5Please Check the direction of wind. The plane should take-off against the wind. With the
throttle stick moved fully to the top, the propeller rotates fast. Then hand launch the
plane into the wind, at a slight upward angle (0-10 degrees). Pull the stick toward you so
that the plane climbs at a 10 to 30 degree angle. Allow the airplane to climb a few
seconds before turning it.
6When the plane is moving away from you, move the aileron control stick to the left,
combined with a small amount of up elevator, your plane will turn left; move the aileron
control stick to the right, your plane will turn right. To stop the turn, move the stick the
opposite direction until the plane is flying level and return the elevator to center.
CAUTION: ONLY A SMALL AMOUNT OF UP ELEVATOR IS NEEDED HERE.
7When the plane is coming toward you, move the aileron control stick to the left. But the
plane flies to your right. That is to say, you have to reverse the way to control ailerons
when the plane flies toward you. Here's a good way for you, you can turn your body when
the plane flies toward you so that you are facing the same direction the plane is flying to;
you can look at the plane over your shoulder. Now when you move the aileron control
stick to left the plane will fly to your left.
8When the plane climbs to a high enough altitude, you can adjust the trim lever to maintain
straight and level flight. When loose the elevator control stick, if the plane tends to nose
up, you can push the elevator trim lever to the direction away from you; if the plane tends
to nose down, you can push the elevator trim lever to the direction towards you. Only a
small amount of adjustment should be OK. If the plane doesn't go as you adjusted, you
can adjust twice or more. Your goal is to get the plane fly level or climb at a very small
angle (like 0-5 degrees) with the elevator, throttle control stick at their neutral positions.
9For beginners, rudder is mainly used for take off and landing. During take off and landing,
it is necessary to control the plane turn to left or right by controlling the rudder, instead of
controlling the aileron. Move the rudder control stick to the left will make the plane turn to
left; move this stick to the right will make the plane turn to right. If the plane tends to turn
with the left stick centered, move the rudder trim lever opposite the direction the plane is
turning.
10With the plane flying level, check to see if the plane is flying straight. Move the aileron
control stick in neutral position, if the plane wants to turn, move the aileron control trim
lever opposite the direction the plane is turning. Then the plane is trimmed OK. If you
take your hands off the sticks, the plane will fly straight and level on its own. Having the
plane trimmed properly makes flying much easier and more enjoyable.
11Don't let the plane get too far away from you. The farther away it is, the harder it is to see
what the airplane is doing. Especially when the battery runs low, you should control the
plane back to you immediately.
12When learning to fly, it is best to keep the plane high enough so that you have enough
altitude to correct it if you make a mistake.
4Make a range check before each flight. Have an assistant hold the plane. With the
antenna folded, walk 100 feet (about 30m) away from the plane and then hold the
transmitter with the antenna pointing up to test the responses of each control surface by
moving the control sticks. Also, turn the motor on and check the range. If you still have
control of the airplane, it is safe to extend the transmitter antenna and fly the plane; if not,
check if there are fresh batteries installed in the transmitter and if the battery in the plane
is charged; also make sure the wire antenna is extending out the back of plane.
