Aerobatic Flight
25
Your Firebird Freedom
™
comes out of
the box with the controls set for begin-
ning pilots, with the pushrod attached in
the outer holes of the control surfaces. By
adjusting the pushrods so they are attached
in the holes on the tail that are closer to the
control surfaces, you will give your Firebird
Freedom more control response for more
aerobatic maneuvers, such as loops and tail
slides.
CAUTION: This should not be done until
you have gained more experience at flying
and have flown for some time successfully
with the ACT
™
software turned off.
