Test Flight
Before the first flight, it’s suggest to check if every component is well connected, tilting servos working
properly, motors spinning to the correct direction and all control surfaces are moving to the desired
directions.
It’s suggested to use 3 modes, FBWA, Qstabilize and RTL as the initial modes on a three position switch. It’s
suggested to do the first flight in a very open area with no buildings or big trees around, and a flat taking off
area is necessary.
Use the Qstabilize mode, start the motors by pushing the rudder all to the right with the throttle at the lowest
position, the motors should start to spin, gradually increase the throttle until the plane is ready to lift from the
ground, move aileron, elevator and rudder stick gently to check if the plane is moving as desired.
Continue to push the throttle until the plane is lifted from ground, it may swing a bit since there should be big
airflow hitting the wing, lift the plane to around 3 meters and try to fly it as a multicopter, it should not be a
problem for anyone who can play a multicopter.
When you are familiar with all controls, lift the plane to at least 30m from the ground and make sure there is
not obstacle in front of the plane.
