10. Flying in the model

Having checked the centre of gravity, the motor function and the direction of the 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 system 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) must be dragged along in flight and must not be wound up, bent or cut.
b) The first flight
For the first flight, have someone assist you by holding the model by the rudder unit for a ground start or releasing it against the wind at full motor speed for a
hand launch.
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 assembled correctly, the model will quickly ascend in a flat angle after a short running phase and a quick elevator deflection. Try to control the model as little
as possible. Only use control commands to correct the flight attitude if the model 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.
