We recommend the use of a long runway for first flights, particularly if this is the first EDF
model you have flown. The Mini Xcalibur E a good practical sized model with a matching sporty
performance. Due to the nature of EDF power it can take a longer than you may expect to build take
off speed, especially on grass, but once airborne speed builds quickly. Extra room to takeoff makes
the early flights much safer and more enjoyable.
Make sure that you carry out a thorough range check before flying, perform this both with the EDF
running and stopped. Check for any radio interference caused by the power unit throughout the
rpm range. Check all of the controls, ensuring that they operate in the correct direction and with
the correct movements, and that there is no slop or lost motion in any of the linkages. Check that all
clevises and ball joints are securely fastened. Any clevises being used must have keepers fitted for
added security. Finally check the retracts to make sure they are operating correctly. Depending on
your battery and power unit the flight time may vary dramatically so use this opportunity to time the
power duration before you fly. You can then set a timer shorter than this in your transmitter to alert
you so that so you do not run short of power.
Once happy, recharge the flight battery so you take off with the most power available. Whilst you
can taxi the model out to the runway we advise carrying it and saving the power for the flight. If
the nose wheel is correctly trimmed then no rudder application should be required during the early
stages of the take off run unless taking off crosswind, and once at flying speed a small amount of up
