For reassurance and to keep an eye on other traffic, it is a

good idea to have an assistant on the flight line with you. Tell

him to remind you to throttle back once the plane gets to a

comfortable altitude. While full throttle is usually desirable for

takeoff, most models fly more smoothly at reduced speeds.

Take it easy with the S.E.5a EP ARF for the first few flights,

gradually getting acquainted with it as you gain confidence.

Adjust the trims to maintain straight and level flight. After

flying around for a while, and while still at a safe altitude with

plenty of battery power remaining, practice slow flight and

execute practice landing approaches by reducing the throttle

to see how the model handles at slower speeds. Add power

to see how she climbs as well. Continue to fly around,

executing various maneuvers and making mental notes (or

having your assistant write them down) of what trim or C.G.

changes may be required to fine tune the model so it flies

the way you like. Mind your battery power but use this first

flight to become familiar with your model before landing.

To initiate a landing approach, lower the throttle while on the

downwind leg. Allow the nose of the model to pitch downward

to gradually bleed off altitude. Continue to lose altitude, but

maintain airspeed by keeping the nose down as you turn onto

the crosswind leg. Make your final turn toward the runway (into

the wind) keeping the nose down to maintain airspeed and

control. Level the attitude when the model reaches the runway

4EXA 4-Channel Computer Radio

The 4EXA stores up to 4 models in memory, and lets you

call them up in seconds. Programming is easy; using just

two keys and a lever. But the 4EXA's biggest benefit is this:

room to grow. With the 4EXA, EPA for servos, expo, wing

mixing for V-tail and elevon are at your fingertips whenever

you want them. Includes an R124 receiver, full NiCds and

three S3108M servos. 72 MHz. FUTK41**

threshold, modulating the throttle as necessary to maintain

your glide path and airspeed. 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 flying too slow because the motor battery is low on

power. When you're ready to make your landing flare and the

model is a foot or so off the deck, smoothly increase up

elevator until it gently touches down.

One final note about flying your model. Have a goal or flight

plan in mind for every flight. 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 finding 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 flight 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 fly in a

safe manner.

GOOD LUCK AND GREAT FLYING!
