IMPORT ANT THINGS TO REMEMBER

WHEN YOU ARE FLYING YOUR

ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT REGENT

The most important thing that determines how well your Regent flies is how well y ou have it trimmed.

Because it can fly high and far, you must be in a large area away from houses, streets, trees and overhead wires.

Closely inspect your airplane after every flight.Make sure the wing and fins are not broken and that the fuselage is securely attached to the wing.

Make sure the fins are not cracked or broken. See the repair section for details. Always throw the electric free-flight Regent into the wind. Do not fly the airplane if it is too windy.

Never charge your plane for more than 60 seconds. If you do, you may overheat the batteries in the Regent or your charger and damage them.

REPAIR: If the fuselage, wing or fin is cracked or damaged, apply white glue and cellophane tape and let dry overnight.

WARNING: Do not use super glue. It will damage the foam. Always use white glue and cellophane tape to repair the electric free-flight Regent.

FLYING YOUR ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT REGENT

1. It is important to adjust, or “trim,”your electric free flight Regent correctly.

2. Before launching the Regent, grasp the airplane fuselage under the wing, and with the motor off, gently toss the Regent into

the wind. It should glide straight ahead and settle gently to the ground. See the diagram below.

A = If the plane dives, bend elevons upward slightly. B = If the plane stalls, bend elevons down slightly. C = Correct flight path.

D = To turn left, bend the left elevon up slightly and the

right elevon down slightly.

E = To turn right, bend the right elevon up slightly and

the left elevon down slightly.

3. Repeat step 2 until your airplane glides well.
