GREAT PLANES fokker DR-1 Instruction Manual

basis. If you are going to overshoot, smoothly advance the

throttle (always ready on the right rudder to counteract

torque) and climb out to make another attempt. But, if your

battery power is low, do not attempt to go around again. It is

better to land long than risk stalling the plane by ﬂ ying too

slow because the motor battery is low on power.

One ﬁ nal note about ﬂ ying your model: Have a goal or ﬂ ight

plan in mind for every ﬂ ight. This can be learning a new

maneuver(s), improving a maneuver(s) you already know,

or learning how the model behaves in certain conditions

(such as on high or low rates). This is not 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. Every maneuver should be

deliberate, not impulsive. For example, if you're going to do a

loop, check your altitude, mind the wind direction (anticipating

rudder corrections that will be required to maintain heading),

remember to throttle back at the top, and make certain you

are on the desired rates (high/low rates). A ﬂ ight plan greatly

reduces the chances of crashing your model just because of

poor planning and impulsive moves. Remember to think.

Have a ball! But always stay in control and ﬂ y in a

safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!

ElectriFly S.E. 5a WWI Park Flyer EP ARF by Great Planes

On your next trip to the park or ﬂ ying ﬁ eld, give chase to the

Red Baron's Flying Circus – behind the sticks of ElectriFly's

all-wood S.E. 5a biplane! This prebuilt version of the famous

RAF ﬁ ghter comes ready to take advantage of the latest

breakthroughs in electric power for long ﬂ ight times and

dogﬁ ght-winning maneuverability. It assembles quickly from

prebuilt structures of laser-cut, ﬁ lm-covered balsa/ply, and

includes easy-to-install cabanes, struts, and molded details

for vintage warbird looks. Spanning just 34", the S.E. 5a

can stay in one piece for transport in most vehicles. With

its ability to turn sharply and change directions quickly, any

open area can easily become the stage for exciting sport

ﬂ ying and mock combat! GPMA1140

ElectriFly Fokker D.VII EP ARF by Great Planes

Like the full-size Fokker D.VII that challenged Allied air

forces in WWI, this prebuilt park ﬂ yer is a spirited performer.

And because the Fokker D.VII park ﬂ yer is an ARF, the high-

quality, laser-cut wood parts assemble quickly and easily.

Its prebuilt balsa/ply structures are precovered in a high-

quality ﬁ lm. Lots of impressive details are included, from

the vacuum-formed cowl and realistic machine guns to the

scale-shaped landing gear and scale wheels. The cabanes

and interplane struts come already painted and are shaped

for easy installation and proper alignment. An out-runner

brushless motor gives this model a great power-to-weight

ratio and long ﬂ ight times. The ElectriFly RimFire 28-30-950

motor (GPMG4560) was found to be ideal for the Fokker

D.VII. GPMA1141
