fLYING the excalibur:
12
* For optimum flight performance/model longevity, it is highly recommend that you always fly
with a balanced prop. The supplied prop should be balanced, but it’s always good to check first.
* Keep all leads within the fuselage area as tidy as possible. Tidy wires look better, allow for
easier access to all internal components, better battery installation, increased airflow around
electronics and a reduction in potential electronic signal interference (noise).
EXCALIBUR TIPS:
The Durafly Excalibur is both an easy and impressive aircraft to fly and has no special considerations
when it comes to flying but do make sure you’ve followed the set-up guidelines and recommendations
in this manual thoroughly for the best flying experience.
As powered gliders go, the Excalibur is in fact an extremely versatile air frame. Out of the box you will
already have an abundance of climb, maneuverability, power and grace on the supplied 13x7. However
, upgrade to the optional 'Pro' 13x8 prop, and see Excalibur really push the boundaries between warm
and hot liner! An 1800-2200mah 4S will give flight times from 4 minutes of continual powered flight or
up to 15mins with mixed throttle flying. And mixed throttle flying is really where its at with the Excalibur.
Full power climbs will get you to the cloud base in seconds, and a quick flick of the sticks has you
coming back down again in either a power or none powered dive, either way it will be blisteringly fast
and rock solid all the way. Or, remove the prop completely and you've got yourself ready to run high
energy slope machine with the included optional slope nose cone, the set-up is exactly the same.
When it does come to time to land, the Excalibur does as all good gliders should and that's glide. So to
bleed speed and reduce height when landing, fly an 'S' type approach or mix flapperons into your
model. The Excalibur will remain responsive throughout the speed range and all the way down to the
ground.
