Flight School

Based on the size and weight of the plane it’s typically considered to be a „park ﬂ yer”

class model. As a result it’s best to ﬂ y the plane at a local park, schoolyard, ﬂ ying

ﬁ eld or other area that’s large enough and free of people and obstructions. We

recommend an area the size of at least one football/ soccer ﬁ eld, however, even

larger areas are better suited and preferred especially when learning how to ﬂ y. Do

not ﬂ y in parking lots, crowded neighborhood areas or in areas that are not free of

people and obstructions. We also suggest ﬂ ying over grass as it’s a much more

forgiving surface that causes less damage in the unfortunate event of a crash. Short

grass is better for take offs and landings as grass that is too long can cause the

airplane to nose-over/ ﬂ ip and be damaged. An ideal ﬂ ying area allows for takeoffs

and landings on a smoother surface (such as asphalt) and ﬂ ying over grass.

Fly in spacious ground without obstacles and boscage.

Never ﬂ y the plane near highways, railways, high tension lines, crowds of people,

ﬂ ying areas, and residential areas.

! The plane is designed to be ﬂ own outdoors only.

Flying Conditions

It’s typically best to ﬂ y on days that are calm with no wind, especially when

learning how to ﬂ y. We strongly suggest ﬂ ying only in calm conditions until you’re

familiar with the controls and handling of the model. Even light winds can make it

much more difﬁ cult to learn to ﬂ y, and in some cases can even carry the model beyond your line of sight.

Also, if you are a ﬁ rst-time or low-time pilot we highly recommend allowing a more experienced pilot to test ﬂ y and properly trim the model

before attempting your ﬁ rst ﬂ ight. A proven ﬂ yable and properly trimmed model is signiﬁ cantly easier and more enjoyable to ﬂ y! Please

contact your local hobby shop and/ or ﬂ ying club to ﬁ nd a more experienced pilot near you. After you’ve properly trimmed the airplane in calm

conditions and become familiar with its handling/ capabilities you’ll be able to ﬂ y in light winds, or depending on your experience and comfort

level, in winds up to 5 – 7 mph. DO NOT ﬂ y on days when signiﬁ cant moisture, such as rain or snow, is present.
