FLIGHT SETUP
Because transmitters other than the Tactic transmitters may be used, the following information is included to properly set the throws and C.G. (center-of-gravity) on the AirCore Spitfi re.
The measurements are taken at the widest part of the control
surface with a minimum and maximum throw indicated.
Aileron Throw 1/4 –9/32" [6 –7 mm] 10 –12 deg. Up and down Rudder Throw 1/4–11/32" [6 –8 mm] 13–17 deg. Left and right Elevator Throw 5/32– 3/16" [4– 5 mm] 10–13 deg. Up and down

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION OF
THE LANDING GEAR
®
OPTIONAL INSTALLATION of ANTENNA
It’s recommended that you attempt to land before the motor loses power and doesn’t have enough voltage to maintain altitude. If you have a timer on your transmitter, set it for
4-minutes for the fi rst couple of fl ights. Then, gradually
increase the fl ight time to fi t your fl ying style. Allow at least an extra 1-minute of fl ight time for a second attempt at landing.
If possible, always land directly into the wind.
Gradually reduce power when you are close to the landing
spot. When close to the ground and about to touch down, pull the elevator stick back slightly to raise the nose of the model and to “fl are” for landing.
Unplug and remove the battery from the model and
switch off the transmitter. Allow the motor to cool between flights.
OPTIONAL INSTALLATION of WING CANNONS
RANGE CHECK
With the transmitter powered and the battery plugged into
the AirCore Module, walk 50’ [15m] from the aircraft and check the control functions for proper and smooth operation.
FLYING THE AIRCORE AIRPLANES
Take off (or hand launch) directly into the wind.
Hand launch with throttle set at ¾ power, wings level and with a slight toss (it is not necessary to aggressively throw this model to hand launch it).
Once in the air, gain altitude to allow yourself suffi cient reaction time to make a correction during fl ight.
Once you’re comfortable, adjust the aileron, elevator and rudder trims one click at a time until the Spitfi re fl ies straight and level with the control sticks centered.
You will quickly notice that the Spitfi re has the feel of a larger
R/C airplane. The airplane requires only small amounts of
control stick movement to fl y smoothly.
