Mode Change Flight Control System
Your Super Decathlon comes with the ability to change flight
modes as you gain more experience and become more
familiar with it. There are two modes that are selectable from
the transmitter switch that you can choose from:
Mode A (Low Rate): Mode A is recommended for all first
flights. The control travel will be limited in this mode, allowing
you to become more familiar with your plane. The switch on
the back of the transmitter will be back when you are in this
mode.
Mode B (High Rate): Mode B no longer limits your control
surface travel, allowing more aggressive flying and aerobatics.
However, your Super Decathlon will also be more prone to
crashes due to over-control if you are not careful. The switch
on the transmitter will be toward the pilot when in this mode.
Hand Launching the Super Decathlon
1. Make certain that the aircraft battery is fully charged.
2. Turn on transmitter.
3. Plug in aircraft battery.
4. While holding the transmitter in one hand, push throttle
slider to full on (up) with thumb.
5. Take a couple of steps back and launch directly into the
wind. Keep the wings level. Use medium force, do not
throw it up or down. Point it level (parallel) with the ground
when releasing.
6. Keep steering into the wind and hold at full throttle in a
slight climb until you have reached an altitude of at least
50 feet.
7. When you have reached this altitude, it is safe to steer in
the desired direction as well as adjust the throttle input to
help control altitude and speed.
