Adjusting the Climb Rate
If your Firebird Freedom
™
does not climb
fast enough when at full throttle and with a
full charged battery pack, you can adjust the
climb rate by:
1. Tightening the front screw one full turn
and loosening the back screw one full
turn.
2. Test flying.
3. Repeat the above procedure until your
plane climbs adequately under full power.

If your Firebird Freedom climbs too fast at
full throttle by climbing at a steep angle,
stalling and keeps repeating climbing sharp-
ly and stalling, do the following:
1. Loosen the front tail screw one full turn
and tighten the back tail screw one full
turn.
2. Test fly.
3. Repeat the above procedure, if necessary,
until your Firebird Freedom climbs at a
steady rate.
Aerobatic Flight
25
Your Firebird Freedom
™
comes out of
the box with the controls set for begin-
ning pilots, with the pushrod attached in
the outer holes of the control surfaces. By
adjusting the pushrods so they are attached
in the holes on the tail that are closer to the
control surfaces, you will give your Firebird
Freedom more control response for more
aerobatic maneuvers, such as loops and tail
slides.
CAUTION: This should not be done until
you have gained more experience at flying
and have flown for some time successfully
with the ACT
™
software turned off.
