Step 6
Making Adjustments to the Control Surfaces
1. Any changes necessary to bring both the rudder and elevator
to neutral (zero degrees) when the right transmitter stick
is centered should be possible using the digital trim buttons.
2. If you find this is not the case, do not fly until this has been
corrected.
3. If corrections are needed, you may have to adjust the length
of the pushrod by gently stretching or pinching the bend in the
control wire as necessary. You can also achieve more control by
changing the hole on the control horn that the pushrod goes into.
We suggest you fly it first as it comes from the factory and then
only move “in” one hole at a time.
Step 7
Flying
Choose a Large, Open Flying Site
For first flights, always choose a wide-open space for flying your
ParkZone Vapor. It is ideal for you to fly in an indoor location with a
floor area of 15’ x 15’ and a minimum ceiling height of 8 feet. We
suggest that first flights are done in a larger area, such as in a garage
or basement.
If you choose to make your flights outdoors, the conditions MUST
be COMPLETELY CALM. The Vapor weighs less than 1/2 ounce and
can easily be blown away. If you choose to fly outdoors, remember to
always keep the plane upwind from you to avoid flyaways.
Make certain that you do not fly near trees, buildings, or other areas
that can restrict your view or interfere with your flying.
Step 8
Seek Assistance from an Experienced Radio Control Pilot
VERY IMPORTANT
The 3-channel control system is designed for the experienced radio
control pilot and is not intended for the first-time flier. It is best
to have HobbyZone
®
Zone 2 experience. First-time pilots of the
ParkZone Vapor should seek the assistance of an experienced RC flier
until the additional third channel, pitch control, has been
competently mastered. Crash damage is not covered under the
warranty. It is very important to confirm the ParkZone Vapor is
properly balanced prior to flying.
Note:
Due to the lightweight design of the ParkZone Vapor, it is
highly recommended that the original packaging be used when
storing and transporting the aircraft to prevent damage. Take care
to not leave the Vapor in direct sunlight or stored inside a vehicle on
a warm day. Excessive heat may cause damage to the Vapor’s
film covering.
