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 Me 109.
The measurements are taken at the widest part of the
control surface.
Aileron Throw 3/8in [9mm] 21 deg. Up and down
Rudder Throw 7/16 in [11mm] 18 deg. Left and right
Elevator Throw 1/4 in [6mm] 16 deg. Up and down

OPTIONAL INSTALLATION
OF THE LANDING GEAR
RANGE CHECK
With the transmitter switched on and the battery plugged
into the AirCore Module, walk 50’ [15m] from the aircraft and
check the control functions for proper and smooth operation.
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 slow the landing speed to “fl air” for landing.
Unplug and remove the battery from the model and
switch off the transmitter. Allow the motor to cool
between flights.
REPAIRS
Repairs can be made to the AirCore Me-109 by using the
following items:
● Formula ‘560’ Canopy Glue (highly recommended)
(PAAR3300)
● Thick Foam Safe CA (for quick fi eld repairs)
(GPMR6072)
● Foam safe CA accelerator (GPMR6035)
● Two sets of needle nose pliers or hemostats
(HCAR0625)
● Hobby Knife (#11 blade) (RMXR6900)
● Electric Flyer Hinge Tape (DUBQ0916)
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 so that the AirCore Me
109 fl ies straight and level with the control sticks centered.
You will quickly notice that the Me 109 has the feel of a larger
R/C airplane. The airplane requires only small amounts of
control stick movement to fl y smoothly.
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 to allow for a second
attempt at landing.
