E) Setting The Rudder Deflections; Flying In The Model; A) Range Check; B) The First Flight - Reely PC9 ARF Montageanleitung

e) Setting the rudder deflections

If correctly assembled and if the transmitter settings are made properly, the rudders should show the following deflection values (measured at the rear edge):
Aileron 8 mm upwards
Elevator 15 mm upwards
Side rudder 15 mm to the left
Caution!
These values represent the upper and lower limits of the rudder deflections. Adjust the deflections individually to suit your personal preferences.

10. Flying in the model

Having checked the centre of gravity, the motor function and the direction of the rudder deflections, your model is ready for its first flight. We recommend
contacting an experienced model plane pilot or a model making club in your area if you are not familiar with test-flying model planes.

a) Range check

Before the first use, the flight battery and rechargeable batteries in the transmitter (if rechargeable batteries are used) have to be charged as instructed by the
manufacturer. First carry out a range check of the remote control on the flying site. Switch on the transmitter, then the receiver. Check the range according to the
operating instructions of your remote control. The transmitter aerial of 35/40 MHz remote controls must be completely retracted and the receiver aerial protruding
from the end of the fuselage (with 35/40 MHz remote controls) is dragged along in flight and must not be wound up, bent or cut.

b) The first flight

Have someone assist you for the first start by holding the electric model behind the trailing edge of the wing at the bottom of the fuselage and releasing it upwind
in a flat angle.
Our tip: In order to be able to distinctly see the flight attitude of your model, you should stand at a short distance behind the person assisting you and look into
the flight direction of the starting model.
If the assembly was carried out correctly, the model should ascend speedily at a flat angle. Try to steer the model as little as possible. Only steer the model if it
changes the flight attitude by itself and e.g. flies a curve, ascends too high or is about to nose-dive. To sensitively correct the flight attitude and to carry out
specific changes of direction in normal flight attitude, short and limited movements of the control stick on the transmitter are sufficient.
Caution!
Always make sure the model plane flies at sufficient speed. Pulling the elevator control stick too far causes the model to slow down. It can turn over
laterally.
Therefore, start flying at a sufficient safety altitude in order to get used to the steering characteristics of the model. To ensure a problem-free first landing, first
practice repeatedly at a sufficient safety altitude - with head wind as well as with tail wind - reducing the speed (reduce motor speed) and at the same time
maintaining the altitude or stalling. A stall is an uncontrollable flying condition due to insufficient airflow which causes the plane to tilt to the side. The stall is the
minimum flight speed (with head wind or tail wind) at which the model can still be controlled due to still sufficient airflow at the wings. Being familiar with this
borderline situation is of value when choosing the landing speed. Do not try to fly too far away in order to be able to clearly judge the flight attitude at all times.

c) Trimming the model

If, in straight flight, your model shows the tendency to drift to one direction, correct the neutral position of the corresponding rudder via the trim.
Fly some rounds at a safe height to get used to the steering characteristics of the model.
Caution!
Due to its compact design, you should not let the model fly away too far and also make sure it flies at sufficient speed.
