Step 1: Hand launch and initial trimming
- The model must be launched into the wind every time. Throw grass into the air to observe the wind direction.
- Turn on your transmitter.
- Connect and put the receiver battery into the nose and secure the canopy.
- Hold your model with the wings and fuselage level (refer to the drawing) – it is better to ask a friend to launch your model than to do everything by yourself – you can then concentrate on the controls. Launch your model with a gentle push straight and level. You will feel the point at which the model is trying to fly naturally. Do not give it too strong a push. Do not throw your model with nose up, or greater 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.
- If everything is OK, the Sling MINI will glide gently to the ground without the need for a control input. If Sling MINI quickly loses altitude, pull the elevator stick very slightly towards you (just a little!) to achieve a steady shallow glide. If Sling MINI pitches her nose strongly, immediately push the elevator stick to prevent the stall; to achieve a steady shallow glide.
