
hold the Panic Recovery button. Press and 
hold the button, then increase the throttle to 
100%. Launch the aircraft. When the aircraft 
is up where you want to fly, release the 
button and decrease the throttle to 50–60%.

 

Ground Launch

Install the landing gear as shown.

Use the Beginner mode for takeoff in first flights. 
If the ground is not hard and level, get help to 
hand launch your aircraft.
