Trimming The Model; D) The First Landing - Reely Phönix Bedienungsanleitung

c) Trimming the Model
If your model tends to drift to one direction in straight flight, correct the neutral position of the corresponding rudder by trimming.
Aileron:
If the left wing of the model "hangs down", gradually push the trim lever (see figure 2, item 5) to the right until both wings are in line when the model is flying
straight ahead. If the right wing of the model "hangs down", carry out the trim correction to the left.
Elevator:
Set the trim lever for the elevator (see figure 2, Item 3) in such a way that the model rises in a flat angle at full motor speed and that it flies at a constant altitude
at a reduced motor speed.
After landing, you may re-adjust the aileron and the elevator linkage so that the model flies straight and the trim levers on the transmitter are in centre position
again.
Rudder:
If the model drifts towards the left, push the trim lever (see figure 2, item 9) step by step towards the right until the model flies in a straight line. If the model drifts
towards the right, effect a trim correction towards the left.

d) The First Landing

You should always start and land against the wind. Reduce the motor speed and fly in wide and flat circles. Do not pull on the elevator too hard to reduce the
flying altitude slowly.
Select the last curve before approaching for a landing so that, in case of an emergency, you would have sufficient room for landing and so that you would not
have to make any considerable corrections to the course during the approach for a landing. When the model is flying along the planned landing line, reduce the
motor speed further and keep the model in a horizontal position using the elevator. The model should continue to descend and fly towards the planned touch
down point at the end of the imaginary landing line.
In this critical flying phase, ensure sufficient flying speed (see chapter "First start - stalling behaviour") and do not slow down the model while reducing the motor
speed too much or by pulling too hard at the elevator.
It is only shortly before the touch-down that you should stop the motor and land the model with fully drawn elevator.
