FINAL CHECKS
When checking the operation of the control surfaces, make sure that nothing is in the
way of the propeller and it is free to turn. Ensure that hands and clothing are kept away
from the propeller. Move the throttle stick to its idle position. Switch on the transmitter.
Connect the ight battery (there is no onboard switch). After you hear a single ‘beep’,
the model is ready to test. Check that the elevator and aileron servos are centred when
the transmitter sticks and trims are at neutral. Check that the ailerons and elevators
move in the correct direction when the transmitter sticks are moved. Now check the
operation of the throttle by slowly advancing the throttle stick. Should the motor rotate
in a reversed direction, disconnect the ight battery and sway the connections of any
two wires to the motor. The model is now ready to charge and y!
FLYING THE FLYING LEGENDS MINI SCALE SPITFIRE
Ensure that your transmitter is fully charged. Fully charge the ight battery. Choose
a large, open eld with grass for your rst ights. Ensure that there are no vehicles,
buildings, power lines or trees in the vicinity.
Once you are satised that your frequency is clear to y, perform a range check to
ensure that the radio system is operating correctly. For the rst ights, we recommend
an assistant launches the model for you. Make sure the Spitre is rmly launched
with its wings level and nose slightly down. Always launch directly into the wind. Once
airborne, familiarise yourself with the control response, then gain height and check the
stall characteristics. The model has a good turn of speed but can be slowed right down
for landings. Aerobatic manoeuvres can be performed with ease - just trade height for
speed and keep the manoeuvres smooth and large. Landing should always be carried
out into the wind with the wings level. Reduce the throttle and allow the model to
descend while keeping the turns at and gentle. When the aircraft is over the landing
spot, the throttle can be pulled completely back to stop the motor and allow the model
to land straight ahead. Just before touch-down, gently pull back on the elevator control
stick to ‘air’ the landing.
Happy and safe ying!
