9.8.1 Flight practice for the beginner
(1) Matters needing attention
(1.1) Beginners should be supervised and guided by skilled pilots when learning.
(1.2) For the sake of safety, people should keep at least 5 meters away from the UFO during practice.
(1.3) Choose a spacious open ground without people and obstacles as the flight practice field.
(2) Steps
(2.1) Practicing throttle control - stationary flight
Start by standing directly behind the UFO, tail closest to you and head/nose pointing away.Practice taking off
from the ground and then by slowly pulling down on the throttle stick, land it softly and horizontally. Repeat this
step until the throttle can be finely and carefully controlled.
When hovering,the tail rotor counteracts torque but also pushes UFO to the left. Don't forget to counteract this
effect using cyclic stick to the right and take off slightly inclined. It is important to hover vertically, stabilize UFO
at 1.5m height and then land it.
Mode 1 Mode 2
(2.2) Practice of aileron and elevator control
Mode 1 Mode 2
First increase throttle and enter a stable hover as practiced in the previous section. Next, use the elevator and
aileron sticks to purposely fly the UFO in a 'cross pattern' forwards, backwards, to the left and to the right. In
between each direction, return to hover over the take off point. Continue to repeat this step until it can be completed
with ease.
(2.3) Practicing rudder control
Mode 1 Mode 2
Enter a stable hover as practiced in step one, then practice rotating the head of the UFO to face left then back
to face right and back to face forwards (away from the pilot). Start with a rotation angle of 30 degrees or less
and gradually increase it as you become more comfortable and more experienced.
(2.4) Practicing circular flight
After mastering steps (2.1) to (2.3) with ease, please draw or mark a large circle on the ground. Fly your UFO
along this circular track until the flight is smooth and controlled.
You may wish to stand inside the circle at first to practice circular flight before needing to control the nose in
orientation.Fly circles in both directions and at a constant altitude to be comfortable with this step.
