In Flight
Continue to climb into the wind at full throttle, until the aircraft reaches about
50 feet (15 meters). Gradually turn the aircraft away from you while still
maintaining altitude. Begin a turn by banking the aircraft slightly with the
aileron stick. Gently pull back on the elevator stick to pull the aircraft around
the turn and to maintain altitude. When the aircraft reaches the heading
desired, simply apply the opposite aileron to level the wings and ease off the
elevator.
Climb to about 200 feet (60 meters) and reduce the throttle to around 50%.
Adjust the throttle up or down to maintain altitude. Try not to get the aircraft too
high or far away, making it difficult to see.
As you are flying:
• Fly at a high enough altitude to give yourself time to react to what the
aircraft is doing.
• Make small and gentle stick movements to see how the aircraft responds.
• Practice flying in large circles, high off the ground. Flying with the nose
pointed toward you is one of the hardest skills to master when learning to
fly. Flying in circles will give you experience viewing the aircraft from all
angles.
• If you lose orientation of the aircraft, press and hold the Panic Recovery
button and release the sticks. The aircraft will return to level flight. Release
the button to continue your flight.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate throttle cut or quickly lower the
throttle and throttle trim. Failure to do so could result in greater damage to
the airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
Landing
1. Reduce the throttle to around 50% to slow the airspeed.
2. Fly the aircraft downwind past the end of the runway.
3. Turn the aircraft into the wind and line the aircraft up with the
runway center line.
4. Gradually decrease the throttle further to begin descending
towards the runway, keeping the wings level during approach.
Try to have the aircraft at approximately 10 feet (3 meters)
altitude as it passes over the threshold of the runway.
5. As the aircraft passes over the threshold of the runway
decrease the throttle.
6. Just as the aircraft is about to touch down, gently pull back on
the elevator to raise the nose, or flare, for a gentle landing on
the main landing gear. The goal is to be at a low enough speed
so the aircraft will not climb when the landing flare is started.
TIP: If the aircraft bounces back into the air, either increase the
throttle slightly and ease the aircraft gently back down to the
runway, or increase the throttle to full power, climb out and go
around to begin the landing process again.
7. Continue using the rudder stick to steer the aircraft straight
down the runway, allowing the aircraft to roll to a stop.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, activate throttle cut or
quickly lower the throttle and throttle trim. Failure to do
so could result in greater damage to the airframe, as
well as damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.
IMPORTANT: When finished flying, never keep the aircraft
in the sun. Do not store the aircraft in a hot, enclosed area
such as a car. Doing so can damage the foam.
®
When properly trimmed, the aircraft's wing design causes the aircraft to climb
at full throttle and descend at reduced throttle without the use of elevator.
