Global Ultimate - Flying

o4) By moving the position of the clevis at
the control horn toward the outermost hole, you
will decrease the amount of throw of that con-
trol surface. Moving the clevis toward the con-
trol surface will increase the amount of throw.
The Ultimate is designed for those pilots who
are experienced in flying sport models. It is
in no way a trainer. If you do not feel com-
fortable that you are able to test fly the air-
plane don't hesitate to ask someone for some
help getting it tested and trimmed out. Typi-
cally aerobatic airplanes, such as the Ultimate,
require some different flying techniques that
you might not be familiar with. It is very im-
portant to let the airplane get up to flying speed
before lifting off. Pulling the plane off the
ground too fast will cause the airplane to stall
and crash. You should allow the plane to roll
out until the tail is completely off the ground
and flying. Allow the airplane to roll out about
50 feet more and gently pull it off the ground
and into a shallow climb out.
In the air, the plane flies like any other sport
aerobatic plane. Loops, rolls, low passes and
most all other maneuvers are all possible.
Because of the sometimes excessive control
throws used for aerobatics you must be aware
of high speed stalling. This is when the air-
plane is at full power and too much up eleva-
tor is input at once. It causes the airplane to
snap. To prevent this, make sure the elevator
is set up to our recommended test flying and
sport flying settings. When set up to aero-
batic settings, be gentle on the elevator.
When it is time to land always bring the air-
plane in with a small amount of power. It is
not a good habit to just chop the throttle and
dive the airplane to the ground. Just like the
real airplanes, gradually reduce power along
with altitude and speed. When you are about
2-3 feet off the ground, reduce power to idle
and gently let the airplane settle onto the run-
way. Be careful not to over control.
