Flying Your T-34 Mentor
Your T-34 Mentor 25e ARF has been designed with
performance in mind for spirited aerobatics while still
maintaining gentle stall characteristics in slow flight.
After plugging in your battery taxi out onto the runway
and line up on the center line. Apply power and
after a short takeoff roll, apply a small amount of up
elevator. Climb to altitude and trim the model for level
flight at approximately 3/4 throttle. Once trimmed
out you will find the model behaves very well to any
command. Inverted flight requires only a small amount
of down elevator to maintain level flight. Rolls, loops,
and Split S maneuvers are easily accomplished with
either power system. Landing the T-34 is about as easy
as a low wing plane can get. Reduce power and set
up on final approach. A small amount of up elevator
will deliver the flare to touchdown just like the pro’s do
it. We hope you enjoy the T-34 as much as we have.
Happy landings.

Safety Do’s and Don’ts for Pilots
• Check all control surfaces prior to each takeoff.
• Do not fly your model near spectators, parking
areas or any other area that could result in injury to
people or damage of property.
• Do not fly during adverse weather conditions. Poor
visibility can cause disorientation and loss of control
of your aircraft. Strong winds can cause similar
problems.
• Do not take chances. If at any time during flight you
observe any erratic or abnormal operation, land
immediately and do not resume flight until the cause
of the problem has been ascertained and corrected.
Safety can never be taken lightly.
• Do not fly near power lines.
Daily Flight Checks
 1. Check the battery voltage of the transmitter
battery. Do not fly below the manufacturer’s
recommended voltage. To do so can crash
your aircraft.
When you check these batteries, ensure that you have
the polarities correct on your expanded scale voltmeter.
 2. Check all hardware (linkages, screws, nuts,
and bolts) prior to each day’s flight. Be sure that
binding does not occur and that all parts are
properly secured.
 3. Ensure that all surfaces are moving in the
proper manner.
 4. Perform a ground range check before each
day’s flying session.
 5. Prior to starting your aircraft, turn off your
transmitter, then turn it back on. Do this each time
you start your aircraft. If any critical switches are
on without your knowledge, the transmitter alarm
will sound a warning at this time.
 6. Check that all trim levers are in the
proper location.
 7. All servo pigtails and switch harness plugs
should be secured in the receiver. Make sure that
the switch harness moves freely in both directions.
