Radio Installation:
First Flight:
Loop the cable to a brass tube and
the servo horn as shown. Tighten
the cable by slightly pulling it on
one hand and lock the cable in
place by using a plier to crimp the
brass tube which supplied with the
kit. In addition, Put some CA glue
on the cable and crimped brass
tube to prevent from loosening.
Install the main wing with the
screws provided. Install receivers
and battery inside the canopy.
All installations are completed.
Add your receiver and battery to the nose. We suggest using a 3.7-6v (10-15grams) receiver
battery and a micro receiver for the lightest RC setup. Remember the lighter the model, the
better it flies and performs!
Ensure the elevator and aileron are trimmed neutral prior to test flying. We suggest 5mm travel
on both direction on the elevator and 10mm travel on both direction for the aileron.
You need to stand parallel to the wing direction
Step 1. Your right index finger and middle finger should be wrapped around the peg.
Step 2. Stand with you left shoulder into the wind and the right wing tip on the ground.
Step 3. Start rotating to the left keeping the plane flat and your arm extended.
Step 4. On the second half of the rotation, this is the section which is most responsible for a good high
launch. Don’t use your arm to swing it too hard in this section. Remember, just let the rotation of your
torso to speed the plane up.
Step 5. By this time in the launch, the plane will be trying to climb on its own, Just release your fingers and
let the plane fly out of your hand. Remember, just release it directly into wind direction.
Step 6. Catch your balance after the moment you have released the plane. Hold the radio firmly in your
hands and then start to enjoy your DLG flying for the day.
Practice makes perfect!
Enjoy!
