when the aircraft is fl ying toward you. Turning with the plane and
always facing the same direction will greatly help you learn how to
fl y in a shorter period of time.
During the fi rst fl ight, execute gentle climbing circles in front of you.
Keeping the aircraft in front of you (not overhead) is very important
and crucial to successful fi rst fl ights. Fly the airplane at a comfort-
able altitude and wait for the motor to cut off. Always think about
where you want the airplane to go next. Anticipate where you want
the aircraft to be prior to bringing the aircraft in for a safe landing.
Having trouble?
Should you over-control your airplane or lose orientation, it's pos-
sible that you'll fi nd yourself in a downward spiral dive. Should this
occur, remain calm and simply release the sticks! The plane will stop
turning by itself, and will exit the spiral dive with the nose pointed
down. Feed in some up elevator to level the aircraft and climb to a
safe altitude.
If you see that you're going to crash, immediately cut the power.
Doing so will minimize the damage to the aircraft.
