Getting Ready to Fly
Step 1: Choosing Your Flying Field
The flying field you choose should be a large, open field with grass. There should not be any vehicles, buildings,
power lines, trees, large rocks - or anything else for your Sky Wizard to crash into. Until you are very proficient with the
Sky Wizard, we don't recommend taking off or landing from hard surfaces like asphalt or concrete.
Step 2: Choosing a Day to Fly
Until you become a proficient flyer you should always plan on flying your Sky Wizard when there's no wind. We
strongly suggest waiting for a calm day. Do not fly in more than a 5 m.p.h. wind.

Tie the red flag to the end of the transmitter's antenna.
Hold the transmitter up at an angle. If the flag hangs
down, go ahead and fly.
If the flag hangs at a 45º angle or more, don't fly.
