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 Spitfire.
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 –7mm] 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

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 sufficient
reaction time to make a correction during flight.
Once you’re comfortable, adjust the aileron, elevator
and rudder trims one click at a time until the Spitfire
flies straight and level with the control sticks centered.
You will quickly notice that the Spitfire has the feel of a larger
R/C airplane.The airplane requires only small amounts of
control stick movement to fly 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 first couple of flights. Then, gradually
increase the flight time to fit your flying style. Allow at least an
extra 1-minute of flight 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 “flare” for landing.
Unplug and remove the battery from the model and
switch off the transmitter. Allow the motor to cool
between flights.
