Flying Your Cosmic Flyer

• Always fl y your airplane in a wide open area, free from wires,
trees and other obstructions. For your fi rst fl ight, pick a day
with little or no wind. Never fl y in heavy winds or rainy weather.
• Fully extend your antenna and turn the transmitter on. Then install
the fl ight pack. Make sure both lights on your transmitter are lit.
Note: If the green light ever goes dark, your transmitter batteries
are low. You should land your plane and change them right away.
• Make sure the transmitter antenna is fully extended for maximum
radio link. Attach the Wind Indicator Ribbon to the end of your
transmitter antenna to determine the direction of the wind.
Always launch your airplane into the wind.
• Hold your plane in one hand, keeping clear of the propeller. Next
press the red Start Button on the side of the fuselage and push the
left control stick completely forward. Gently toss the plane into the
wind, level with the horizon. If the plane is tilted upward or
downward, your launch may not be successful.
• Allow the plane to climb to a safe altitude (50-75 feet) before attempting • Allow the plane to climb to a safe altitude (50-75 feet) before attempting • Allow the plane to climb to a safe altitude (50-75 feet) before attempting • Allow the plane to climb to a safe altitude (50-75 feet) before attempting
turns. You do not want the airplane to get too far away from you, so once
it is at a safe altitude, move the right control stick gently in the direction
you wish to turn. Once it has turned toward the direction you want, release
the right control stick.
• If you begin to gain too much altitude, release the left control stick and let
the Cosmic Flyer glide to a more comfortable level. When the plane gets
too low to the ground, add motor thrust by pushing the left control stick
forward.
Important Tip! When the airplane is coming toward you, the controls are
reversed (moving the stick left will make the plane turn to your right). This
is an important characteristic to get used to. Try to imagine you are actually
sitting in the airplane's cockpit. This will help you.
• Do not panic if you see the plane begin to spin or make erratic
movement. Simply release both control sticks and the Cosmic Flyer's
Self-Righting Mechanism will kick in. Within a few seconds, you will
return to a steady glide.
