Trimming the Aircraft
Manually Adjusting Trim
It is recommend that the SAFE fl ight mode switch is
set to Experienced mode (position 2) before manually
adjusting trim.
Perform manual adjustment of trim before increasing
the throttle above 25% or the control surfaces will move
when the aircraft is moved.
Return any trim setting on the transmitter to neutral
by pushing the trim slider to the middle position, then
adjusting the clevis on that control surface to position it
the same as it was with the trim slider offset.
1. Remove the clevis from the control horn.
2. Turn the clevis (as shown) to lengthen or shorten the
pushrod.
3. Close the clevis onto the control horn and slide the
tube towards the horn to secure the clevis.
Adjusting Trim in fl ight
If your aircraft does not fl y straight and level at half
throttle with the sticks at center, fl y into the wind and ad-
just the aircrafts trim by moving the digital trim buttons.
IMPORTANT: All trimming and Control test should be
performed when in Experienced Mode.
Choose a Flying Field
In order to have the most success and to protect your
property and aircraft, it is very important to select a place
to fl y that is very open. Consult local laws and ordinances
before choosing a location to fl y your aircraft.
The site should:
• Have a minimum of approximately 600 feet (183m) of
clear space in all directions.
• Stay clear of pedestrians.
• Stay free of trees, buildings, cars, power lines or any-
thing that could entangle your aircraft or interfere with
your line of sight.
Remember, your aircraft can reach signifi cant speeds
when fl ying and can cover ground quickly. Plan on fl ying
in an area that gives you more space than you think you
need, especially with fi rst fl ights.
