Climb Assist
The WISE gyro is equipped with a climb assist function
which automatically applies a small percentage of up
elevator control for all throttle settings above 50%. The
climb assist feature makes taking off virtually hands-free.
At full throttle the WISE gyro will add enough elevator
for a smooth, gradual lift off and will continue to climb
as long as the throttle is above 50%. This allows new
pilots to focus more of their attention on direction and
their fi rst turns. Putting the mode in ADVANCED turns
off the climb assist.
COWL REMOVAL
If the motor or ESC needs to be replaced on your Sensei, the
cowl will need to be removed. The cowl has been glued to
the front of the fuselage by the factory and will be damaged
during removal, requiring replacement. To remove the cowl,
it will need to be carefully cut and peeled off the front of the
fuselage. (Sensei Cowl Part Number FLZA6178)
❏
1. Make three cuts, one on the top and one on each side,
2” (50mm) long.
❏
2. Carefully peel off one side of the cowl to expose the
fuselage. Use a sharp hobby knife to fi nish the top cut back
to the fuselage. Do not cut into the fuselage under the cowl.
❏
3. Work your fi ngers under the top of the cowl and carefully
peel the cowl off the fuselage.
❏
4. Now that you can see the fuselage and the wires from
the ESC, continue cutting and peeling the rest of the cowl off.
Note that the cowl may have weight attached to the inside to
balance the plane. This weight may need to be removed and
attached to the new cowl to balance the plane at the correct CG.
❏
5. To reinstall the cowl, tape the weight inside the cowl and
then tape the cowl to the fuselage. Re-install the propeller and
spinner. With the wing attached, check that the plane balances
at the correct CG shown in the instruction manual. If the plane
needs additional weight, Great Planes sells stick-on weight
used to balance planes. (GPMQ4485)
❏
6. Once you have determined the amount of weight needed
to balance the plane, permanently glue the weight to the
inside of the cowl.
❏
7. Clear tape or glue can be used to attach the cowl to
the fuselage.
