Tundra V2 Tips:
●
If flying from a hard surface (tarmac, asphalt, concrete etc) it is recommended that you remove
the spring system from the undercarriage to void excessive bouncing on landings.
●
When flying with floats of water, it is advised to always use at least half flaps on takeoff. Semi
deployed flaps will greatly increase the Tundra's ability to lift off the water surface.
●
When landing on water, always land with a good amount of forward momentum to help achieve
the smoothest water landings possible.
●
Use of water rudder should only be needed when flying from rough water. Generally the
standard rudder alone is sufficient for flying off calmer waters.
●
Due to the added weight of the floats, a 1800mAh 3S would be a more suitable LiPo to use
rather than the heavier 2200mAh 3S used when flying from water. This will keep the overall
wing loading from going up.
●
If you intend to perform STOL style landings often with your Tundra V2, it is suggested you use
the optional tail brace upgrade supplied with most models. This will greatly improve the strength
and rigidity of the tail which will be of great benefit with the higher forces at play with landing
STOL.
●
For optimum flight performance/model longevity, it is highly recommended that you always fly
with a balanced prop. The supplied prop should be balanced, but it’s always good to check first.
●
Keep all leads within the fuselage area as tidy as possible. Tidy wires look better, allow for
easier access to all internal components, better battery installation, increased airflow around
electronics and a reduction in potential electronic signal interference (noise).
●
Do not leave your model in direct sunlight or in a hot car for prolonged periods of time. This will
have an adverse effect on the foam surface of the model.
