●
Continue to make turns, holding the Turn Right/Left Stick in the direction you want the airplane to turn. You will notice
that when you turn, the airplane will climb as long as you are holding the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick completely forward.
Make a series of S-turns and circles to practice getting the hang of flying. Once the airplane has reached a comfortable
height, release the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick and the airplane will begin to slowly descend. During this time you can
continue to make right and left turns. When you want to climb again, simply push and hold the Motor Speed Up/Down stick
forward until the airplane reaches a comfortable height.
Because of the design of the airplane and for ease of flying, you will find that it may take a second or two for
the airplane to start turning after you've moved the Turn Right/Left Stick. This will keep you from overcontrolling the
airplane and getting into trouble. Just remember to hold the Turn Right/Left Stick in the direction you want to turn and
release it only after the airplane is flying in the direction you want it to.
●
You should continue to fly, making circles and S-turns for about 5 minutes or so. This will give you plenty of time for
landing. Remember, with the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick released the airplane will descend, but when you make a turn
the airplane will basically hold altitude and even climb slightly if you hold the Turn Right/Left Stick for a longer period of
time. If the airplane gets lower than you want, either turn to climb or, for a more rapid climb, push and hold the Motor Speed
Up/Down Stick completely forward.
If there is any wind when you are flying, you will notice that when the airplane turns into the wind it will slow
down and climb steeper. When this happens, you can release the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick if you don't want the
airplane to climb. When the airplane turns down-wind (with the wind), it will speed up and descend. You should push and
hold the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick completely forward to keep the airplane from descending too much while flying
down-wind.
●
Level flight will consist of a series of right and left turns, along with the addition of motor power, using the Motor Speed
Up/Down Stick to gently climb and descend. After some practice, you will learn how to minimize the amount of up and down
movement of the airplane and be able to control the airplane in a smooth and graceful manner.

PRO TIP
PRO TIP
●
Landing should always be done into the wind with the wing level.
●
To prepare for landing from normal flight, make a shallow turn so that the airplane is now flying into the wind. Make small
turns to level the wing, then let go of both the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick and the Turn Right/Left Stick. When you do this,
the airplane will gradually descend straight ahead.
●
If you need to make a slight turn, push the Turn Right/Left Stick, but only for a second. Make small turns like this to keep
the airplane flying straight. Do not try to make large turns.
●
When the airplane is about 4 feet off the ground, push the Motor Speed Up/Down Stick forward for just a second or two,
then release it. Doing this will level the airplane so it doesn't nose down hard into the ground.
When landing, you should just try to land anywhere on your flying field, as long as it's into the wind. Don't
try to land in a particular spot. You can do that once you've mastered flying the airplane.

Now that you've made your first few successful flights,
congratulations! Now you may want to trim your airplane
to fly even better. That's done in the next section.
