If you're flying the kite-plane and it seems to always want to turn right or left, or if it pitches up excessively under power or
if it pitches down excessively, you can adjust the kite wing assembly to correct these tendencies as described below.
When trimmed properly, the kite-plane should pitch up at a shallow angle under power and pitch down at a shallow angle
without power. The kite-plane should also fly relatively straight ahead without any control input.

❑
If the kite-plane constantly turns to the left, move the
end of the left-hand wire into hole # 3. Fly the kite-plane
again to double-check the trim. If it's not enough, move the
right-hand wire into hole # 1, too.
❑
If the kite-plane constantly turns to the right, move the
end of the right-hand wire into hole # 3. Fly the kite-plane
again to double-check the trim. If it's not enough, move the
left-hand wire into hole # 1, too.
While you are learning to fly, there comes a time when you might crash. If the crash isn't too bad, most damage can be
repaired quickly and easily. If the damage is beyond repair, spare parts are available for purchase. If the damage is not too
bad, it may be able to be repaired with cyanoacrylate glue (C/A) or 2-part 5 minute epoxy. Minor tears to the kite wing
material can be temporarily fixed, using clear packing tape. To repair a clean break in the plastic parts, follow the
procedures below:
❑
Glue the broken parts together using a thin layer of 5 minute epoxy or C/A glue, following the directions on the glue
bottle. Hold the parts together and in alignment until the glue fully cures.
❑
Apply a strip of clear Scotch
®
tape over the seams to strengthen the joint even more.
