38. Pre-flight checks
For the rst ight wait for a day with as little breeze as possible; the
evening hours often offer calmer conditions.
Important: It is essential to carry out a range-check before the rst
ight! Please follow the instructions laid down by your RC system
manufacturer.
The transmitter battery and ight pack must be fully charged in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations.
If you are unsure about any point, do not y the model! If you cannot
identify and cure the problem, send the whole RC system (including
battery, switch harness and servos) to your system manufacturer for
checking.
39. Maiden flight …
Important: Do not attempt any hand-glides with this model!
The aircraft is designed to be hand-launched (always into wind). If you
are a beginner to model ying, we strongly recommend that you ask an
experienced modeller to help you for the rst few ights. Once the model
has reached a safe height, adjust the control surfaces using the trims
on the transmitter, so that the model ies straight and level “hands-off”.
With the aircraft ying at an adequate altitude, check how it responds
when the motor is switched off, so that you are familiar with its behaviour
on the glide. Carry out repeated simulated landing approaches at a safe
height, as this will prepare you for the real landing when the battery is
discharged. Avoid ying tight turns at rst, especially close to the ground,
and in particular during the landing approach. It is always better to land
safely some distance away than to risk a crash by forcing the model back
to your feet. If you have no prior experience in model ying, please take
the time to read through the section entitled “The basics of model ying”.
Important: Before every ight, check that the battery, the wings and
the tail panels are attached and rmly seated. Check in turn that each
control surface is operating correctly!
