1. It is important to adjust or “trim” your electric free flight Sky Volt correctly.
2. Before launching the Sky Volt, grasp the airplane fuselage and with the motor off,
gently toss the Sky Volt into the wind. It should glide straight ahead and settle
gently to the ground. See the diagrams below.
A= Dive. Bend elevators upward slightly.
B= Stall. Bend elevators down slightly.
C= Correct flight path.
D= To turn left, bend the rudder slightly to the left.
E= To turn right, bend the rudder slightly to the right.
3. If needed, using a hobby knife, carefully cut only the top
and bottom of the rudder and the inside and outside ends
of both elevators.
4. Repeat step 2 until your airplane glides well.
TRIMMING YOUR ELECTRIC FREE-FLIGHT SKY VOLT (must be done before flying)
SAFETY RULES
• Always launch the airplane away
from people and obstacles
• Never point the airplane at anyone
or anything
• Always launch skyward
• Do not launch indoors
1. Choose an open field, free of trees,
power lines and other obstacles. Hold the
Sky Volt in your hand over your head and
switch on the motor with your other hand.
Toss the Sky Volt into the wind, keeping
the wing level.
2. The Sky Volt should climb gently and
turn gradually. If it stalls and crashes,
adjust the elevator. If it does not turn,
bend the rudder slightly to the left or right.
Refer to the “TRIMMING YOUR
ELECTRIC
SKY VOLT” section for details.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO REMEMBER
WHEN YOU ARE FLYING YOUR FREE
FLIGHT SKY VOLT
The most important thing that determines
how well your Sky Volt flies is how well
you have trimmed it.
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 is not broken
and is securely attached to the fuselage.
Make sure the tail parts are not cracked
or
broken. See the repair section for
details.
Always throw the electric free flight Sky
Volt into the wind. Do not fly the airplane
if it is too windy.
Never charge your batteries for more than
60 seconds. If you do, you may overheat
the batteries in the Sky Volt or your
charger and damage them.
REPAIR: If the fuselage is cracked or
damaged, apply white glue and
cellophane tape and let it dry overnight.
WARNING: Do not use super glue. It will
damage the foam. If the wing or tail
becomes damaged, apply cellophane
tape over the damaged area.
