Flight Control
IMPORTANT: Even though SAFE technology is a very helpful tool, the aircraft
still needs to be flown manually. If incorrect input is given at lower altitudes
or at slower speeds, the aircraft can crash. Study these control inputs and
the aircraft response to each carefully before attempting your first flight. For
first flights, set the SAFE flight mode switch to Beginner Mode (position 0).
For smooth control of your aircraft, always make small corrections. All
directions are described as if you were sitting in the aircraft.
Throttle, Faster or Slower
• Push the throttle stick forward to make the aircraft go faster and climb.
• Pull the throttle stick back to slow down and descend.
Elevator Up and Down
• Pull the elevator stick back to make the nose of the aircraft go up.
• Push the elevator stick forward to make the nose of the aircraft go down.
Aileron Right and Left
• Move the aileron stick right to make the aircraft roll or bank right.
• Move the aileron stick left to make the aircraft roll or bank left.
TIP: Always picture yourself in the aircraft when determining which way to
bank the aircraft wings.
• When the aircraft is flying away from you, banking the aircraft right or left
appears normal.
• When flying toward you, the aircraft will appear to bank the opposite
direction to the control input given. This will become more instinctual with
experience.
TIP: When flying toward yourself, if one of the wings drops, move the aileron
stick toward the low wing to level the aircraft.
Rudder Right and Left
• Push the rudder stick right to yaw the aircraft nose to the right.
• Push the rudder stick left to yaw the aircraft nose to the left.
The rudder stick is also used to steer the aircraft left and right while taxiing on
the ground.
TIP: Similar to aileron control, picture yourself in the aircraft to determine
which direction to point the nose whether you are flying away from yourself
or toward yourself.
