Flying The Model; Range Test; First Take-Off - Reely Wild Hawk 3.0 Bedienungsanleitung

15. Flying the model

However, we recommend you contact an experienced model aircraft pilot or a model construction club in your area if
you are not sure about how to fly a model aircraft.
If this is not possible, wait for a relatively windless day and look for a suitable flight location. A minimum distance of
150 m from industrial, commercial, residential and recreational areas must be maintained.
a) Range test
Always ensure the flight battery has been charged according to the manufacturer's instructions before the first take-
off. Also use a battery tester to check the status of the transmitter batteries.
First carry out a range test of the remote control on the flight location. Switch on the transmitter, and then turn on the
receiver. Ask an assistant securely to hold the model as you check the range by slowly moving away from the model.
Even with the motor running, all rudder functions should be reliably controllable up to a distance of at least 100 m.
Also be sure to check the correct function and the running direction of the rudders.
If the model flies beyond the remote control's transmission range, thereby interrupting data transmission
from the transmitter to the model, the motor will automatically switch off. The rudders will then remain in the
position last set with the remote control.
The running time of the motor depends on the required performance and can be up to 8 minutes in an energy-saving
flight mode. Uninterrupted flying at maximum motor power significantly reduces the usable running time of the motor.
The flight controller automatically switches off the motor when the battery voltage is too low in order to prevent the risk
of deep discharge of the flight battery. However, the receiver and servos are still supplied with power.
If necessary, you can switch on the motor briefly with reduced power in order to perform forced landing.
b) First take-off
Ask a helper to launch the electric model with a gentle push against the wind. The motor should work at approx. 75%
of its power.
Our tip:
In order to be able to identify the flight attitude of your model, you should stand at a little distance behind
your assistant and look exactly in the flying direction of the launched model.
If assembled correctly, the model will ascend at a shallow angle, whereby the angle of climb can be affected by the el-
evator and motor power. Do not attempt to steer it more than necessary. Only adjust the controls if the model changes
its altitude, flies in a curve, ascends too rapidly or if the nose points downwards.
To sensitively correct the flight attitude and to carry out specific changes of direction in normal flight attitude,
short and limited movements of the joysticks on the transmitter are sufficient.
