Flying tips:
During take off head the model directly into the wind, hold in full up elevator and apply the throttle gently
to around 50%. Make sure you keep the planes three wheels on the ground until you have good direction-
al control on the rudder, keep it straight down the runway. Slowly bring the power up to 70-80% and
release some of the elevator, the tail wheel will lift off gently from the ground followed by the model taking
off. Keep flying it straight in a shallow climb to get more airspeed and climb to a safe altitude. You can ease
the throttle back a bit when at a safe altitude and fly into a rectangular flight path and trim out the plane as
necessary until it flies straight and level. If you have trimmed it properly, you are able to fly the Pitts S-2B
dead straight with your hands off!
Flying aerobatics is what this R/C Pitts S-2B shines at, it can perform all the scale like aerobatics in the
book and we are sure that you will have a grin on your face on your first flight and every flight after that.
Landing the Pitts is always uneventful. Line it up to the runway and keep the throttle at about a quarter until
it is 3-4 feet above the runway, Then slowly decrease the throttle and slightly ease in some up elevator to
pitch the nose up a bit and flare for a 3 point touch down.
