ParkZone PKZ1800 - Manual (Page 9)

16 17
1. Don’t fly in winds over 10 mph! If you are a less
experienced pilot, this is especially important.
2. A pilot who has never flown a 3-channel plane with
pitch control should get help from an experienced
radio control pilot during first flights. Pilots who
have not flown a 3-channel plane at all should not
fly unless an experienced RC pilot is present to
guide them.
3. Choose your flying field carefully—grass and soft
ground with a 600-foot (183-meter) diameter of
open space is optimal for flying and will lengthen
the life of your airplane. Make sure there are no
obstacles that will get in your way when flying,
such as trees or buildings. Make sure you do not
fly where there are pedestrians who could be hurt
by the airplane.
4. Remember that holding the stick full over for too
long can cause the airplane to spiral dive and
crash. At the very first sign of the plane beginning
to spiral down, immediately release the stick and
give the opposite turn control to the spiral, then
pull back on the elevator gently to level flight and
level the wings.
Repairing Minor Damage
ParkZone 18-Amp ESC Success Tips
5. Don’t attempt to fly or do maneuvers beyond your
flying abilities. Seek the assistance of an experi-
enced pilot when trying new maneuvers that are
more extreme and involve fast flight.
6. If you’re gliding with the motor off, allow your plane
more area for turns.
7. Position yourself at your flying field so that you
keep the sun at your back and out of your eyes.
Wear sunglasses on bright days.
8. Keep the aircraft upwind, especially on windier
days, to prevent it from “flying away.” The wind is
normally stronger at higher altitudes than it is on
the ground.
9. Keep your plane in front of you so you don’t have
to turn in circles as you fly. Try to avoid flying
directly overhead.
If you happen to crash, and part of the fueslage or wing
breaks, you can repair the damage by using regular
medium CA glue to glue the pieces back on, or packing
tape to cover the missing pieces. However, if the
damage is severe, or if the wings and/or tail,are bent,
replace the damaged parts prior to flying again. See the
last few pages of the manual for a complete list of
replacement parts for your P-51D Mustang.
Note: Horizontal stabilizer is not compatible with
regular CA. Use foam-safe CA or replace stabilizer
if damaged.
