Flight attention Do not fly at any place where another same-frequency model is being operated. Taking off: Always take off toward the wind. When launch F9F-2 by hands, maximize the power (include the micro-adjuster) and run several meters, then throw the F9F-2 horizontally. When launch F9F-2 on the ground, maximize the power and let F9F-2 accelerate in direction of the wind and keep it running straightly, after it run more than 60 feet, then pull the elevator joy stick, and it will take off. Flight: To keep F9F-2 flying only need 50% of the maximum power, it is a good idea to fly with power for a while and glide for a while. In this way you can prolong the maximum flight time and familiarize yourself with landing approaches. Landing: Before landing, switch off the power, fly along with the wind, and when F9F-2 flies near to the ground, then pull the elevator joystick and F9F-2 will landing gently. With more practice, then you could control the model easily. Phenomenon Problem How to solve - 11 -
