Assembly & Operation Manual

First Flight Profile

Make the first flight with the gyro "off". See also BVM article "Gyro Sense".

Flight Time

The BVM demo model's transmitter timer is set for 6 minutes. On the first flight, land a
couple minutes early to check battery consumption. Adjust the flight timer accordingly.

Taxi Test/Engine Run Up

A taxi test should include a radio range check with the engine running at various power
levels. Check that the wheel brakes are adequate and the stopping action is without
skidding or pulling left or right.

Takeoff

Begin the takeoff roll by slowly advancing the throttle. Maintain runway center while
holding about 1/2 stick up elevator; the Bandit Evo will rotate when it is ready. If there is a
cross wind, hold a small amount of aileron into the wind, be prepared with opposite rudder.

Trim

Once in the air, find a medium cruise speed to set the trims. The aircraft should fly straight
and level "hands off". When the landing gear come down, a few clicks of trim may be
needed. This can be mixed in, or use flight modes to trim automatically.

Landing

The landing is like most jets, "power on" during the approach. The Bandit Evo does not
stall easily, it is best to land nose high, touching on the main wheels first.
The majority of the first flight should be spent trimming and practicing for the first landing.
Save the aerobatics and air show stuff for later flights.

RX Battery Consumption

The average flight consumes 300 mAh. We recommend two flights and recharge. Use this
data to calculate how many flights you can achieve from your system.
