16. The First Flight
Before the first start, the flight battery must be charged according to the instructions in the section “Charging the Flight Battery”. Use a battery tester to test the
remaining capacity of the transmitter batteries. After once again briefly reviewing the motor function and deflections of the elevator and rudder, the model is ready
for its first flight.
Select a suitable area to operate your model. We recommend a model flight field or large meadow for your first flight attempts. Once you have your model well
under control, you can fly it in gyms as well.
If you perform your first flight outdoors, wait for a day with nearly no wind.
a) Take-Off
Generally, it is easily possible to start the model on your own and from a smooth floor. For the first flight, however, we still recommend using a launch helper to
launch the model from his hand. This way, you have both hands free for steering and can focus fully on the model. Outdoors, always start against the wind. In
halls, start from a corner so that the entire room is available for the first curve.
The start helper takes the model at the fuselage below the wings with his thumb and first finger.
Our tip: In order to be able to distinctly see the flight attitude of your model, you should stand to the side and behind the person assisting you and look into the
flight direction of the starting model.
Now accelerate slowly and let the motor run at an output of approx. 60 - 70%.
The launch helper then releases the model straight forwards with a gentle push.
The model should now rise at a flat angle. Try to steer as little as possible. Only steer the model if it changes its flight attitude by itself and e.g. flies a curve,
ascends too high or is about to nose-dive.
To sensitively correct the flight attitude and to carry out specific changes of direction in normal flight attitude, short and limited movements of the control stick on
the transmitter are sufficient.
Once the desired flight height is reached, reduce the motor performance and initiate the first curve.
b) Curve Flight
Curves are initiated with the rudder; the model angles to the side. If the model has reached the desired inclination, the rudder is returned into centre position.
Now, the curve can be flown at a constant altitude by gently pulling the elevator control stick.
When the model flies in the desired direction, a quick regulation of the rudder into the opposite direction will bring the model back to a horizontal position and also
return the elevator to the centre position. Try not to take too narrow curves in the beginning and observe even flight height even in curves.
Important!
The rudder efficiency depends on the deflection path at the transmitter, as well as the motor performance. The higher the motor speed, the narrower
curves can be flown.
Attention!
When flying, always observe sufficient minimum flight speed. With reduced motor output, pulling on the elevator control lever too much will cause
the model to slow down and top forwards over the fuselage top or to the side over a wing.
Therefore, fly at a sufficient safety height in the beginning in order to allow yourself to get used to the steering attitude of the model. Do not fly too far outdoors
in order to be able to clearly evaluate flight attitude at all times.
