At start these planes were small ones but currently there has been an improvement to bigger ones which may be difficult for one to fly. Before you fly these planes it is expected that you perform a serious check of the weather conditions as to whether they will influence flight negatively. To the small planes this is not a must but for large ones this is a mandatory step.
When you are satisfied that the weather is conducive for a flight then tighten any loose bolts or nuts and put together all what you need. Then after this check that the plane is balanced by ensuring the central gravity is where is supposed to be. This is an involving activity so it is necessary that before and even on the first flight take with you an experienced pilot to guide you and observe the plane on air to see to it all the necessary parts are fixed as it should be.
Once that s done use the control properly and concentrate on what you are doing so that you just do not fly this plane anywhere but the designed direction. Be in a position at the back of the plane such that you are facing forward and pull back the stick. Check the rudder the same way.
Check to see to it that the carburetor opens properly when you push in stick. This shows that all the important controls are working as needed. To save the battery which may be drained by flaps being unset you should use the radio to set them.
Gasoline is termed as the best fuel for these small planes for they are easy to operate if they are started properly. In addition to that the following should also be properly installed the engine, the fuel filter and the tank.
After this is done be sure that your machine has been fitted with the right size of a propeller as per the recommendation in the engine manual. Then start the engine and leave it to warm up for two or so minutes. When taking off it should be slowly and with care not to start abruptly. When not used to this plane make it a habit to be using runaways until you are properly familiar with this plane.
When you satisfied that the roll is enough, pull up the elevator in a slow pace till it breaks the ground. Grasp back the pressure to see how the model gets up, if it steepens release slowly the behind pressure. When your departure is fully established consider striking the retract switch and then pull the gear. When a plane is big be careful not to fly it as high as the eyes may see as if it is still near.
