SECTION 5: FIRST FLIGHT
BEFORE THE TEST FLIGHT
On completion of the model take time to test the
model in the workshop.
Switch on the transmitter, connect the battery and
double check that all surfaces operate in the correct
manner without stalled servos.
Check for adequate range with and without motor
running.
If everything is okay, take it to the flying field and
rig it up again.
Always follow the frequency control procedures of
your local flying site and ensure that you have
adequate third party insurance cover.
Repeat the full pre flight inspection before flying.
FLYING
The Mirage 2000 is capable of 5 to 10 minute flight
times and can R.O.G (Rise Off Ground) from smooth
metalled runways. A hand launch will be required If
flying from grass. It is aerobatic and able to
perform loops and rolls.
Due to its light weight it should not be flown in wind
greater than 10mph.
WARNING:
Do not advance the throttle unless the model is
restrained. With the powerful motor-fan
combination, the model will accelerate across a
smooth surface very quickly.
