31. FLYING THE NOVAX 350
31.1 Visual inspection
> Inspect the »NovaX 350 for damage before every flight. Replace damaged components
before flying again. Only use original spare parts.
> Observe the condition of each motor:
» Motor shaft
» Propeller position and condition
> Always replace defective parts immediately.
> If you are unsure about your product’s condition consult an experienced RC pilot or
contact our customer support. Do not attempt any further flight until the »NovaX 350
is fit for flight.

> Check if AILERON and ELEVATOR behave as intended.
> Check if THROTTLE and RUDDER behave as intended.
31.4.2 Taking off
> Once the motors are running, increase throttle until the »NovaX 350 is at least 50 cm
above the ground. At this height, you have passed the so-called ground effect and the
»NovaX 350 is more stable in its flight position, thus can be controlled more easily.
»NovaX 350 is more stable in its flight position, thus can be controlled more easily.
> You have now managed the critical part and can familiarize yourself with the
»NovaX 350 by gentle throttle motions.
During flight close above the ground and during take-off,
turbulence and air flow can be experienced which may
affect the »NovaX 350. Quicker response to the controlling
motions and slight swerving of the »NovaX 350 forwards,
backwards or to the side may result from this. This so-
called ground effect is no longer present starting at an
altitude of approx. 50 cm.
31.4.3 Landing
> To land the »NovaX 350, decrease the throttle slightly until it gravitates to the ground.
A somewhat solid touchdown is no problem and should not be corrected with jerky
throttle movements.
