d) The first landing

Do not prolong your first flight too long and try to land your model airplane again as soon as possible. This gives you enough time to perform several landing
operations without using up all the fuel.
You should always start and land against the wind. Reduce the motor speed and fly big and flat circles. Do not pull too hard on the elevator in order to reduce the
flying altitude selectively.
Select the last curve before the approach 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 effect 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 or turn off the motor completely, 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 reducing the motor speed
too much or by pulling too hard at the elevator.
Slightly move the elevator shortly before touchdown.
After landing, adjust the linkage rods so that the airplane flies straight and ensure that the trim levers on the transmitter are in central position again. Once you
are able to handle the airplane perfectly, you can try to optimize its flight by shifting the balance point.

11. Maintenance and Care

Check the rudder linkages and the control functions of the servos on your model regularly. All moving parts have to be easily movable, but should not have any
play in their bearings.
Clean the exterior of the casing with a soft and damp cloth only. Never use aggressive cleansing agents or chemical solvents, since this might damage the
surfaces.
Important!
If you have to replace damaged or worn parts, use original replacement parts only.
A spare parts list is available on our website at www.conrad.com in the download section of the product.
You can also order the replacement parts list by phone. For the contact data, please refer to the top of these instructions in the chapter "Introduction".

in the household waste is prohibited. The symbols for dangerous heavy metal constituents are: Cd = cadmium, Hg = mercury, Pb = lead (the names
are indicated on the battery/rechargeable battery e.g. below the rubbish bin symbols shown to the left).

You can return used batteries/rechargeable batteries free of charge to any collecting point in your local community, in our stores or in any other
store where batteries/rechargeable batteries are sold.
You thus fulfil your statutory obligations and contribute to the protection of the environment.
