E-flite Apprentice S 15e RTF with SAFE - Manual (Page 19)

EN
The aircraft can fly for approximately 10 minutes on
one battery charge. This flight time is based on the
recommended flying style shown in this manual.
If the motor begins to pulse, the battery is getting low and
you must land immediately.
1. Decrease the throttle and bring the aircraft’s nose into
the wind. Do not be afraid to fully reduce the throttle
and let the aircraft glide unpowered.
2. While gliding into the wind, little or no elevator, aileron
and rudder should be required. If you think the aircraft
will land short of your target area, gently add a small
amount of throttle.
3. Once the aircraft is 1 meter (3–4 feet) above ground,
slowly pull back the elevator stick. At this speed, this
should result in a “flare”, causing the nose to rise without
increasing altitude. The aircraft will lose speed so that
the main gear lands first before the nose gear touches
down.
4. Allow the aircraft to come to a stop.
CAUTION: Never catch a flying aircraft in your
hands. Doing so could cause personal injury and damage
to the aircraft.
NOTICE: If a crash is imminent, reduce the throttle and trim
fully. Failure to do so could result in extra damage to the
airframe, as well as damage to the ESC and motor.
NOTICE: Crash damage is not covered under warranty.

Flying
Let the aircraft climb at full throttle, into the wind, until the
aircraft gets about 300 feet (91meters) above the ground,
then decrease the throttle to half (50%).
Try to make only small and gentle movements of the
control sticks so you can see how the aircraft responds.
Your aircraft is designed to climb and turn well.
Flying with the nose pointed toward you is one of the
hardest things to do when learning to fly.
To practice piloting the aircraft with the nose pointed
toward you, try flying in large circles high off the ground.
In Beginner mode, when properly trimmed, your
aircraft will climb at full throttle without use of elevator.
TIP
50% throttle
Full throttle Reduced throttle
Landing in Beginner mode will give the student pilot a
better chance for success.
