4、Just before landing, at about 0.3m above the ground, apply a little up elevator to make
the plane nose up (not to make it climb). This will cause the plane to slow and settle to
the ground. When the plane is sliding on the ground, you can control the plane to run
straightly by moving the rudder control stick till it stops. Please don't force it to stop by
your body or anything else.
COUTION: Just before the plane touching down, pull the throttle control stick to its lowest
position. Because after landing, the propeller cannot rotate with the throttle in the run
position. Immediately move the throttle stick down to stop the motor. If you fail to do this,
the propeller will be damaged because of hard landing. And the motor, speed control or
the battery will become very hot and be dangerous.
AFTER THE FLIGHT
Unplug the battery with the plane and switch off the transmitter. Allow enough time for
the motor and battery to cool before recharging. Check the plane carefully and make sure
no parts have gotten loose or damaged.
LANDING
It's time to land the plane now. The problems you are facing are where and how to land it.
1、For the sake of safety, you should land the plane before the battery exhausted if you are
a beginner. The power system of Cessna 182 comes with “Auto Cut Off” feature which
reserves battery power for safe landing.
2、During the first flight, while at a high altitude, turn the motor off and retract the flaps
(move it at position “1” or “2”), Then notice how the plane reacts. This will give you an
idea of how the plane will react during a landing.
3、To land the Cessna 182, fly down wind, past the landing area. Gently turn into the wind
and reduce the speed so that the plane starts to come down. Adjust the throttle when
needed to reach the landing area, but not fly past it. Get the plane 1m or 2m above the
ground when it is closed to the landing area.
