Prime Tundra Plug N Fly Instruction Manual
Please remember, if when you are flying and you get into a muddle, the gyro is there to help you. If
this happens, just let go of the control sticks, reduce the throttle, and let the model sort itself out.
Once the model is flying straight and level again, ease the throttle back to around 50% and carefully
bring it back to the flying area if it has drifted away.
10. The next thing we need to think about before the battery gets too low is the landing. A good
landing comes from doing a good, well-controlled circuit and a steady final approach to the landing
area. We do not recommend that you use the flaps until you have a lot more experience under your
belt.
11. For the purposes of this exercise we will do a right hand circuit, see the illustration above.
Start your circuit well upwind and in front of the landing area at about 100ft flying from left to right,
you should have no more than 50% throttle on at this point. Now turn the model right to join the
downwind leg, fly parallel to the landing strip down the right-hand side, you can reduce the
throttle slightly as you fly downwind to reduce the height a little. Once you are just past the
landing area, make a 90 turn onto the base leg, reduce the throttle to about 30% when
established on the base leg to lose a bit more height. Once you are almost in line with the landing
area, do another 90 turn back into wind and onto the final approach. Now reduce power some
more until you get a steady rate of descent, if at this point you think you will overshoot your
landing area (land well beyond it) reduce power a bit more, if you think you will undershoot the
landing area (land before it) increase power a little bit. Once you have a steady rate of descent
and it looks like you will land somewhere close to your chosen area just leave things alone, the
gyro will keep the plane straight and level.
Example of a typical right hand circuit, approach, and landing.
