BASIC OPERATION
Controls: This Airplane is intended for straight, level flight while allowing turns to the left and right
using the Throttle Control buttons. When ready for flight, turn the Transmitter Power Switch to ON
(see Figure 7).To apply thrust, press down theThrottle Control button (see Figure 7).To increase
speed, keep theThrottle Control button pressed and moveThrottle Direction Control forward;to
decrease speed, move it back and lessen pressure onThrottle Control button. (see Figure 7).
Turning: Ease theThrottle Dirrection Control (Figure 7) to the left and the Airplane will turn to the
left. Ease the Throttle Direction Control to the right and the Airplane will turn to the right.
Trim: Use gentle pressure on the trailing edge of the main wing or tail to bend slightly. If one should
break accidentally, a simple fix is a small piece of clear tape. Trim just enough to insure a level,
smooth flight.
Always turn off the Transmitter when done flying.
