9. 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 on the flying site. Switch on the transmitter, then the receiver. To check the range, have
someone assist you by securely holding the plane at a height of approx. 1 m and increase the distance slowly. All functions must be perfectly controllable up to
a distance of at least 50 m with the motor running. The transmitter aerial must be completely retracted and the receiver aerial protruding from the elevator unit
must not be coiled up, bent or cut.

b) The first flight

If you have no hard-surface runway for a ground take-off, have someone assist you for the first flight by holding the model under the wing at the bottom of the
fuselage and releasing it straight upwind.
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 in a flat angle. Try to control 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.

c) Turning flight

The aileron is used to initiate a turning flight. Use the control stick for the aileron until the desired declination of the model is achieved. Then quickly put the
aileron control stick back to centre position. Now, the curve can be flown at a constant altitude by gently pulling the elevator control stick.
If the model descends in the curve, you did not pull the elevator control stick sufficiently. If the model ascends in the curve, you pulled the elevator control stick
too hard.
When the model flies in the desired direction, a quick aileron deflection in the opposite direction brings the model back to horizontal position. Put the elevator
back in centre position.
In principle, curves can also be flown only with the rudder and the elevator. If necessary, the aileron can be used additionally. If the aileron is used opposite to the
rudder, you can achieve extremely flat curves with a minimum declination of your model.
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. Do not try to fly too far away in order to be able
to clearly judge the flight attitude at all times.

d) 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.
Aileron:
If the left wing of the model "hangs down", gradually push the aileron trim lever to the right until both wings are on a level with each other when the model is flying
straight. If the right wing of the model "hangs down", carry out the trim correction to the left.
Rudder:
If the model drifts towards the left, push the rudder trim lever gradually towards the right until the model flies straight. If the model drifts towards the right, carry
out a trim correction to the left.
Elevator:
The elevator trim lever should be adjusted so that the model neither ascends nor descends regardless of the motor speed. This is the only way to achieve neutral
control behaviour for future aerobatic manoeuvres.
