Humidity and temperature must be comfortable (around 50°F-85°F degrees) so that the air is fairly dense. • Your altitude should be less than 3,000-feet above sea level for maximum performance. 2) Pre-Flight Checklist (Perform in order listed) Fully extend transmitter antenna. - Page 9 4) Turning • Once your airplane has reached 50 feet above the ground you are ready to begin turning. You want to keep the model within 100 feet of you at all times. TIP: Beginners Start with large oval circle patterns while learning. Left Turn: Keep the throttle control stick forward. Gently pulse/tap the rudder control stick to the LEFT 1-2 times, allowing the rudder to return to the center. Right Turn: Keep the throttle control stick forward.

5) Landing When you notice the nose of the airplane drop slightly or it is unable to climb, it is time to land. You will still have enough power over the controls to set the airplane up for a landing. • Always land with the airplane nose going into the wind. • Set your plane up to face into the wind by making very gentle shallow turns. • Once you are on the final landing approach and your plane is facing into the wind, gently let the airplane glide to the ground on it’s own. Only use minor controls to keep the wing tips level until the plane touches down. NOTE: as you near the ground, release the throttle completely to prevent the propellor from hitting the ground and possibly breaking. WIND LANDINg FLYINg TIPS • Keep the plane flying out in front of you and don’t let it pass overhead if possible. This can be very disorienting. • Learn to fly oval circle patterns out in front of you in both directions while maintaining altitude, then advance to practicing figure eights. -
