but generally

S t-S's etc, all vertical man euv s as large as you wish with the 4S set-up.
Flight times vary according to and throttle use. An average flight of mixed
throttle flying will give you approximately -

Before flying make sure you have followed closely the set-up guidelines on page 10, and pages
17-18. Start by taxying on the ground a little to get used to the handling. Be sure to always taxy
with full up elevator, use high rates and gentle use of the throttle. This will keep the model tracking
steady and true plus has the added bonus of looking far more scale. For take off you'll want to
hold in some right rudder to counter the rotational torque on the initial roll out. Slowly advance the
throttle whilst holding in just a little up elevator to keep the tail down as you begin to build up
speed, correcting direction with rudder as needed. As speed builds, ease off the amount of up
elevator you have held in, then as soon as you reach 1/2 to 3/4 throttle you'll start to see the
Gladiator gently lift of the ground.
