Flying Try to get an experienced flyer to check through your installation before flying. Ask him/her to do the first flight for you. He/she can trim out the control surfaces for you so the model can fly straight and level with control sticks in neutral positions and throttle stick about half throttle. You will get a much higher successful rate with the help from an experienced flyer.

Flying Now it is time to take off. Don't fly if the wind is more than 5 miles per hour. Wind is good for take off and landing, but if it is too windy, it will be very difficult to control the plane. It is much better to wait for calm weather than crashing your beautiful plane.
Page 16
Landing Turn the plane against the wind, line up with the runway and throttle back. The plane will be losing air speed and descending gradually. Use the elevator to keep the plane in a level manner. If you allow the plane to nose up, the plane will lose air speed too soon and will lose lift ( stall ) and falls to the ground.
