FLYING THE Me-163:
The Durafly Messerschmitt Me-163 is an exciting and enjoyable model to fly with
blistering performance, incredible handling and many scale features.
Due to the unique 'dolly' configuration of the Me-163, care must be taken when
beginning each flight . Take off /launching is the only challenging part of flying your
Me-163. It is recommended that you follow the guidelines under the ‘dolly Take-Off
’
and ‘Hand Launching’ section of this manual on the following page to ensure a
smooth and enjoyable start to your flight.
Once in the air the Durafly Me-163 is an exceptionally well behaved model and will
amaze you with its performance and agility. At full throttle you'll enjoy almost
unlimited vertical performance and always with full and precise responsiveness and
control. Big aerobatic maneuvers are easy to perform, hold well and always
impress. Fast passes not only look and sound incredible, but feel rock solid and
can be performed with confidence and ease. With the throttle reduced, the Komet is
just as confidence inspiring, enjoy good slow speed handling and maneuverability
along with an impeccable glide rate.
When using the recommended Turnigy 2200mah 3S 65 ASPEC lipo battery, flight
times of 7-8 minutes of mixed throttle flying are easily achieved. Once you are
ready to land, the natural glide rate of the Me-163 allows for a stable descent and
use of a low throttle setting will help reduce the length of your approach. Landing
itself is very easy as the Me-163 enjoys a very low stall speed so can be eased into
a smooth landing with a minimum amount of effort and maximum amount of
satisfaction.
Fancy adding a model rocket to your Durafly Me-163 for the ultimate touch of scale
realism? See ‘Model Rocket use‘ on the followings pages for more details.
Enjoy flying the Me-163 and thank you for choosing Durafly.
