You will have to move all the time
so that your body stays in the same
direction as the airplane. If the
airplane is behind you, turn only
your head to see the plane. When
your body is imitating the airplane's
direction in this way, controlling the
airplane should be easier.
Landing
If you are following the airfield traffic
pattern (see page 23), the airplane
will be headed toward you on your
final approach. To maneuver the plane
more easily in such a situation, follow
30 | PowerUp 3.0 User Guide
the recommendations in the section
Controlling an Airplane When It Is
Coming Toward You.
1. To land safely, direct your airplane to
a soft area of the ground.
2. Set the thrust to 0%.
3. Wait for the airplane to land, and
then double-tap the app screen to
lock the throttle.
Important: Never pick up your
airplane by the wings. Grasp it only by
the Smart Module or the keel.
4. If this is your last flight of the day,
turn off the Smart Module.
Observe, Identify, Adjust
Your first attempts may not succeed, but by making the right adjustments, you
will eventually get your airplane to fly perfectly. The key steps to improving your
airplane's flight are observe, identify, adjust, and try again.
Observe carefully to determine what the airplane is experiencing during flight, and
then make the suggested adjustments.
