VolantexRC ASW28 Instructions Manual - Flying
One thing to remember is that, when the plane is flying away from you, moving
the aileron stick to the right will make the plane bank to your right.
However, when the model is flying toward you, moving the aileron stick to the right
will make the plane move to your left. Of course, the plane is still responding the
same way, it’s just that your orientation has reversed. This must be kept in mi-
nd while learning to fly (and is also a good reason to take flight lessons from an
experienced pilot!).
To establish a turn
gently apply some
aileron
in the direction you want
the model
to
ban
k, once it is at the required angle of bank almost centralise the ailerons, leave
just a small amount in the direction of the turn, a small amount of up elevator will be
required to maintain the correct attitude and to stop a spiral dive developing.
. To
stop the turn
move the aileron stick in the opposite direction, centralise the stick
when the wings are level and remove any up elevator you may still be holding
in.
Once you get the plane into the air and have climbed to a comfortable altitude,
the first “order of business” will be to “trim” the model for straight - and - level
flight. The model flies best at approximately 3/4-throttle. Adjust the trims on the tran-
smitter to make minor control surface adjustments as necessary until the plane will fly
straight and without climbing or descending without any stick in puts at all. If
necessary ask your helper to adjust the trims for you whilst you are flying. A well
trimmed model is much easier to fly than a model that is out of trim, take your time to
get this exercise correct.
