Correct
The model should be thrown as horizontal as
possible to achieve an easily controllable attitude.
If it is thrown downwards it becomes faster and
may be difficult to level up before it hits the ground.

LANDING

As soon as you realise that there is a decrease in
motor performance you should prepare for landing.
Ensure that you have enough reserve to correct a
wrong landing attempt and to commence a new
approach. An ideal landing should be performed as
follows:
- Fly with a tail wind some distance parallel to
the runway.
- If a suitable height and distance to the runway
is reached turn in a 180° curve in the direction
of the runway; now against the wind.

successfully you should immediately
disconnect the LiPo battery. Then
switch off the transmitter. If another
modeller would like to use your
frequency advise them that your
transmitter is now off. You must not
use your transmitter again until you
have ensured that your frequency is
not being used by somebody else.
If you do not intend to use the radio
control unit for several weeks, you
should remove the batteries from the
transmitter. For information relating to
the flying battery please refer to the
manufacturer's instructions and follow
the recommended advice.

steep upward
If the throw is directed steeply upward the flight
speed diminishes and the ensuing breaking away
from the airflow (no more lifting forces) is likely to
result in a crash. Always try to launch into the wind.
- Straighten the model to the runway and let it
descend by reducing motor speed.
- On approach to the landing point, lift the
elevator slightly and control speed with the
power of the motor. Insufficient speed may
cause the plane to crash.
- Reduce the throttle a little and let the model
glide.
- Just before touchdown, pull back the throttle
stick fully and allow the model to land.
- If the approach is too high increase motor
speed and gain height for a new approach.
