Turning Flight - Reely Wild Hawk 3.0 Bedienungsanleitung

c) Turning flight
Turning flight is initiated with the aileron; the model angles to the side. Once the model has reached the desired lean
angle, the aileron joystick is pushed back to the centre position. The curve can then be flown at a constant altitude by
gently pulling the elevator joystick.
When the model flies in the desired direction, it is realigned horizontally by a brief aileron deflection in the direction
opposite to the direction of the curve and the elevator is also brought back to the centre position.
If the model starts to sink in the curve, you did not pull the elevator joystick strongly enough. If the model starts to rise
in the curve, you pulled the elevator joystick too strongly.
Pushing the aileron joystick insufficiently or for a very short time results in an extensive curve. Pushing the aileron
joystick too hard or for too long results in a very narrow curve and extremely slanted model. In both cases, the aileron
can be used at any time to correct a flight attitude.
The rudder ensures the least possible lean angle when performing flat turns. In this case, the rudder serves to steer
the curve and the aileron to maintain the desired lean angle. Since the model has more lift due to the lower lean angle,
the elevator must be deflected less in the curve. This type of control is useful for gliding without motor power.
Warning!
When flying, always ensure a sufficient flying speed. Pulling the elevator joystick too hard when the mo-
tor power is too low slows down the model drastically such that it can tip over forwards over the tip of the
fuselage or sideways over a wing.
Therefore, ensure you fly at a safe altitude at the beginning until you get used to the control behaviour of the model.
Do not try to fly too far in order to be able to clearly evaluate, at any time, the flight attitude.
When the model has reached a sufficient altitude, reduce the motor power and familiarise yourself with the slow flight
characteristics of your model. You can even turn off the motor to save power. The model can fly and respond to control
commands very well even without motor power.
However, always pay attention to the flight speed and do not slow down the model too much by pulling the elevator
joystick too hard.
If necessary, switch on the motor again and only increase the motor speed until the model flies at a constant altitude.
Reduced power consumption stresses less the flight battery and thus extends the running time of the motor.
