In Flight Adjustments
1. On the initial flight climb to about 75-100 feet and see if any trim is required. If the model rolls to
the right, apply some left aileron trim to level the wings. If the model dives, apply some up elevator trim,
etc.
2. Landing should be made into the wind, reduce the throttle to just above idle and keep the nose level
or a little high allowing the airplane to sink toward the ground. Apply a little throttle as the model reaches
an altitude of a foot or so, this will slow the descent and aid in the flare to a smooth landing.
