Find a Flight Field
We also suggest ying over grass as it is a much more
forgiving surface that causes less damage in the unfortunate
event or a crash. Short grass is better for takeoffs & landings
as grass that is too long can cause the airplane to nose-over/
ip and be damaged. An ideal ying area allows for takeoffs &
landings on a smoother surface(asphalt) & ying over grass.
Fly in spacious ground without obstacles and boskage.
Never y the plane near highway, railway, high tension line,
crowded people, ying area and residential area.
NOTE: The plane is designed to be ew outdoors only.
Based on the size and weight of the plane it is typically considered to be a "park yer" class airplane. As
a result it is best to y the plane at a local park, schoolyard, ying eld or other area that is large enough
and free of people and obstructions. We recommend and area the size of at least one football/soccer eld.
However, even larger areas are better suited and preferred especially when learning how to y. Do NOT y
in parking lots, crowded neighborhood areas or in areas that are not free of people or obstructions.
Flying Conditions
It is typically best to y on days that are calm without wind, especially when learning how to y. It is strongly
suggested ying only in calm conditions until you are familiar with the controls and handling of the model.
Even light winds can make it much more difficult to learn to fly, and in some cases can even carry the
model beyong your line of sight.
Also, if you are a rst-time or low-time pilot, we highly recommend that allow a more experienced pilot to
test y and properly trim the model before attempting your rst ight. A proven yable and properly trimmed
model is signicantly easier and more enjoyable to y.
After you have properly trimmed the airplane in calm conditions and become familiar with its handling/
capabilities you will be able to fly in light winds or depending on your experience and comfort level, in
winds up to 5-7 mph.
Do NOT y on days when signicant moisture, such as rain or snow, is present.
