To takeoff from the ground, simply set the model down facing

directly into any prevailing breeze. Smoothly, but rapidly

advance the throttle all the way using the rudder to steer the

Falcon straight until it lifts into the air.

Fly the Falcon gently at reduced throttle settings until you get

it trimmed for straight-and-level ﬂ ight. Once you get the Falcon

trimmed, note how it reacts to sudden bursts of full power. If the

Falcon climbs too much a small amount of down elevator trim

or a slight amount of additional nose weight may be required.

Continue to ﬂ y the Falcon around getting used to how it reacts.

Make mental notes about any adjustments to the control throws

or any handling characteristics that may be required to suit

your taste. When the timer sounds, land the Falcon into the

wind (if ﬂ ying outdoors).

Note that the Falcon can perform barrel rolls and ﬂ y inverted,

but the roll rate is rather slow, so prepare for this with plenty

of altitude until you get a feel for how it responds. The rudder

and elevator are more responsive.

One ﬁ nal note about ﬂ ying your model; have a goal or ﬂ ight plan

in mind for each ﬂ ight. This can be learning a new maneuver,

improving a maneuver you already know, or experimenting

with different setups (C.G., throws, etc.). The main reason for

this isn't necessarily to improve your skills (though it is never a

bad idea!), but more importantly so you do not surprise yourself

by impulsively attempting a maneuver and suddenly ﬁ nding

that you've run out of time, altitude or airspeed because you

didn't think ahead. Every maneuver should be planned and

deliberate—not impulsive. For example, even for something

simple as a loop, mind your altitude and wind direction and

make sure you're on the desired control rates (high, low) before

impulsively yanking back on the stick! A ﬂ ight plan greatly

reduces the chances of crashing your model just because

of poor planning and impulsive moves. Remember to think!

But always stay in control and ﬂ y in a safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!

Have a ball!
