Apply the supplied stickers.
Tie the wing to the fuselage using the supplied rubber band.
Pour the ballast into the nose of your model in order to achieve the correct Centre of gravity (CG) position. Support the wing of the model with your fingertips in the point marked "" on the fuselage plan. The fuselage should be level - if the nose pitches up, add more ballast into the nose. If the tails pitch up, remove the ballast.
Choose a nice, calm day for the first flight of your Der Mini FALKE. The flying field should be a flat, grassy site. Free of power lines or other obstacles. The model must be launched into the wind every time. Throw grass into the air to observe the wind direction. Hold your model with the wings and fuselage level. Launch your model with a gentle push straight with the nose pointing slightly down. Do not throw your model with nose up, or at a greater angle than 10 degrees down. The model must have a certain minimum speed from the very start to stay airborne. It is not enough to just place your model in the air. It is better to land in tall grass in order to prevent any damage to your model during initial trimming.

If everything is OK (correct wing and tailplane alignment, correct CG position), Der Mini FALKE will fly with the wings level in a nice glide with its nose pointing slightly down. If the model glides straight down to the earth a few paces in front of you, bend the elevator slightly up. On the other hand, if the model climbs up and then stalls, you will need to bend the elevator slightly down. If your model turns left, bend the rudder slightly right and vice versa. Repeat the test until you achieve a smooth long glide.
Once trimmed out you can try your first hi-start with your Der Mini FALKE using 15 m towline (a fishing line) or a bungee (3–5 m of 3×2 mm rubber thread and 5–10 m of thin fishing line). Tie a key ring to one end (bowline knot is the best) and a flag (a piece of red cloth) 20–30 cm from the end. The flag makes the towline visible in the air as well as on the ground. Find a suitable spool to keep the towline on.
