First Flight; Post Flight - LiteHawk XXL II Instruction Manual

LiteHawk XXL II - First Flight
If you've never flown then the first thing you need to learn is throttle control. Slowly and
carefully ramp up the throttle until the model starts to lift off, then as soon as the model
leaves the ground, ease off the throttle gently and let it settle back down. If the hardware
is working correctly the model should remain fairly level, and shouldn't drift too far. Repeat
this process, lift off gently and then land again, until you have a good feel for how much
throttle is required to keep the model in the air. Try keeping it in the air a little longer -
don't worry about pitch or yaw and - all we care about right now is that the model stays at
a steady height. Don't go more than a meter off the ground. If the model drifts too far,
ease off the throttle and land it.
Once you are able to hold the model at a steady height, try moving the right stick gently
to start controlling the model's direction. If the XXL II moves left, move the stick slightly
to the right. If it starts moving towards you, push the stick up slightly. Get the feel for how
the XXL II moves around while using the right stick. Remember, if at any point the XXL II
moves out of position, especially if it starts coming towards you, cut the throttle immedi-
ately. Repeat this process until you are comfortable with how the right stick controls the
XXL II.
