Flying the Model In

After having checked the centre of gravity, the functioning of the motor as well as the direction of the rudder surface
travel, 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 flying in model planes.
If this is not possible, look for a suitable area to fly in your model and make sure there is only little or no wind.
a) Range Check
Before the first start-up, you should charge the flight battery and an possibly inserted rechargeable batteries in the
transmitter according to the specifications of the manufacturer. First carry out a range check of the remote control on
the flying site. For this, switch on the transmitter first, then the receiver.
Then press the PDM button (see figure 28, item 1) at the top right of your transmitter for about 2 seconds; the green
LED goes out. The transmitter now works at reduced transmission output.
Now check the range by having someone assist you by securely holding the model, and walk away from the model
slowly. Up to a distance of at least 30 – 50 steps, all rudder functions should be controllable easily even with the engine
running.
The transmitter switches back to full transmission output either automatically after 60 seconds or by repeated pressing
of the PDM button .
Important!
Never start your model while the transmitter works at reduced transmission output and the green LED is
not lit!
b) The First Flight
Ask a helper to launch the electric model running at full motor output against the wind with a gentle push.
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, then the model should rise up quickly at 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.
