Landing Your Cosmic Flyer; Helpful Hints - MegaTech Cosmic Flyer Flight Manual

Landing Your Cosmic Flyer

When piloted properly, your Cosmic Flyer should glide gracefully When piloted properly, your Cosmic Flyer should glide gracefully
in for a landing and slide gently to a stop.
• Always try to land into the wind, keeping the wingtips as level as
possible.
• Set up for a landing by making a gentle, shallow turn to face the
airplane into the wind.
• When the airplane is level and facing into the wind, release both
control sticks and the plane will descend to the ground.
• If slight corrections are needed as the airplane makes its way to the
ground, move the right control stick in the appropriate direction,
but only for a moment, so as to keep the airplane descending on a
straight heading. Over-steering will put the airplane into another
turn, which could make it crash if you are too close to the ground.
Keep the Cosmic Flyer fl ying straight until it lands safely.
• Flight time is about 10-15 minutes. When the power on the plane • Flight time is about 10-15 minutes. When the power on the plane
is low, the motor will shut off, however, the servos will still work,
so you can land the plane. Land the plane as soon as possible when
the power runs out.
• Bring several extra batteries with you for longer fl ying time.
• 8 AA alkaline or NiMH batteries are recommended.
• Check the direction and speed of the wind before you begin to fl y.
The Wind Indicator Ribbon will point in the direction the wind is
blowing.
• If the plane drifts right while fl ying, move the rudder trim tab
(located under the right control stick) to the left to correct the
problem. If the plane drifts left, move the rudder trim tab to the
right.
• Check the power light on the transmitter often during a fl ight. If the
green light becomes dark or goes out, land the plane as soon as
possible to avoid losing control. Then change the batteries in the
transmitter.
• Always stay far away from trees, buildings and elevated land.
Unexpected air currents can quickly alter your Cosmic Flyer's
course and possibly lead to an accident.
• Always keep the plane in front of you. Never fl y your Cosmic
Flyer directly overhead, as it is easy to lose your sense of direction.
• If the main wing on your Cosmic Flyer becomes damaged, simply
apply clear packing tape to the affected area.
