Airplane Flight - GREAT PLANES RealFlight 7 User Manual

RealFlight has several tools to help you stay on top of things during approach and
landing. See the "Landings" section below for some ideas.
Out at the field a crash might result in one or more of the following:
• Bruise your ego
• End flying for the day
• Cost you money
• Cost you time to rebuild
• Cause injury to yourself or a bystander
• Even win you a nice "best crash trophy!"
Of course, when you crash on the simulator, there is really no harm done. None, that
is, except the bad habits you may acquire. We suggest that you take the crashes
seriously and learn from each one. By doing so, you will be a better pilot out at the
field.

Airplane Flight-

RealFlight 7 accurately simulates how R/C aircraft really fly. This allows you to
practice R/C flight without worrying about expensive crashes. Additionally, RealFlight
7 is ideal for practicing new maneuvers and experimenting with various parameter
adjustments.
It is important to remember, however, that a simulator will only help you learn to fly if
you let it. Otherwise, it is just a game. Learning to fly R/C aircraft requires a
commitment. One does not just grab the sticks and start dazzling the crowds. A
methodical, patient approach will help you get the most out of this simulator.
This section is not designed to teach you how to fly. However, it will help you enhance
your experience with the simulator and obtain the most from your experiences.
Takeoffs-
When you are taking off, start with the throttle in low position and slowly
increase throttle by pushing the throttle stick away from you towards the top
of the transmitter until you are at about half speed. Stay in the middle of the
runway (you can steer the plane using the rudder). When you have built up
enough speed, gradually pull back on the elevator stick to climb off the
runway. If the plane is tracking well, apply the rest of the power more quickly,
climb out, and gain altitude.
