E-flite Mini Funtana X ARF - Manual (Page 48)

Flying Your Mini FuntanaX
Once you have finish the assembly of your Mini FuntanaX
and have verified the center of gravity, you are ready to
go. Check all the flight controls to ensure they are moving
the in the correct direction and giving you the amount of
throw you want. What we have listed in the high rates is
enough to 3D the Mini FuntanaX with ease. Once at your
park, you will find the steerable tailwheel makes taxiing of
the Mini FuntanaX very easy. Apply power and you should
be in the air in less than 50 feet. Trim the model out for
level flight and check the feel of the controls. You will
find the Mini FuntanaX has very light feel on the controls
and is capable of anything you want to put it through.
Flying high alpha is very easy and you will find the model
exhibits very nice control authority in all respects. Rolls are very crisp and precise on either rate. Landing the Mini
FuntanaX is as easy as reducing power in the downwind
and establishing a gentle descent rate as you turn from
base to final. Once on final approach, adjust the power
as necessary to determine your touchdown point. Apply a
small amount of up elevator as you slow down and begin
to approach the ground. The Mini FuntanaX likes to be
set down in a three point attitude when landing. You will
find the model behaves very well at slow speeds and lands
very slowly as well. Flight times of better than 10 minutes
are common with the Park 480 outrunner and a 2100 Li-
Po battery.
We hope you enjoy the new Mini FuntanaX as much as
we do, happy landings.
