31.4.2 Taking off
> Oncethemotorsarerunning,increasethrottleuntilthe»NovaX350isatleast50cm
abovetheground.Atthisheight,youhavepassedtheso-calledgroundeffectandthe
»NovaX350ismorestableinitsightposition,thuscanbecontrolledmoreeasily.
> You have now managed the critical part and can familiarize yourself with the
»NovaX350bygentlethrottlemotions.
During flight close above the ground and during take-off,
turbulence and air flow can be experienced which may
affect the »NovaX 350. Quicker response to the controlling
motions and slight swerving of the »NovaX 350 forwards,
backwards or to the side may result from this. This so-
called ground effect is no longer present starting at an
altitude of approx. 50 cm.
31.4.3 Landing
