Flying With the Optional Float Set (HBZ7390)
To y this aircraft off water, install the optional
HobbyZone
®
Float Set (HBZ7390, sold separately). Float
struts, strut brackets and 4 screws are included with the
aircraft. Rear bracket screws are included with the oats.
Follow the instructions included with the optional oat set
to install them to the aircraft.
Only install the oats if you are comfortable ying your
aircraft and have repeatedly taken off, own and landed
with success. Flying off water poses a higher risk to the
aircraft because the electronics can fail if fully immersed
in water.
Always ensure the oats are correctly secured to the
fuselage prior to taxiing or attempting takeoff.
To take off from water, steer with the rudder to turn into
the wind and slowly increase the throttle. Keep the wings
level on takeoff. Hold a small amount (1/4–1/3) of up
elevator and the aircraft will lift off once ying speed is
reached.
To land this aircraft on water, y to a couple of feet off the
surface of the water. Reduce throttle and add up elevator
to are the aircraft.
When taxiing, you must use throttle to move the aircraft
forward, but steer with the rudder stick.
Avoid taxiing cross wind if there is a breeze, as this can
cause the aircraft to ip over if wind gets under the
upwind wing. Taxi 45 degrees into the direction of the
wind (not perpendicular to the wind) and use aileron to
hold the upwind wing down. The aircraft will naturally try
to face into the wind when taxiing.
Always fully dry the aircraft after landing on water.
CAUTION: Never go alone to get a downed
model in the water.
CAUTION: If at any time water splashes in
the fuselage while ying from water, bring
the airplane to shore, open the battery hatch and
immediately remove any water that may have gotten
in the fuselage. Leave the battery hatch open overnight
to let the inside dry and to prevent moisture damage to
the electronic components. Failure to do so could cause
the electronic components to fail, which could result in
a crash.
