FLYING DV8R
The DV8R is truly one of the smoothest jets you may ever fly. It has no bad manners and
performs like a very large pattern model. If you set your model up as mentioned
previously you will have no problems on your first flight.
For your first flight, pick a day when you are comfortable with the surroundings and
conditions. Line up on the runway; hold the brakes if you have them and apply full
power. At the same time hold back 50% elevator and the model will fly off when ready.
Don’t worry; it will not leap off the ground before it is ready. Establish a climb angle at
fly to a comfortable altitude.
As you might expect ground handling and tracking is great with the DV8R. Make
sure that the steering is not overly effective and you will have no problems during
rollout.
The prototype weighs 24.5 pounds without fuel. With a JetCat P-80 the model
needs about 100 feet of pavement or Grass to get airborne when max-Performed
and can be taken off easily within 200 feet.
You can use 1
st
position flap on take off, anymore is only increasing drag.
When properly trimmed, the model will exhibit no tendency to “leap” of the
ground or be pitch sensitive.
Make a few laps to get used to the model and get it trimmed.
I want to thank you for choosing this model. I think you will enjoy it as much as I
have. If you have any questions or technical problems I will be more than happy to assist
you as best I can. I look forward to seeing you at the field. Good Luck.
