Flying Conditions and Experience
It is typically best to y on days that are calm, especially when learning. When
learning to y even light winds can make things difcult and can even carry
the model beyond your range of vision. When you have properly trimmed the
airplane in calm conditions and become familiar with its handling and capability
you will be able to y it in light winds of up to 7mph. Do not y when it’s snowing
or raining.
If you are a new or low-hours pilot we highly recommend that you allow a more
experienced yer to test and trim your model before you attempt your rst ight.
A properly trimmed airplane is signicantly easier and more enjoyable to y. We
also suggest that your rst few ights be carried out with the ight stabilization
control set to Beginner mode (switch position 2).
Pre- and Post-ight Checklist
• Always power the transmitter ON rst.
• Ensure the throttle stick is in the low position before connecting the battery.
• Make sure the control surfaces operate in the correct direction.
• Arm the motor only when ready to take off.
• Take off from a smooth / level surface or hand-launch the airplane at full
power in a slightly nose high attitude.
• Land on a smooth / level surface.
• Unplug the battery from the model.
• Always power the transmitter OFF last.
Propeller Replacement
Do not attempt to y your Mini Gamma with a damaged or broken propeller. In
the event that you damage the propeller, replace it with a new one using the
following procedure:
• Disconnect the battery from the airplane.
• Prise the rubber spinner from the propeller hub and put to one side for
reuse.
• Hold the propeller shaft tightly with a pair of needle-nose pliers and rotate
the propeller in an anticlockwise direction to unscrew it from the shaft.
• Fit the new propeller in a reverse operation of the above, using rubberized,
foam-friendly glue to carefully ret the spinner.
