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

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.
Aileron:
If the left wing of the model "hangs down", gradually push the trim lever (see fig 2, item 5) 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.
Elevator:
Set the elevator trim lever (see fig. 2, item 3) so that the model rises in a flat angle at full motor speed and maintains the altitude at 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 fig. 2, item 9) gradually towards the right until the model flies straight. If the model drifts towards the
right, carry out a trim correction to the left.

d) The First Landing

Like the first flight, the first landing should always be done against the wind. Reduce the motor speed and fly big and flat circles. Do not pull on the elevator too
hard to reduce the flying altitude slowly.
Select the last curve before the landing approach so that you have sufficient room for landing and the course does not have to be changed significantly when
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.
Especially in this critical flying phase, always ensure sufficient flying speed (see "The first flight - stall") and do not slow down the model too much by reducing
the motor speed too abruptly or pulling the elevator too hard.
It is only shortly before touch-down that the motor is stopped and the model lands with the elevator fully pulled.
