SPOILERS
In an aircraft
that has no
engine and is
designed to
glide as
efficiently as
possible it can
be amazingly
hard to land as
the aircraft will
tend to glide a
long way in the
ground effect.
Thus the use of
the spoiler is
very important
and you will
need smooth
control over it. If your control hardware has an additional slider (like for example the Saitek X52) we strongly advise you
to assign that to the spoilers so you can control the spoilers in small steps. When your hardware does not have any
additional slider, we advise you to use the throttle axis for this. We can offer help on the forums if you need to know
how this can be done on your stick.
TAKE-OFF WITH THE MOTORIZED VERSIONS
The ASK21 Mi has little wheels under the wingtips (and steerable nose wheel) but taking off still requires a bit of
practice. Here are some steps that will get you airborne. Do not feel bad if your first take-offs are not perfect.
 With the left wing on ground:
 Apply full right aileron, full pulled elevator, and a bit right rudder.
 Apply full throttle, and keep the direction with the rudder, stick still full right and pulled.
 Once the wing starts to level, control it with aileron, still keep the direction with the rudder and hold the stick
full back.
 As soon as the nose goes up slowly release back pressure and wait for lift off. Should happen at around 80kph.
Still keep a bit back pressure to climb with around 100 (blue line).
