Making Repairs - MegaTech Freedom Flyer Flight Manual

20
Begin by placing the airplane on a smooth asphalt or concrete sur-
face. Push the aircraft by the vertical fi n and watch to make sure that
it rolls straight. If the airplane pulls to the right or left, adjust the
nose wheel so that it rolls straight down the runway. Once the air-
craft rolls straight, line it up on the runway that you'll be using and
you're ready to attempt a ground take off.
Switch on the motor and advance the throttle to full power. Keep the
airplane travelling in a straight path by using small rudder inputs if
necessary. Allow it to pick up speed for about 35 feet, then gently
add a small amount of up elevator and the Freedom Flyer will break
ground. Continue to gain altitude in a shallow climb and you're on
your way. See Figure 20.

Making Repairs

If the wings or tail surfaces should
crack or break, they can be repaired
using 5-minute epoxy glue. If the
crack is small, the part can also be
fi xed using a strong clear packaging
tape. See Figure
