thereafter fly over pit or spectator areas, unless

The Spectrum is a great flying sport airplane that
flies smoothly and predictably, yet is highly
maneuverable. It does not have the self-recovery
characteristics of a primary trainer, and therefore
you must either have mastered the basics of R/C
flying or seek the assistance of a competent R/C
pilot to help you with your first flights.
Takeoff
If you have dual rates on your transmitter, set the
switches to “high rate” for takeoff, especially when
taking off in a crosswind. Although the Spectrum
has great low speed characteristics, you should
always build up as much speed as your runway will
permit before lifting off, as this will give you a
safety margin in case of a “flame-out.”
Flying
We recommend that you take it easy with your
Spectrum for the first several flights and gradually
“get acquainted” with this fantastic ship as your
engine gets fully broken-in. Add and practice one
maneuver at a time, learning how she behaves in
each one. For ultra-smooth flying and normal
maneuvers, we recommend using the “low rate”
settings as listed on page 24. “High rate” elevator
and rudder may be required for crisp snap rolls and
spins.
Speed is the key to good knife-
edge performance.
Landing
When it’s time to land, make your approach low
and shallow, as this ship wants to just keep on
flying. If you find that it lands a little fast, you might
try dialing in a few clicks of up elevator when you
cut the throttle on the downwind leg of the landing
approach. This will automatically help to bleed off
some of the speed. If your Spectrum is assembled
straight and true, you’ll find that you can really flare
it out for slow, nose-high, full-stall landings without
fear of tip stalling.
Have a ball! But always stay in control and fly
in a safe manner.

centerline, so it handles very much like a single-
