Flying notes
- Read the sections in the Safety Notes entitled "Routine
pre-flight checks" and "Flying the model" before attempting
to fly the aeroplane for the first time.
- For your initial test-flights please wait for a day with no
more than a gentle breeze.
- A good flying site consists of a large, flat, open grassy field,
devoid of obstacles such as trees, fences, high-tension
overhead cables etc.
- Repeat the check of all the working systems.
- Ask an experienced modelling friend to hand-launch the
aircraft for you. He should be capable of giving the aero-
plane a reasonably strong, flat launch.
- The model must always be launched directly into any wind.
- With the motor running at full-throttle, give the aeroplane a
firm launch directly into any breeze, with the fuselage and
wings level.
- Keep the Arcus E flying straight and level at first; don't
initiate a turn while it is still close to the ground.
- Adjust the control surface trims if necessary, so that the
model flies straight with a reasonable rate of climb "hands
off".
- Check the model's response to control commands. You
may need to increase or reduce the control surface travels
after the first landing.
- Check the glider's stalling speed at a safe height.
- Keep the model's speed well above the stall for the landing
approach.
- Always switch off the motor before the model touches
down.
- If you needed to adjust the trims during the test-flight, cor-
rect the length of the appropriate pushrod once the model
is back on the ground, then return the transmitter trims to
centre so that full trim travel is available to both sides of
neutral for subsequent flights.
