slightly to slow the model, yet maintain altitude. The Firebat

ARF should fly well and maintain adequate airspeed at

about 1/2 – 3/4 throttle.

Adjust the elevator trim so the model flies level at the throttle

setting you are using. Adjust the aileron trim to level the

wings. It may take a few minutes to get the trims adjusted,

but this should be your first priority once at a comfortable

altitude. Continue to fly around, executing turns and making

mental notes (or having your assistant take notes for you) of

what additional adjustments or C.G. changes may be required

to fine tune the model so it flies the way you like.

Landing

Begin the landing approach by flying downwind at an

altitude of approximately 40 feet [12 meters]. When the

airplane is approximately 50 to 100 feet [15 to 30 meters]

past you, gradually reduce power and make the "final" 180° turn

directly into the wind, aligning the airplane with the runway

or landing area. Do not dive the airplane, as it will pick up

too much speed. Instead, allow the airplane to establish a

gradual descent. Concentrate on keeping it heading into the

wind toward the runway. When the plane reaches an altitude

of about 3 feet [1 meter], reduce power some more and

gently and slowly apply a little "up elevator" to level the

plane, but be careful as too much up elevator will cause it to

stall. While holding a slight amount of up elevator the

airplane will slow and descend as it loses flying speed, thus

touching down on the runway.

Until you are able to accurately judge how far the Firebat

ARF can glide, it may be helpful to reserve some battery

power to run the motor so the plane can be flown back to the

runway. Be aware that after the speed controller has cut off

the power, most speed controllers will allow you to reduce

the throttle to idle and then advance the throttle to obtain a

brief burst of power.

Best of luck and happy flying!
